    copied!<p>Update: The JetBrains are working on <a href="http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/features/cpp.html?dotnetblog" rel="noreferrer">Resharper for C++</a>.</p> <p>While not quite as good for C++ as Resharper is for C#, Whole Tomato makes a product called <a href="http://www.wholetomato.com/" rel="noreferrer">Visual Assist X</a> which handles C++ and does it in a reasonably performant manner.</p> <p>Developer Express also makes <a href="http://www.devexpress.com/Products/Visual_Studio_Add-in/Coding_Assistance/" rel="noreferrer">CodeRush</a>, which provides more features than Visual Assist, but which is also a much harder drain on your computer, and also which occasionally makes mistakes -- most constructs using macros won't work correctly with CodeRush. Note that as of 2013-05-31, <a href="https://www.devexpress.com/Products/CodeRush/cpp11.xml" rel="noreferrer">CodeRush has deprecated their C++ support</a>.</p> <p>Resharper and Visual Assist are nice to have around -- I occasionally flip on CodeRush for some of it's better refactorings, but most of the time leave it off because Visual Assist X's code completion assistance is better.</p> <p>Do keep in mind that installing any such plugin requires running the IDE in Integrated Mode (rather than Isolated Mode). This means:</p> <ul> <li>In Visual Studio 2012 or earlier you'll need a full version of Visual Studio, not one of the express editions. If you're a university student you can probably download a full copy from MSDNAA. If you're a non-university student or your university doesn't provide MSDNAA you can still download a full version from <a href="https://www.dreamspark.com/default.aspx" rel="noreferrer">DreamSpark</a>.</li> <li>In Visual Studio 2013 or later you can use the "Community Edition", such as <a href="http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs#d-community" rel="noreferrer">Visual Studio Community 2013</a>.</li> </ul>
