In my code I’ve been rewriting static_cast<int *> about a million times, is there a way to redefine a keyword so that whenever I call this it does the same thing?
example
cast would do the same thing as static_cast<int *>
static_casthas the benefit that C++ programmers will recognize exactly what it is without needing to go find your#defineor other statement. I would highly recommend you continue to usestatic_cast.However, my assumption is that your problem is the number of keystrokes required, and so the best solution would be to use a text editor which supports macros. This way, the code that ends up saved does use the standard
static_cast<T>(x)syntax, but you may only need to type something such as [sc]tabTtabxtab.Information on how to do such will be found in documentation of such editors. I’m not a big fan of highly-customizable editors, so specifics are beyond my knowledge.
