But I still don't see the need for this feature. Aren't people using
IDEs where the function signature (with parameter names) pops up when
you're entering the function, and when you move the mouse over the
function call?
And if you really want to see them all the time, why not build that
feature into the IDE?
("hit ctrl-f9 to show all parameter names, hit it again to hide them").
That's exactly the point I was going to make, as soon as I saw the
question/challenge of " HRESULT hr = m_Device.Present(null, null,
null, null);
Quick: What behavior does that third argument specify?"
For such a fine grained and common situation, looking that API up
anywhere outside the IDE (such as in a webpage, or in a file in a
filesystem) in any serious development just seems to me very archaic.
But hey, maybe I'm just spoiled by Java... :P
