Xcode 4 C++ class template updated

I've updated the C++ class template for Xcode 4. You may want to take the latest from github and re-run your installation scripts.

This version now:

• Allows you to specify a class' (optional) superclass
• Allows you to add a virtual destructor
• Can make a new class non-copyable (with hidden copy constructor and assignment operator)
• Has a sexy icon that matches all the other Xcode template icons.

Could life get any better?

Xcode 4: A C++ class template

Xcode 4 C++ users, rejoice!

It's really annoying that Xcode 4 has never shipped with a template for creating a new C++ class, with header and implementation file.

It lets you create objective C classes with header and implementation. But you always have to create a C++ header file in one step, and then the implementation in a second step.

And, honestly, why do those steps take so long to update the project?

It's not good enough, and so here's the answer...

The Xcode 4 C++ Class Template

I've created a super-simple to install C++ class template and installer.

Grab it on Github here.

Using it is a simple case of running a script and restarting Xcode. I've built in support for Xcode 4.2 and the new Xcode 4.3. The installer runs a number of sanity checks to make sure you're not about to install something dumb on your computer.

Full docs are in the README file up there.

I hope you find it useful. I know I do.

Making your life better, one class at a time...
