However, I think ReSharper C++ will quickly grow and will overshadow VAX. ReSharper C++ will be the clear winner after some bug fixes and with this plugin. I'm planning to start work on a ReSharper C++ plugin that adds direct support for the UE4isms and offer UE4-specific refactorings. I've done this for my C# projects, and it is very powerful having a plugin that understands your project and workflows. It's possible to create plugins that extend ReSharper's functionality. Overall, JetBrains has seemed to grow ReSharper C# and their other products better/faster than Whole Tomato has with VAX, so while the current release is a bit shakey for UE4, I expect that to change.Īnother area I'm very excited about ReSharper C++ is plugin support. Their optional subscription plans are definitely worth the money.
RESHARPER EAP VISUAL STUDIO 2022 UPDATE
They update their product lines very regularly, and their updates tends to add major features that do become part of my core workflow. I've been very pleased with the quality of JetBrains products. I am very pleased with ReSharper C#, and I'm already seeing nearly identical workflows with ReSharper C++.
RESHARPER EAP VISUAL STUDIO 2022 CODE
The code navigation and refactoring tools I'm used to with ReSharper C# all seem to work. ReSharper C++ does have some other quirks with the UE4 code base (e.g., it tends to show errors on the UHT macros), but nevertheless it's still very usable. Personally, I've just been leaving Visual Studio running. The scan is in the background, and I can still work while it scans, but unfortunately, I don't have access to any of the ReSharper C++ tools and code navigation. It also seems to do this every time I open the solution. can take FOREVER for it to scan the project (20+ minutes). The 40 meg project limit mentioned by u/kylawl doesn't seem to apply to the 1.0 release (I recall seeing that in the EAP builds, but can't find any mention about it currently). It's definitely a good initial 1.0 release, but it also has its issues. ReSharper C++ has only been released a couple of days. They do publish enough updates that I do think it's worth the yearly $79 maintenance price. Don't get me wrong, they add nice features, but it's been a while since they've added something that has become part of my core workflow. Also, I tend to be underwhelmed with the new features. Whole Tomato does publish regular updates, but these updates come slower than I'm used to with JetBrains. It takes a few minutes the first time you open a solution, but after that there's no issues. Performance wise, I've not had any issues with VAX and UE4. It does not have as many refactoring and navigation features that I'm used with ReSharper C#. And for these features alone, it's worth the money.

Find Symbol in Solution, Open File in Solution, Goto Member, and Rename Symbol are the features I use extensively. It's not as polished of a tool as the JetBrains products, but I'm still pleased with it. I haven't done a lot of UE4 development with it, but I do have extensive experience with ReSharper C#. ReSharper C++ was released a couple of days ago, so I switched to try it out. I've used VAX for Unreal Engine (3 and 4) development for many years.
