C/C++ project has in the pop up menu the item "Code Assistance->Dump C/C++ Code Model Diagnostic". It is ok to have additional item that help developer to understand a code model problem. The Item should help solve problem in the user understandable terms. Now the item show dialog with a lot of check boxes (14 check boxes). Most of check boxes have an unclear meaning (from user point of view and probably from developer point of view also). My suggestion is: UI should be based on "problem solving". So instead 14 check boxes UI should have understandable items: - Diagnostic of the current edited file <file name> - Diagnostic unresolved include directives of the current edited file <file name> - Diagnostic identifiers "redness" of the current edited file <file name> - Extended diagnostic (this item allows to select any check boxes from original list)
There is a misinterpretation of the purpose of this item. It is not to help user resolve his/her issues directly. It is to supply developers with an information to resolve the issue. There are some analogues: IDE Log (has a menu item), GDB log. This one is of the same sort.
