Maybe such a thing already exists, but I have not been able to locate it ?
There are several such things. They need some work to make them
more comfortable though:
1.
You can add code templates (Ctrl-j). For example for the
method start
go to Tools / Code templates,
then add a new one,
give it a name, e.g. 'pb' and a description 'procedure begin',
click "enable macros"
And as source:
{$IFDEF LOGPROCESSFLOW}Log('Entering $ProcedureName()');{$ENDIF}
Click ok to save and close dialog.
Move cursor behind the "begin" and type pb and Ctrl+j.
This is what I do now (useful for adding to existing code),
but I want to make it even more simple.
2.
I wrote a small command line utility for Graeme that can add/remove code
to starts/ends of procedures. He needed it for profiling.
The tool is here:
components/codetools/examples/addfpprofcalls.lpi
It is merely a demo, but maybe someone wants to write a dialog
and/or IDE package.
Aha... Good for backfitting existing code :)
3.
Donald Ziesig added templates to the IDE to configure some parts of
class completion. You can try it by compiling Lazarus with
-dEnableCodeCompleteTemplates. Then you should see new options on the
code creation page. I had not the time yet to finish it.
This seems to be what I am looking for. I will try this and report.
Thanks. You confirmed once more that Lazarus is simply the best code editor
around ;)
Michael.
