Hi,
I'm not sure if this was fixed in a new version as I'm using build 1434, but when placing a comment at the end of a #define, the suggestion box always open and inserts text. Here is an example:
#define MAX_WAIT_TIME 123 // wait for ...
After I type wait and press space, VAX inserts "wait_a_bit".
Thanks,
--Eric

VA X does not check much of anything per se, except maybe if symbols are valid in the current context or not. This is the case whether at the end of #define or anywhere else in your code.
As for this instance...
VA X knows you are typing a comment when your caret follows // on a #define line. VA X does what it does with all comments -- helps you complete words by offering suggestions (notice we say "words," not "symbols" since you do not have context when inside a comment. VA X garners suggestions from lots of places when inside a comment, including what's in your source file.
Intellisense and the like features, e.g. completion listboxes and parameter info, do not work inside comments -- again because your words do not have context. |

You are correct. The uses of a macro/define are replaced by the C/C++ preprocessor with everything following the macro name until it reaches a new line not preceeded by \\.
So this means that VAX will check what I type even in the comments at the end of the #define line?

are comments a special case that i am unaware of? or is this just a made up example?

Do you have "Accept with any character..." enabled in the "Text editor|Listboxes" node of our options dialog? If so, we suggest you disable it and accept only with Tab and/or Enter. |
