(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Create or Modify a compiler which has all the amazing powers of MS Visual Studio ide but implement ab autocorrect feature. It would be mcuh easier that doing it with the englicsh language because the c++ language consists of simple syntax. For example auto correct cout>>"Hello World"; to cout<<"..."; Also i could allow me to set my own auto corrections, so if i make a constant mistake that the autocorrect does not pick up i could force it to change it. For example *(point).butthole(); will become point->butthole();

RIP PICHU.
Auto correction would cause too many issues. Only highlighting known compiler mistakes and giving suggestions would be best.

The following user thanked Pichu for this useful post:

I love ngu because people always elaborate.
(Also because they never believe that they can work around problems, but that’s another story)

i hope to god you sense my sarcasm

I do and I don't. What I don't get is whether it is negative or positive towards my statement.

If you want to know why I'd assume it to be an annoyance is when users create classes. There is already an auto-suggestion but to auto-correct, I sense there would be a lot of issues.

When I write functions or classes, sometimes I have them do different things with a similar prefix towards a certain process I am trying to get completed.

It could be done, but I see too much bad.

Imagine int num1, num2, num3, num4;

Imagine if I typed in num. Num is not a data-type so you would have to assume its a variable due to it's closeness. If you were to program an auto-correction, I'd suggest writing something that broke down every variable and upped, lowered the ASCII value of a character to produce possibilities and then suggest anything that contains.

a could be null, b.
b could be a, c.
c could be b, d.

Even then I see problems...

A suggestion would be better than auto-correcting.

YES, but imagine a user developed auto crrect. I mean literally user developed as

use case:
"I tend to write cout>>. So i go to the auto correct box and make sure that every time i write cout>> it becomes cout<<. unless its overloaded."

'Well, if it's for personal use, I can see that being possible. I create my own programs to handle my issues for me and then discard them when I know I want ever need to use it again.

I assume if you make it only for yourself, you can fix it until you have it doing what you want it to do.
