    Description

      With C+11 / C+14, auto type deduction are everywhere.

      Qt Creator is able to show the type of a variable when the user hovers the mouse cursor on a variable name. Except when it is automatically deduced

      In the following code sample, Qt Creator only shows the type of a, not b nor c :

      int main()
      {
        int a = 42; // OK
        auto b = 42; // No type shown
        decltype(auto) c = 42; // No type shown
        // ...
      }

      Suggestion : make auto type deduction work in QtCreator

      • Show the type when the mouse is cursor is hovering
      • Allow "Follow Symbol Under Cursor"/ Ctrl+Click to work with auto/decltype(auto) as it does with explicit types
