Some tips for speeding it up: - -* ### Use the "filters" argument to gn to exclude parts of Chromium - you're not interested in, e.g. "gn gen --ide=vs - --filters=//components/omnibox/\* --sln=omnibox out/Debug" will only - create projects for components/omnibox/ and its dependencies. - However, be aware that Code Search (see below) will not work on code - that's been filtered out! -* ### A very useful extension which helps manage this is - [VsFunnel](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=DimitriDering.Funnel). - This extension allows you to select which projects in a solution - will be loaded at solution load time, and which will remain in the - "unloaded" state. Unloaded projects are not indexed by VS, so this - extension can drastically speed up VS responsiveness. The unloaded - projects will remain searchable via VsChromium (see below). - -### After opening the solution, give Visual Studio about 10-15 minutes to finish -parsing files etc; it'll become more responsive after that. - -### Code Search - -### The [VsChromium](http://chromium.github.io/vs-chromium/) extension provides -fast code search, among other useful features. Code from unloaded solutions (via -VsFunnel, see above) is still searchable! - -### Column Limit - -You can set up column guidelines at 80 columns or wherever you would like by -installing [this Visual Studio -extension](https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/da227a0b-0e31-4a11-8f6b-3a149cf2e459) -and using the context menu options. - -### cpplint.py integration - -cpplint.py integration makes it easy to check that a source file conforms to the -style guide. To do this, just go to Tools > External Tools > Add. Specify: - -* Title: cpplint.py -* Command: c:\\src\\depot_tools\\cpplint.bat -* Arguments: --output=vs7 $(ItemPath) -* Initial directory: $(ItemDir) -* Check Use Output window - -To create a keyboard shortcut: - -1. Go to Tools > Options > Environment > Keyboard. -2. Select Tools.ExternalCommand1. (This assumes cpplint.py is your - first external command in your Tools menu.) -3. Press a shortcut key (let's say Alt+L) and Assign it. -4. Press OK. - -Or, make the title something like c&pplint.py, and invoke it with Alt+t,p. - -### Text Editor (No tabs, indentation, line numbers) - -The style guide requires no tabs and 2 char indentation. To set this, go to -Tools > Options. On the Text Editor/All languages/Tabs page, set - -* Indenting radio to Smart -* Tab size and Indent Size to 2 -* Check Insert spaces - -### Debugging visualization, macros, more - -See -<http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/how-to-set-up-visual-studio-debugger-visualizers>. |
