With the following in a header file:


typedef struct
{
	struct
	{
		int should_not_see_me;
	} should_see_me;
	int should_see_me2;
} mytype;


You would expect that "should_not_see_me" would only be visible inside the "should_see_me" structure.

With the following code:


mytype a;

a.


You would expect VAX to show 'should_see_me' & 'should_see_me2', but it shows all members of 'should_see_me also', which is confusing, as they are local to 'should_see_me', and thus not accessible directly from 'a':



VAX shows a padlock on the inaccessible members, so I can only assume that VAX recognises this, but decides to show it anyway? Is this due to misconfiguration at my end?

interesting effect. i would definitely say this was a bug.

case=730

if you enable:
VA Options -> text editor -> listboxes -> get content from default intellisense
then you get the correct items in the listbox. however you may find that you prefer to leave this turned off.
