Top Visual Studio 2010 C/C++ Extensions [closed]

Question

What are your must-have extensions for VS2010 development in C/C++? I'm not looking for anything related to C#, ASP.NET, etc. Just things that are related to old-fashioned C/C++ work. Or things that have universal appeal.

The two extensions I'm using right now are:

• H3 Viewer (free, makes Help usable, sort of)
• Visual Assist X ($$$ but worth every penny. Intellisense as it should have been. This is not a plug, I'm just a customer of theirs with a few hundred licenses.)

Anything else out there? Note to close voters: there was a similar thread 7 months ago. It's 1) outdated, 2) way too noisy. You can't "recommend" 40 extensions. 3) Generic and not related to C/C++. Resharper may be cool but I have zero interest in managed code.

Answer 1

Two extensions that I've come across recently and find really useful are:

• AnkhSVN subversion plug in for VS10.
• CodeCompare easy to use document comparing.

Both are great to use on their own but work even better together, and best of all they're free :)
