Details

Bracketeer will show you all you need to know about the brackets in your code (highlight brackets, show information about closing brackets, etc...)

This solution will extend the C/C++ (CDT) editor.

Features:

Coloring the brackets surrounding the cursor & brackets which have no match.
Showing automatic comments on brackets closing: loops, functions, etc...
Highly customizable.

Examples:

Hints:

Have you ever found yourself mesmerized by this block of code:
break; } } } }

Would life be easier if it looked like this?
break; } // if(a==1) } // switch(b) } //void foo(a,b,c) } // MyClass

Surrounding brackets:

And what about this?
if(((a == 1) && (b == 2)) || ((c == 3) && ((d == 4) || (e == 5))))

Once you put the cursor somewhere in this statement, the brackets surrounding your cursor would be highlighted.

Current supported editors:

JDT (java)
CDT (C/C++)

CDT: Thank, please add namespace and try/catch

Submitted by Chris Minnoy on Fri, 2021-09-03 05:42

Thanks for creating this! Great work.

Can you add namespace support?
Also brackets for try/catch are not commented (at least for me).

C++: Please add namespace; maybe doesn't handle C++ noexcept

Submitted by Chris Minnoy on Fri, 2021-09-03 05:27

First, thanks for making this. Really great.

Some remarks from my side;
I noticed that names of namespaces do not appear behind their closing brackets. There is also no configuration for this.
Next there might be an issue with the 'noexcept' specifier as function comments don't pop up if you have noexcept at the end of a function declaration.

Thanks a lot, this worked for me on Eclipse 2020-06 (4.16) with CDT 9.11.1. So I got back my beloved tool!

Bracketeer under Eclipse 2019-09

Submitted by Bernhard Lechleitner on Mon, 2019-11-25 02:12

Thanks for the effort to create this very usefull extension. I have to analyze foreign source code quite often and Bracketeer is a really handy tool for that task. Recently I had to switch my development environment from Eclipse 4.6 to the latest 4.13 (2019-09) and unfortunately Bracketeer is no longer working with that and I'm missing it.

Are there any chances, that Bracketeer will be adapted to newer Eclipse versions or are there some reasons, that this is no longer possible? Is there already work in progress? I would appreciate that very much and would like to make a donation if that might help to make this happen. Even I encourage all the other Bracketeer users, which are waiting for an Update, to think about a donation to motivate the creator. ;-)
