Would be nice when at least two of the windows could agree how to color the words "virtual", "void" and "Setup". sigh...

here we go again... *sigh*

only first entry of array is colored right.


foo param Color is colored as type.


foo param ParamBlock is colored as type.


variable of ctors init list is colored as foo.


vs2k3, c++, 1423

will you get new parser ever stable?:)

let me add one more... AND EXPLAIN ME THAT! All of the case labels are enums, actually defined in the same enum block.

Uniwares:
We are unable to repro the problem with virtual. We suspect your use of it (who knows where??) is confusing our parser into thinking you've defined a symbol called virtual. Unfortunately, "int virtual;" isn't enough to confuse our parser -- virtual remains blue in our simple test. Any chance you can find the culprit?

In the cases with "D3DFILL_WIREFRAME" and "case hdr_leon_from", we suspect VA X sees (or believes it sees,) multiple definitions for these symbols. Do such definitions exist? If not, can you provide sample code with the definitions so we can see how they might be confusing our parser?

Variables constructors being colored like functions, and "D3DLIGHT9 *Light" being colored blue, are reproducible and probably fixable within the constraints of our architecture. They are on our list.

from d3d9types.h

typedef enum _D3DFILLMODE {
D3DFILL_POINT = 1,
D3DFILL_WIREFRAME = 2,
D3DFILL_SOLID = 3,
D3DFILL_FORCE_DWORD = 0x7fffffff, /* force 32-bit size enum */
} D3DFILLMODE;


Anyways, here is a small repro that confuses VAX.

enum eBlub
{
eBlub_A, eBlub_B, eBlub_C
};

eBlub table[3] =
{
eBlub_B, eBlub_C, eBlub_A
};

Using 1424 now.

bugfix i have reproduced the problem in your array of enum's screen shot

case=789

support have covered your screen shot labelled "variable of ctors init list is colored as foo."

i cannot reproduce any of the other effects here. i have typed in the code blocks as shown, and while lots of things are underlined the problems are not showing up.

Uniwares i cannot reproduce yours either. enum's seem less likely to be redefined, so i don't know what to make of this.

is anyone able to post a code snippet that reproduces these problems on its own? i suspect these are context sensitive problems *sigh*

After installing 1424 both Color and ParamBlock thing are now colored ok.
Still Light->Type is shown wrong. If I simply enter "Type a;" VAX points to "class System.Type : System.Reflection.MemberInfo" although its a pure c++ project.

The only thing I can see is that the class defines AND declares the function.
class CLogIP : public CLogBase
{
...
protected:
	virtual void Setup()
	{ ... some code here
	}
};

No multiple definitions (besides of having multiple (vss-shared) files). See the following shot, which is taken right from the beginning of the header file which defines those enums. Note the #define too.


Thats all that is to that code.
Am going to try the new build now. Lets see.

bugfix i have reproduced the problem with Type.

case=793

if Type is defined in a stable C++ header then this definition is used for preference. on my development machine it shows as being the enum

QApplication::Type

from Qt. this goes to support the idea that VA is finding multiple definitions of some symbols, and thus getting confused.

Uniwares, in the virtual screen shot are the colours of "virtual" and "void" defined as anything? using the slightly expanded code:


class CLogIP : public CLogBase
{
private:
    long m_ipNumber;
    bool m_known;

protected:
    virtual void Setup()
    {
        m_ipNumber = 0;
        m_known = false;
    }
};


both virtual and void are shown in the same colour here.

after having typed in the first 10 lines of your #define and enum screen shot the colouring is all fine here. from memory you develop under both windows and UNIX. grasping at straws here, but is this header file UNIX format? or perhaps a mix of windows and UNIX format line endings?

the original case was rather specific, so lets have a new case for the definition field colouring.

case=830

1426 solved that problem after cleaning the db, cache etc. Although I still see lots of odd colored symbols all around.

support are hoping that the hyper threading fix will help with these odd colouring problems.
