Avi Bueno	Posted - Jul 06 2007 : 05:55:45 AM Hi, VA doesn't parse identifiers inside a namespace of a class package I wrote. I couldn't reproduce it in a small example, but I found that the same behavior happens when using Kevis Van Horn's smart_ptr class (excellent implementation, btw). You can get the code here: http://web.archive.org/web/20000823030637/www.xmission.com/~ksvhsoft/code/smart_ptrs.html For the following: -- class Base {}; typedef ksvh::smart_ptr<Base>::spnwm BaseSP; ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ -- I get a red underline under smart_ptr and spnwm. Help anyone?

Avi Bueno	Posted - Jul 09 2007 : 09:56:24 AM Thanks for the fix. Alas, I was trying to demonstrate the problem that I have in my code and thought it's the same problem.. Knowing that it isn't, I found the source for the problem. Review the following code sample: -- #define TEST_PROJECT_HAS_A_CPP_NAMESPACE #ifdef TEST_PROJECT_HAS_A_CPP_NAMESPACE #define TEST_PROJECT_NAMESPACE TestProject #define TEST_PROJECT_NAMESPACE_BEGIN namespace TEST_PROJECT_NAMESPACE { #define TEST_PROJECT_NAMESPACE_END } #define TEST_PROJECT_NAMESPACE_USE using namespace TEST_PROJECT_NAMESPACE #else #define TEST_PROJECT_NAMESPACE #define TEST_PROJECT_NAMESPACE_BEGIN #define TEST_PROJECT_NAMESPACE_END #define TEST_PROJECT_NAMESPACE_USE #endif TEST_PROJECT_NAMESPACE_BEGIN class Test { public: void f() {} }; TEST_PROJECT_NAMESPACE_END void main() { TestProject::Test* pTest; ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ } -- This tecnique for enabling/disabling namespaces is used in the xerces XML library. You can see the problem in the main() function.. Is there any workaround for this one? Thanks.
feline	Posted - Jul 07 2007 : 2:33:10 PM I have downloaded the smart pointer code files and I am seeing the same problem. It took a little while to figure out why, but I did in the end. The problem is the comment blocks at the top of the files, e.g. #if 0 Copyright (C) 1997 by Kevin S. Van Horn. You may freely use and modify this software, subject to the following restrictions: (1) This copyright notice must remain in the source, unchanged. (2) You are NOT allowed to redistribute this software in any form. The current version of this software may be obtained at http://www.xmission.com/~ksvhsoft/ by following the software components link. NOTE: This software is provided without warranty of any kind. #endif This is wrapped ONLY in #if 0, #endif, there is nothing here to tell us this is a comment. VA's parser is not a compiler, instead it is designed to help you, including with code that is blocked out like this, so it parses the comment as code, and this breaks the following namesapces. A better example of why VA parses this code is this case: #ifdef LINUX // code here I want VA to parse and help me with #endif change the comment block into a real comment and the problem goes away.

Avi Bueno	Posted - Jul 06 2007 : 06:01:35 AM I think this forum also has a parsing problem.. probably because there's a www inside the hyperlink I added.. Please Copy & Paste the full URL, I can't get it to show properly here.. The URL is: http:// web.archive.org/web/20000823030637/www.xmission.com/~ksvhsoft/code/smart_ptrs.html
