Code Style

ReSharper | Options | Code Editing | C++ | Code Style

Preferences configurable on this page are taken into account when ReSharper produces new code with code completion and code generation features, applies code templates and performs refactorings. They can also be applied to the existing code by using code cleanup with the corresponding settings.

Item	Description
Include directives
Use forward slash in include directives	Use this checkbox to choose the preferred path separator for include directives: forward slash or backward slash.
Prefer to use forward declarations if possible	If this option is selected, the new items are created with the forward declaration in the header file.
Use paths relative to the source file	You can use this selector to configure how ReSharper inserts paths to source files when importing types with a quick-fix or with import symbol completion.
Use angle brackets instead of quotes	By default, generated include directives are added in quotes, if necessary, you can use this selector to specify cases where generated include directives are added in angle brackets.
Position of cv-qualifiers
Put cv-qualifiers before type	If this option is selected, the `const`, `volatile`, and `mutable` qualifiers are put before the type specifier. Otherwise, they are put after the type specifier.
Put 'const' before 'volatile'	Defines the order of cv-qualifiers.
Initialization
Default pointer initializer	You can specify `0`, `nullptr` or `NULL` as the preferred initializer for pointer initializers, for example: `const char *foo = nullptr`.
Use uniform initialization in member initializers	By default, ReSharper uses C++03 style when generating initializers (for example when you generate constructors or apply a quick-fix that inserts initializer into an existing constructor). You can select this checkbox to enable uniform initialization in the above mentioned cases.
Prefer uniform initialization in NSDMIs	This option lets you configure how ReSharper generates non-static data member initializations (NSDMIs) when applying its features. Fore example, when you apply a quick-fix `Alt+Enter` on the uninitialized `field` in the following code class test { int field; }; ReSharper will generate a uniform initialization `int field{0};` when the option is enabled, and `int field = 0;` if the option is disabled.
Refactorings
Insert type alias instead of typedef in the 'Introduce Type' refactoring	Use this checkbox to make the Introduce Typedef refactoring use type alias instead of `typedef`. For more information, see Aliases and typedefs (C++) on Microsoft Docs.
Generate
Use trailing return types in generated function declarations	If this option is enabled, various code generation features will create function declarations with trailing return types instead of using the classic return type style.
