Re: Cedet Semantic does not show overloaded functions in either: semantic-ia-complete-symbol-menu OR autocomplete-text after period

Eric,

Sorry to dig up an old thread but I cannot see why people would not want
variants to show. It is common for C++ to have overloaded constructors and
the engine (I do not have proof and I am just guessing) seems to pick out
the first constructor it sees.

I am not sure I understood what you meant clearly about
ia-semantic-complete-symbol-menu : I always use this - and this is where I
would like to see all variants: by applying this patch I should be able to?

I cannot see why people would not want the option is all. Unless, of course,
it is because people are just using CEDET/Semantic for C code where you
cannot have overloaded functions.
