Hi,
I'm using VAX 10.2.1440 on Visual Studio 6, with option "Convert dot to ->" checked.
With the following test code :
----
#include <memory>
class AClass
{
};
void f()
{
std::auto_ptr< AClass > ptrObject( new AClass );
AClass & objectRef = *ptrObject;
}
---
1/ Whenever I type "ptrObject.", within function f() visual assist does NOT convert the dot into ->.
Since ptrObject is a smart pointer, I would prefer that visual assist do the conversion.
2/ Even more annoying: whenever I type "objectRef.", visual assist converts the dot to ->, even thought objectRef is a reference !
So, in both cases Visual Assist does the opposite of what I would expect.
Are you able to reproduce these problems ?
It is possible to have this behaviour changed in a future release ?
Thanks for your time ! |

point 1, as far as i am aware VA does not try to convert . to -> after a smart pointer, however this is a sensible suggestion. it would require VA knowing that it was dealing with a smart pointer class, so i am wondering how easy / reliable this would be. i will put in a feature request, and we can see what the developers make of it.
case=999
point 2 is a known problem
case=832 |
