Was it ever different? We have a lot of more or less complicated macros in our project and most of them looks this way.

I would guess that if the macro parameter is a name of a local/global variable somewhere it is bold/normal or otherwise even "not enhanced" like args.

Happens in both VC6 and VC2005.

mmb's observation is correct.

VA X makes some reasonable guesses while coloring preprocessor macros. The only other option is to not color them at all.

Ok.. not using macros that much I prefer templates when possible:)
Anyways, why is name colored twice as variable and one time as type?

If you disable VA, you get



Still weird, even without VA (notice the first "#" in the stringify operator).

vs2003 vax disabled:


vs2003 w/ my beloved vax build 1301:)

here vax colors name as variable b/c it finds: wxThemeInfo.name | wxString name
and args is colored b/c of: System.Runtime.Remoting.Messaging.MethodCall.args | System.Object[] args : System.Object[] args

but at least it's consistent! 1301 parser still outperforms any later builds for c++.

maybe, but as someone who spends quite a lot of time reproducing bugs in VA i can assure you 1301 had its share of problems :)

i still remember the regular posts about poor template support from the parser.

still, to put things in perspective, try using a machine that does not have VA installed *shudder* now that is an unpleasant experience!

From my expierince 1301 does a much better job when it comes to templates and smartptr and I use those extensively.
