Hi,
I am evaluating software and first thing I tested was feature I miss in VS: "Goto implementation"
"Goto implementation" does not work when cpp file has
using statement.
Our namespace hierarchy is complex (and long).
(This is simple test to reproduce behaviour)
//namespace.h
#pragma once
using namespace System;
namespace VisualAssist1 {
namespace Test1 {
public __gc class Class1;
}
}
// VisualAssist1.h
#include "namespace.h"
public __gc class VisualAssist1::Test1::Class1 {
public:
int f1(int i);
};
//VisualAssist1.cpp
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "VisualAssist1.h"
using VisualAssist1::Test1::Class1;
int Class1::f1(int i) {
return 0;
}
If I position cursor in header file "f1" function and pres Alt+G, or select menu VAssistX->Goto Implementation, nothing happens.
It works from .cpp file to .h file.
If I change .cpp file and remove using "VisualAssist1::Test1::Class1;"
and add namespace name in front of method, "Goto implementation works"
(modified)
//VisualAssist1.cpp
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "VisualAssist1.h"
int VisualAssist1::Test1::Class1::f1(int i) {
return 0;
}
Goto implementation does not work in Visual studio too.
Workaround is to remove using statement but it gives long names for functions.
If I break line into two parts I get it working but I have to change all our source files.
//If using removed it works
int VisualAssist1::Test1:://split line
Class1::f1(int i) {
return 0;
}
I uses latest version of demo software (downloaded today) and Visual Studio 2003

a combination of alt-g to get you to the header, and then alt-o and alt-m to find the function is not an ideal work around, but it is worth considering if you find the IDE's goto overly slow, or it ever fails. |

>look up a function that you are calling?
This also does not work.
VAssist::Test1::Class1* c1 = new VAssist::Test1::Class1();
int i = 0;
c1->f1(i, &i);
If I move cursor between "f" and "1" (c1->f1), and press Alt+G it jumps to declaration (.h file). If I select menu command VAssistX->Goto Implementation, nothing happens.
It works from .cpp file to .h but not vice versa.
Workarround is to use VS (right click function and select: Go To Definition, Go To Declaration. Both works)
Alt+O is very useful feature I discovered at begining. I did not know about Alt-M. It is very handy.

i am seeing the same thing. thank you for the clear example. to help me picture the extent of the problem is this only happening when you want to swap between a header and a cpp file? or are other alt-g movements also failing? e.g. to look up a function that you are calling?
are you aware of alt-o to swap between a header and a cpp file? you can also use alt-m once in a file to get a drop down list of the functions in that file. type once this list is shown to filter it down to just the item you want.
i have been able to produce the same bug with an even simpler example, which should help.
