Html is off. [quote][i]Originally posted by studoot[/i] [br]I've just upgraded to build 1532 and this very slight deficiency of VAX is still present...so, here goes: When I use the Boost.Optional template class (see [url]http://www.boost.org/libs/optional/doc/optional.html[/url]), VAX does not present me with the appropriate member suggestions when using -> to access the encapsulated type. Now, Boost.Optional uses a pointer like syntax to represent the concept of an optional value, so in some ways it's like a smart pointer type - and VAX can handle smart pointers (boost::shared_ptr, at least!). Here's an example: #include <boost/optional.hpp> struct TimeStamp { u32 seconds; u32 microseconds; }; typedef boost::optional<TimeStamp> OptTimeStamp; OptTimeStamp ot1; ot1->? Pressing Ctrl+Space here yields no suggestions, but I would expect to see 'seconds' and 'microseconds'. Now, I've had a look at the Boost.Optional code...and it's reasonably straight forward, but something's acting as a barrier between VAX and the appropriate type declaration - it might be the use of Boost template metaprogramming facilities, specifically boost::mpl::if_ that gets in the way? Anyway - I suppose this is a nice to have :-) [/quote]   Check to include your profile signature. Check to subscribe to this topic.
