I am using VA 1440 (trial) with VC++ 6.

Please see this screenshot and note items marked with the red arrows:

http://www.imagedump.com/index.cgi?pick=get&tp=381412

Why am I getting a bunch of items like [functionname]-[number].[variablename] in the method list? I don't think it worked like that in 1301.

I only expected to see function names in this list. Is this a new functionality? I find it quite confusing and don't understand what it is for.

Please explain.

if you jump to one of these items, what is on the line? i have seen this problem with enum's or structures declared inside a function, and very occasionally with certain specific template code.

If I jump to one of these items the declaration of that variable is on the line. So am I supposed to see these items in the list of methods or not?

can you post a snippet of code? i never get local variables in the alt-m list. there are local variables, defined within functions, aren't they?

I can email the source file (if provided with an email address) as it is quite large and I just don't have time to localize the problem.

Should I just email it to the support?

We have your source file and can reproduce the problem. Something in your code is confusing VA X. We're looking for the culprit.

This problem started with build 1421, when we rewrote our C/C++ parser.
