Posted - Oct 21 2010 : 07:09:42 AM Hi,
it is posible to tell the parser of visual assist not to parse same part of my code for example by enclose the code in a preprocecor define?
We are using VS2008, C++ nativ. For one of our classes we have to change the declaration of the class for an other compiler(other than VS C++ compiler).
In MyVector.h we define a class
// MyVector.h template< typename Item > class Vector : public std::vector< Item > { public: Vector(); Item GetTop(); };
and in one other header file we declare
// SomeClass.h #ifdef USING_MY_COMPILER template< class ITEM > class Vector {};
namespace std { template< class ITEM > class vector {}; }; #endif
class SomeClass { ... void funktion_A(Vector<int>& rgInts); .... };
In a third file I want to use my class Vector but if I wirte the . after my variable name no members are listed.
#include "MyVector.h" // no include of "SomeClass.h"
void f() { Vector<int> rgVector; rgVector. -> no intellisense by visual assist, but by VS. }
This happend if the visual assist database knows the second defintion of Vector.
Thanks in advance.

Posted - Oct 22 2010 : 2:43:09 PM Using VA's StdAfx.h file to skip code is tricky, but I have seen it work occasionally.
AndreasS the instructions in the FAQ explain editing a user specific copy of VA's StdAfx.h. This user specific version of the file is not replaced or updated when you install a new build of VA. So it is wise to "diff" it once every few months just to make sure there are no useful updates to the default StdAfx.h file that you would be useful to merge into your file.

but if I add somethings to VA's StdAfx.h than it's overriden by the next update, is't it?

So skipping by enclosing IS possible

Posted - Oct 21 2010 : 5:24:07 PM There is one other possibility, if you add the following code to the header file:
#define VA_SKIP_START
#define VA_SKIP_END
VA_SKIP_START
// problem code
VA_SKIP_END
and add the following to VA's StdAfx.h
#define VA_SKIP_START /*
#define VA_SKIP_END */
This might work, so long as the code you are blocking out does not contain any /* */ comment blocks.

Posted - Oct 21 2010 : 1:46:17 PM Skipping by enclosing is not possible. However, I can list the possible solutions for this problem:
1. You can turn on the following option as a workaround: VA Options -> Advanced -> Listboxes -> Get content from default Intellisense
2. if this file would have a different extension, you could add it to the "extensions to ignore" list:
VA Options -> File handling -> Extensions -> Extensions to ignore
3. If you don't have too much duplice class like this, you can add them into VA's stdafx.h:
This file is parsed first and not seen by the compiler. Hopefully this will keep these symbols in the database.
4. If VA parses a class twice, it lists the members of both classes and it should not cause a problem. Something may confuse VA's parser in the second instance of the class. If you can provide us a simplified snippet where we can reproduce the problem, we will look into this.
