I remember people using eclipse and having orthography correction on comments, fixmes, "instant" reanalysis whenever the code was changed, automatic creation of accessory methods... things like that. I don't remember the same features were as popular among C/C++ developers at the time.
Maybe my feeling is wrong, but I always had a feeling that more "modern" more "dynamic" languages implemented development tools faster or even before the same features became available and popular for C/C++.
- fluoridation 5y agoC++ is much more difficult to parse than Java, so refactoring is a big ask. If your renaming tool can miss some usages it's worse than nothing. IMO C++ also has always had less boilerplate than Java, so boilerplate generators were less useful. C++ also has other typing-saving tools, such as the preprocessor (we can argue about whether it's a good tool, but it can certainly save typing).
