Hi,

I'm using VA in different visual studio projects. In one project "Add include" inserts backslashes to separate the header file from the path. In other projects slashes are inserted. I'm not able reproduce under which conditions backslashes are inserted.

As our software is also supposed to compile with linux the usage of backslashes in include paths is simply a no-go.

I'm not sure if backslashes are allowed with C++,but it seems to be common sense that it' not (see e.g.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5790161/is-the-backslash-acceptable-in-c-and-c-include-directives ).

Is there a reason, why backslashes are inserted by VA, or is it a bug?

Thank you!
Daniel

VA uses the separator already used in the current file, it will also look for and respect the IDE setting on which separator to use. This FAQ entry explains how to tell VA to always use slash or back slash as the separator:
