Can you give an example of a situation where a parenthesis isn't desirable?
I can think of two situations:
- There is already a parenthesis after the cursor.
This is something we can detect, and not insert the parenthesis
in that case.
Bug 72391 tracks this.
- You are passing a pointer to the function.
This is also something we can detect in many cases, and
not insert the parenthesis.
Bug 496563 tracks this.
Anything else? I don't think the above two cases are sufficient motivation for a prefernce, since we can figure out the desirable behaviour in most cases.

Build Identifier: Build id: 20100917-0705 When writing code in CDT editor, consider the following: void fooBarBaz(int a, int b); void barBazFoo(void); int main(void) { // start typing fooBarBaz function name here: foo<ctrl+Space> // it will auto-fill the entire function, such as fooBarBaz() // placing the cursor at the end of ) } What I'm requesting is a user pref, similar to the "Typing" pref that auto-inserts closing ", ), } etc, to disable this auto-insertion of args. Completing a function name is fine, but don't touch my parenthesis. So correct behavior with this pref turned off with previous example would be: 1) type foo+ctrlSpace 2) it completes to fooBarBaz with cursor at the end. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install eclipse 2. Install CDT 3. Follow the steps in Description to add a function name with content assist.
