VA_X Version 10.1.1423.0 built 2005.09.19

Microsoft Platform SDK (Windows Server 2003 SP1) has new header annotations, replacing macros like IN, OUT, OPTIONAL.

For an example, __in_ecount_opt(nCount) in the second parameter informs that the pHandles should have [nCount] handles.

WINUSERAPI
DWORD
WINAPI
MsgWaitForMultipleObjects(
__in DWORD nCount,
__in_ecount_opt(nCount) CONST HANDLE *pHandles,
__in BOOL fWaitAll,
__in DWORD dwMilliseconds,
__in DWORD dwWakeMask);

VA_X seems to be confused with handling the above declaration.

In the following example:


MyClass::MyFunc()
{
HANDLE myHandle;
DWORD waitResult = MsgWaitForMultipleObjects(1, &myHandle, TRUE,...);
}

When I press Ctrl-Shift-Space to pop up function information, at the [n]th position of the parameter:

(1st). Fine. "DWORD nCount" is shown as bold.
(2nd). __in_ecount_opt(nCount) is shown as bold. (-->"CONST HANDLE *pHandles" should be)
(3rd). Nothing is shown as bold. (--> "BOOL fWaitAll" should be)
(4th). __in BOOL fWaitAll is bold (--> "DWORD dwMilliseconds" should be)

I have seen this also in earlier builds also.
