Hi,
I found that Visual Assist has problems with autocompleting fields of a struct if it contains bit fields. In my case it autocompletes only the fields that are set as bitfields and misses every other field in a struct.
Here's an example:
struct FJournalSection
{
uint32 Magic;
uint32 Version : 30;
uint32 Priority : 2;
uint32 Hash;
uint32 Offset;
uint32 Size;
};
FJournalSection FirstSection = ReadSection();
int32 SectionSize = FirstSection.Size;
At the time when I type in "FirstSection." I would expect VAX to show me all the fields from the FJournalSection, but instead it shows only Version and Priority. If I set Hash to be a bit field as well then it shows the three bit fields: Version, Priority and Hash.
However it doesn't have problems navigating to fields that are not bit-fields.
For what it's worth this is an Unreal Engine project solution.
My version is 10.9.2537.0 built 2024.10.27
