Thanks a lot for sharing these tips.
I fully depend on Visual Studio:
- for any entity: right click, then ‘Find All References’: this gives a decent sortable search findings, including the files paths, and whether read/write (for variables), and a few other features.
- for functions specifically: right click, then ‘View Call Hierarchy’ (this takes time).
- for classes: in solution explorer window, find the class file where it is defined (usually a header file), right click on the class to see all base classes, and derived classes.
I am pretty much doing this kind of searches, and jumping back and forth between files, writing notes on my GoogleDriveDocs. This is how I am learning the engine.
