[br]Hi,

I found that Visual Assist has problems with autocompleting fields of a struct if it contains bit fields. In my case it autocompletes only the fields that are set as bitfields and misses every other field in a struct.

Here's an example:
[code]
struct FJournalSection
{
	uint32 Magic;
	uint32 Version : 30;
	uint32 Priority : 2;
	uint32 Hash;
	uint32 Offset;
	uint32 Size;
};

FJournalSection FirstSection = ReadSection();

int32 SectionSize = FirstSection.Size;

[/code]

However it doesn't have problems navigating to fields that are not bit-fields.
For what it's worth this is an Unreal Engine project solution.

My version is 10.9.2537.0 built 2024.10.27

Hi,

I found that Visual Assist has problems with autocompleting fields of a struct if it contains bit fields. In my case it autocompletes only the fields that are set as bitfields and misses every other field in a struct.

Here's an example:


struct FJournalSection
{
	uint32 Magic;
	uint32 Version : 30;
	uint32 Priority : 2;
	uint32 Hash;
	uint32 Offset;
	uint32 Size;
};

FJournalSection FirstSection = ReadSection();

int32 SectionSize = FirstSection.Size;

At the time when I type in "FirstSection." I would expect VAX to show me all the fields from the FJournalSection, but instead it shows only Version and Priority. If I set Hash to be a bit field as well then it shows the three bit fields: Version, Priority and Hash.

However it doesn't have problems navigating to fields that are not bit-fields.
For what it's worth this is an Unreal Engine project solution.
