znakeeye	Posted - Jul 23 2008 : 06:17:52 AM I have this: sprintf(buf, "%d", myInt); And want to change it into this: sprintf_s(buf, _countof(buf), "%d", myInt); When I have typed "_countof(buf)" I get "_countof(buf))" Very annoying!

znakeeye	Posted - Jul 31 2008 : 04:03:39 AM I keep expressing myself as a monkey. Sorry :P The parenthesis appears when I explicitly type '('. Hence, the <enter> key is not the problem! "buf" is in Clipboard _cou<enter> --> _countof ( --> _countof(\|) <ctrl+v> --> _countof(buf) ) --> _countof(buf)) NOTE: This seems to only happen when inside another function: sprintf(buf, \| "%d", myInt); // Do the above at the cursor!
accord	Posted - Jul 30 2008 : 4:47:28 PM What is _countof in your source? For me this is a define. #define _countof(_Array) sizeof(*__countof_helper(_Array)) This is code from the definition field. So when I type _cou<enter> I get _countof\| This is because parenthesis appears for functions, but not for defines. If you type #define SOMEDEF void Test() { SOMED<enter> } You should get SOMEDEF\| without parenthesis. Can you please try this out?
znakeeye	Posted - Jul 30 2008 : 06:39:07 AM Sorry, my mistake. The exact way to reproduce this is (VAX 1646, VS 2008): int myInt; char buf[100]; sprintf_s(buf, \| "%d", myInt); Now copy 'buf' to the Clipboard and then type: _cou<enter>(<ctrl+v>) You get: 1: _countof(\|) <--- enter-completion 2: _countof(buf) <--- pasting 'buf' 3: _countof(buf)) <--- typing ')' Hope that helps!
accord	Posted - Jul 28 2008 : 5:44:35 PM Most strange: when I type _cou<enter> then I get _countof\| instead of _countof(\|) where \| is the caret. Do you see the second one? Can you reproduce this in a new default test project?
znakeeye	Posted - Jul 28 2008 : 06:13:29 AM Tried it in VAX 1646. VS 2008. I can reproduce it like so: I believe Ctrl+V (I copied 'buf') is what's causing it! _cou<enter><ctrl+v>) --> _countof(buf))
feline	Posted - Jul 24 2008 : 12:45:25 PM Which IDE and version of VA are you using? If you delete the "_countof(buf)" and retype it do you see the same problem? So far I cannot reproduce this problem.
