[br]It seems that boost::optional (from Boost Libs 1.35) is not parsed correctly with build 1635. Currently I have no time to have a closer look or create some stand-alone example; please say so if you absolutely need such.

If I use something like [font=Courier New]boost::optional<SomeStruct> test[/font=Courier New], I get at least the members of boost::optional itself, but VAX doesn't recognize the wrapped type (SomeStruct) and doesn't give a member listbox etc. for dereferencing accesses on test (like test-> or test.get().). It looks like VAX can't process the reference_type-member of boost::optional<> correctly.

Interestingly I used an alias for boost::optional (via using; didn't tried it with a typedef so far) first and VAX didn't even list the members of boost::optional for instances of this alias-type. When I changed the type of the instance to boost::optional directly the members showed up and stayed correctly even when I changed the type back to the alias and made VAX reparse it (but did not clean the DB or something).

Strange things. I'll have to have a closer look at this, but maybe these hints are already enough or the problem is known already.

feline	Posted - Apr 24 2008 : 2:33:22 PM I am seeing a problem with "boost::optional", I am using the simple test code: #include <boost/optional.hpp> struct stOptionalItems { int nFruit; int nSquare; int nSphere; }; static void testOptionalItem() { boost::optional<stOptionalItems> optTest; optTest->nFruit; // "nFruit" underlined as mistyped symbol } Have you always had problems with "boost::optional", or is this a new problem? I am seeing the same underlining problem in VA 1635 and VA 1561. I am not seeing the same listbox problems as you are. Does turning on VA Options -> Advanced -> Listboxes -> Get content from default Intellisense help?
