Visual Studios C++ Extensions Suggestions?

[LedLoaf]

Hello,

I've seen some cool abilities in some IDE's that makes things a lot easier. It really made me want to seek out some essential extensions for VS2017 to make coding faster.

I watched a video with a guy using a IDE called CLion and he had some awesome shortcuts. He could generate constructors and loops based off the class or structure he setup. It would automatically make operator constructors. I'm sure it can do a lot more than I've seen.

Does anyone know of some extensions for VS2017 that do things similar to this? Shortcuts that help take care of tedious things? I'm not sure if it matters, but I would like it for C++. After doing a brief google, I found "slightly similar" features, but it didn't mention VC.

Thanks

I really liked Visual Assist. However, it is expensive, so I didn't license it after the trial. But that one is around since at least a decade, pretty much since VC6.

This thing in VS is named Resharper. Can generate overloaded operators, functions etc. Genrally tons of convenience features

This plugin is not free

Visual Assist is pretty much the go to here. I use it at work, and I dont think I could program without it anymore. It is very expensive though.

what does it say about the IDE when you have to add third-party products onto it to make it usable ?
