There is a bug that crept into VA a very long time ago (VA6 or so, still was OK in VA4), and still hasn't been resolved. VERY annoying.
String symbols are not displayed correctly in the definition bar when standing on them in the code (i.e. when text cursor is inside them).
This goes for #define's, consts, etc.
Best to explain by example (L = actual line of code, D = what definition bar shows when the focus is on the symbol).
L:
static const char* XML_CONST_DATA = "<Const>%s</Const>" XML_EOL;
D:
static const char* XML_CONST_DATA = XML_EOL
L:
static const Wchar* XML_LANGUAGE_DATA_OPEN_U = STR_U("<lang>");
D:
static const Wchar* XML_LANGUAGE_DATA_OPEN_U = STR_U()
L:
#define XML_EOL "EOL"
D:
#define XML_EOL ""
It seems like the string content is omitted in the definition bar, sometimes with quotation mark, sometimes without.
Me and my collegues have been waiting for many years for this bug to be fixed in this otherwise wonderful product, to no avail.
Now is as good a time as any.
Thanks a lot! |

We have increased the priority of this bug, it should be fixed soon, maybe in next build. |

Any estimate on a fix for this? It has been around for over four and a half years and it seems plenty of people are irritated by it:
http://forum.wholetomato.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4574 (same case, 1131)
http://forum.wholetomato.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4414 (case 1016)
I see a couple of suspicious fixes that seem to have gone in shortly before these error reports popped up. Unfortunately I can't try the builds from back than because they don't work with VS 2008.
http://forum.wholetomato.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4466 (case 923)
http://forum.wholetomato.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4186 (case 930)
I understand you must have plenty else to work on, but where I work, the "used to work" variety of bug has a special priority. I hope we don't have to wait another four years for this to be addressed.
Thanks for an otherwise great utility!
