Description
Other than genenrating function definition one by one, we need to generate a whole cpp files from the header. i.e. After we finish the declaration of a class or some functions in .h, we can create a .cpp with those definitions there. The extention c/c++ definition generator extenstion implements some functions, but far away from perfect.
It would be great if cpptool adding such a feature.
