using VC6 and VA 1422 i added a new cpp file to an existing C++ project. i then typed the following code into the file:
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
std::string s;
s.length();
}
there were a couple of blank lines at the top of the file, but that should not matter. there was a slight delay after typing the dot, and no listbox appeared, but that was all. i pressed CTRL-SPACE and a list box instantly appeared. escape the list box and press CTRL-SPACE again, again the listbox appears just fine.
removing the function call and retyping the "s." bit for perhaps a second the caret stops flashing after typing the dot, but that is all. there is no CPU usage spike (i am running a CPU meter so i can watch for this), there is no burst of hard disk activity.
has VA finished parsing? any other plugins installed? have you tried rebuilding your symbol databases? does this happen in a new basic project? are you able to get a call stack of the hung msdev.exe?
