autoplace semicolon (after class, struct, enum definitions)

[oktonion]

Type: LanguageService

Describe the bug

• OS and Version: Windows 10, latest Ubuntu etc...
• VS Code Version: 1.30.2
• C/C++ Extension Version: 0.21.0
• Other extensions you installed (and if the issue persists after disabling them): none

So the suggestion is to auto place semicolon after class, struct, enum and union definition. Since we have already autocompletion for the brackets, when struct A {| completes to struct A{ | } why not to put a semicolon after brackets to complete class, struct etc. definition like struct A{ | };. It really bugs me to put semicolon every time at the end of definition.

To Reproduce

1. Type struct A {|
2. Auto complete will do its job: struct A{ | }
3. Observe error squiggles - missing semicolon after struct definition!
4. Put semicolon by hand

Expected behavior
Autocomplete with semicolon at the end of class, struct, enum and union definition.

We have struct/class/etc. snippets that do this. Have you tried that or is the snippet behavior not desirable? VS Code itself auto-completes the }, but there is no way for us to change that behavior and add a ";" at the end.

I've filed a feature request with Visual Studio Code at microsoft/vscode#67090 (you could upvote that).

Oh, thank you. It is confusing sometimes to distinguish the job of extension and the editor itself.

Is it possible to auto add semicolon after break and continue?

[sean-mcmanus]

@xgdgsc You mean as part of the keyword completion? I think that's the only place it could be added. i.e.

I've filed an issue at #8932 .
