Suppose I write the following

class MyClass { /*...*/ };
static MyClass s_Instance;

Whenever I type "s_I", VA (helpfully) suggests "s_Instance", but when I accept, it (unhelpfully) inserts "s_Instance()" and (grrrr!) it takes _3_ backspaces to remove the brackets for some reason. This has happened for some time - could do with being fixed.

copying your example in to a .h file (programming in C++) i am unable to reproduce this. i get a suggestion listbox:

and when i accept s_Instance i get s_Instance, with no brackets.

what IDE and language are you using?

do you get this problem with this actual code example? or are you using an actual class with members?

Does s_Instance exist anywhere else as a function or method?

You might try Ctrl+Z to undo the ().

You might consider disabling the "Insert ()..." option. It is not our favorite. Great idea. Impossible to get right for every case of editing.

Yikes. My toy example doesn't do what is happening in my larger codebase! I am now busy trying to work out the necessary and sufficient conditions for this to happen.

No - the 's_' is a deliberate policy to avoid that sort of clash.

C++, VS.NET Version 7.1 with Xbox extensions, VAssist X (latest).
