When I define several variables with constructor arguments, like:

int i1(12), i2(34), i3(123);


It colors i1 as a function, and doesn't even recognize i2 and i3 (VA underlines them in red, and no symbol information is given when you use the identifiers i2 and i3. This is the problem I'd like to see fixed, the others are just minor details :)). So the parser seems to think they are functions instead of variables. Note that this is also the case the other way around:

typedef int myfunc();
myfunc a, b, c;


Now, it thinks that a, b and c are variables, while they are in fact just normal functions. But it does recognize all the symbols though, in contrast to my earlier problem.

I'm using VAX 1440 and VC++ 2003

are the variables global? i can only reproduce this effect with global C++ variables.

case=976

the colouring is a long known effect. the basic reason is that the code that does the colouring is very fast, it has to be to keep up with scrolling the code, and as a result it can only do very basic checks to help it guess what colour to use. the variables look like functions, so they get coloured as functions. this is on the list of things to look at, but i am not sure when this will happen.

for the second effect, do you actually write code like that, or is this simply an example?

Yes they are. Didn't test local variables, but they indeed seem to work fine...

You mean the myfunc syntax? No, usually not, although I've used it once where I needed to declare a lot of different functions with the same signature (I don't think I was using VA then...). But the fact that it went wrong with variables it got me thinking, so I tried it for the functions.

Fixed in build 1524:

Global ints defined using () are no longer colored as methods. (case=976)
