Hi,

The Goto Implementation does not seem to like class that are declared as follows:


#define DCLASS class

DCLASS MyClass 
{
public:
    void foo(bool b);
}

main()
{
    foo( );
}

If I move the cursor to the foo() method that is in main(), the Goto Implemeebtation does not work. It just bing me to the beginning of the line.

If I replace DCLASS by 'class', then all's well. I suspect that visual assist does not handle this situation.

Regards,

Oops. Soory about the bad code. Here is a snipit that I actually tried!!!


#define DCLASS class

DCLASS MyBaseClass
{
public:
    void Test( );
};

DCLASS MyClass : public MyBaseClass
{
public:
    void foo(bool b);
};

main()
{
    MyClass a;
    a.foo(false);
    a.Test();
}

Again, if I move the cursor to the foo() method in main(), the Goto Implementation does not work. The definition list box shows 'MyClass a' instead of the function declaration. An when I execure the goto it simply brings me to the beginning of the line.

Regards,

Your observation is correct. VA X does know that a preprocessor macro resolves to a keyword.

Part of the issue is VA X trying to decide if the person reading code wants to know if something is a FOO or to what FOO resolves. Your example is quite simple so it's fair to say one should see "class." A more complicated example might leave one wanting to see "DCLASS." (Similar things apply in other definitions. Maybe "class" is an exception of some sort???)

We need to think about this one for a bit. We'll do some more testing as well.
