I use #defines to provide easy access to systems in my engine. However, autocomplete flat out doesn't work on them. Here is an example:
template <typename T>
class Singleton
{
<snip>
static T& GetSingletonRef(Context* i_pForFutureUse) { return *s_pSingleton; }
};
class EngineManager : public Singleton<EngineManager>
{ <snip> };
#define g_EngineManager EngineManager::GetSingletonRef(0)
Doing "g_EngineManager." shows no members at all.
Doing "g_EngineManager.SomeFunction(" shows a tooltip saying "#define g_EngineManager EngineManager::GetSingletonRef(0)"
Using VAX build 1445. |

Ah that appears to be me last time as well. I forgot I already mentioned it, heh. |

This is also considered bad programming practice by most developers... you should use polymorphism for this.

unfortunately VA does not try to support this sort of thing. it is possible to do some very strange things with macro's, so it is easy to imagine just how complicated this would quickly become.
