Vim script for automatic function insertion

Question

Say I have a class evilLord declared in the file evil_lair.hh and is implemented in the file evil_lair.cc. Now, I want to add the function bool minionDo(std::string command). Is there any script which will put the declaration and empty function definition in the respective files automatically?

I am using c-support vim-plugin which I find useful. Maybe this can be added as a functionality to this script...

Answer 1

The task is not that trivial -- if we want to correctly report the scope of the function. I've already done the work in my :GOTOIMPL (and :MOVEIMPL) command, from my lh-cpp ftplugin suite.

Answer 2

Here is a script which will work:

:let lines = ["bool minionDo(std::string command)"]
:e evil_lair.hh
:call append( line('$'), lines )
:wq

:e evil_lair.cc
:call append( line('$'), lines )
:call append( line('$'), "{}" )
:wq
