Code Style
Preferences configurable on this page help you enforce code syntax style— how to use interchangeable language syntax constructions. These preferences are taken into account when JetBrains Rider 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.
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 JetBrains Rider inserts paths to source files when importing types with a quick-fix or with Class Name 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, JetBrains Rider 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 JetBrains Rider generates non-static data member initializations (NSDMIs) when applying its features. Fore example, when you apply a quick-fixAlt+Enter on the uninitialized field in the following code
class test {
int field;
};
JetBrains Rider will generate a uniform initialization int field{0}; when the option is enabled, and int field = 0; if the option is disabled. |
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. |
