Top Visual Studio 2010 C/C++ Extensions

Question

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

The two extensions I'm using right now are:

H3 Viewer (free, makes Help usable, sort of)
Visual Assist X ($$$ but worth every penny. Intellisense as it should have been. This is not a plug, I'm just a customer of theirs with a few hundred licenses.)

Anything else out there? Note to close voters: there was a similar thread 7 months ago. It's 1) outdated, 2) way too noisy. You can't "recommend" 40 extensions. 3) Generic and not related to C/C++. Resharper may be cool but I have zero interest in managed code.

Shopping advice is off-topic. See http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/11/qa-is-hard-lets-go-shopping/ — Hans Passant, Dec 25 '10 at 18:17
How is that blog post relevant to the question being asked? My question is about making life easier in VS when doing C/C++ work. Pretty much on-topic I think, — martona, Dec 25 '10 at 18:31
by the way why do you have hundreds of licenses? ... just curiosity — Jaime Hablutzel, Feb 01 '13 at 23:57

Two extensions that I've come across recently and find really useful are:

AnkhSVN subversion plug in for VS10.
CodeCompare easy to use document comparing.

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