Hello,

I'm using this enum "expansion" http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/32000/Improving-C-Enums-Adding-Serialization-Inheritance.

With this expansion the plugin isn't working correctly (for example "go to" and re-naming aren't possbile).

Is there a way to use the expansion with your plugin?
Thank a lot.

With kind Regards
Marco

I examined the source code at the link and it's quite a complex solution with heavy use of #ifdefs, #undefs, etc. which VA don't parse completely, partly due to performance considerations. The compiler has plenty of time to resolve virtually anything, but VA has to be reasonably fast even in extremely large solutions.

Do you also have problems in other, unrelated source lines as well, where you don't use the enums? In other word, are you able to rename non-enum symbols? I'm trying to asses the scope of the problem, because this problem should not affect other source lines.

Thank a lot for your fast reply.

On other source lines I have no problems. But I'm using these defines very often and it's disappointing to rename these enumes.

The conclusion is that these enums won't work with your plugin?

I'm afraid they won't.
