In our code in order to decrease executable size we have following:

#define MyInterface struct __declspec ( novtable )

then you can declare your pure virtual class (interface) as:

MyInterface IDontKnow : public IUnknown
{
    virtual void ShutUp()=0;
};

Unfortunately, this causes VA (1106 and now 1213) not to recognize IDontKnow - it underlines it as typo and refuses to Alt+G

Is it hopeless? Maybe some workaround? Any way to teach parser that 'MyInterface' is equivalent of 'struct'?

Add your #define to stdafx.h in the Misc subdirectory of the VA X installation directory. Place it in the section on macro overrides.

Press Rebuild on the Performance node of our options dialog and restart your IDE.

It worked! Thanks! This was one of major annoyances...

One thing - now when i press Alt+G on MyInterface, first file listed is the popup is "c:\\Program Files\\Visual Assist X\\Misc\\StdAfx.h". I thought this file should be excluded...

I think we'll call this a feature. VA X is telling you what it knows and from where it obtained the information.

Your #define was fairly innocuous. Another in our stdafx.h might not be so clean and the user ought to know what VA X knows.

Nonetheless, we will review our policy.

Well, i would vote for excluding this file. Reason is that i am actually interested in what is known to compiler, not VA. Putting my define in VA's stdafx.h is kind of hack... I mean, if i don't include my .H file where i actually do #define - it will not compile. Hitting Alt+G on MyInterface will direct me to VA's stdafx.h file, which is confusing. if i put that line into VA's stdafx.h myself, i know what's happening, but if i share modified file with colleagues they will have no clue. Weak-spirited may actually try to include that file...
