C++: Docs & Refactoring

Dear all,

I have two simple questions regarding Xcode's "view" of C++. Forgive me, but I feel that C++ is a second (third?) rate citizen in Xcode.

First question.

Has anyone ever succeeded in refactoring C++ code? Owing to LLVM & Clang, refactoring should be working like a charm. And it's been quite a while since the switch to clang... so why isn't refactoring available?


Second question.

Why isn't there a C++ "inline" documentation? And by inline I mean both the Quick Help in the side bar, and the option-click on a symbol. This is distressing, since it seems that it works perfectly with other libraries (boost for instance), and to worsen the situation, it works for any documented C++ code. Case in point:

//! This class rocks
class abc
{
public:

    //! This is my only member variable
    int q;

    //! @function print
    //! @param i Some integer that multiplies q
    //! @param j A useless parameter
    //! @brief This prints, but I was testing
    //! multiline comments, and they work
    void print(int i = 1, int j = 1) { std::cout << q * i << std::endl; };


It works for custom code, so why isn't the C++ headers documented as they should? Yes, I could justify it with "hey, it's libc++ team's business to write documentation", but I don't think it could just be ditched as somebody's else business. Moreover, C functions are, in fact, documented, just include something like stdlib.h and see qsort or bsearch.

Thanks & Cheers!
