Sounds like an existential crisis. I know a good psychologist. You'd like him; he has a thing for $5-10K carbon fiber road bikes.

if you utilize Visual Studio and C++ you know IntelliSense likes a so called hint file i.e. "cpp.hint" . as far as i know no automatic means to generate this file exists . as i find manually entering each macro tedious and usually forget to do so at time of writing each macro and as i found current project has more than 1000 macros i wrote a C program to generate said hint file . i don't know how others solve this problem however if any would find this code useful i can provide same after polishing up the last 2% .

I haven't used VS in years, but if it's a common problem people face these days then it's a great candidate for an article. Perhaps it could be your first one.

If anyone else is wondering like I was: Hint Files | Microsoft Learn[^]

I'm always torn when it comes to #define macros. I've had a number of cases where that was the cleanest way to solve a problem, but I've always felt vaguely guilty about it. My intuition says that if you need to supply a "hint file", maybe you're overdoing it in the macro department.

We have a program that needs a fair few code macros to generate boiler-plate. We simply define those macros only in cpp.hint and include that file to bring in the macros where needed. Of course we're only doing this to keep Visual Studio "intellisense" happy.
