Top Visual Studio 2010 C / C ++ Extensions

Question

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

The two extensions I'm using now:

• H3 Viewer (free, allows you to use Help, sort of)
• Visual Assist X ($$$, but worth every penny. Intellisense, as it should be. This is not a plugin, m only a client with several hundred licenses.)

Is there anything else out there? Note to close voters: there was a similar topic 7 months ago. This is 1) obsolete, 2) too noisy. You cannot “recommend” 40 extensions. 3) General and not related to C / C ++. Resharper may be cool, but I have no interest in managed code.

Answer 1

Two extensions I met recently and find really useful:

• AnkhSVN subversion plug-in for VS10.
• CodeCompare convenient document comparison.

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