I use VAX to do some windows and some linux development. To do the linux development I have a drive mapped to a linux computer which contains the linux c/c++ and system headers. I add this directory to my "Other Include Files" so this way VAX will parse those headers and help me out when developing on linux.
My suggestion comes in when I include STL headers such as <map> that header file in linux includes several other headers one of which actually defines std::map, the problem is linux path delimeters are / and not \\ like windows, so they include something like <bits/stl_map.h> for example. It should be a very simple fix to have your parser check any includes and convert forward slashes / to backward slashes \\, doing that should solve this problem. Other than this one small bit this really helps out doing linux dev on a windows box.

| Are you suggesting VA X "auto fix" all include statements in your project? |

i do half of my development work under UNIX, so often have
#include "dir/fred.h"
intermixed with
#include "dir\\jane.h"
in my code, and both VA and the IDE seem quite happy to find the include files and to compile the resulting code. if you open the Linux map header and use alt-g on the include lines what happens? it is possible that VA does not know how to find the files, since it has not been given the correct directories to search. |

| Ok after testing this a bit more the problem isn't the forward slashes, those are interpreted correctly without problems. Something with the directories must be screwing this up, I'll have to investigate further. |

Ok I can Alt-G on this line: #include <map> and i get to the map header file in the linux system includes dir (which I mapped and put in the custom directories in VAX). Inside that file it has the following:
#ifndef _GLIBCXX_MAP
#define _GLIBCXX_MAP 1
#pragma GCC system_header
#include <bits/stl_tree.h>
#include <bits/stl_map.h>
#include <bits/stl_multimap.h>
#ifdef _GLIBCXX_DEBUG
# include <debug/map>
#endif
#endif
For some reason if I use Alt-G on the #include <bits/stl_map.h> nothing happens... however, if I copy that line into my source it does work. Is there something in the include messing it up? |

off the top of my head, none of those lines should cause any problems. what happens if you copy all of this code into your source, and then try alt-g?
my gut instinct is to say it is something about the directory the current file is sitting in, but i cannot justify that theory. it would make sense if you had #include "file", but not for angle bracket includes. most strange. |

Well I tried pasting the whole thing into a cpp file and then trying Alt-G on the #include <bits/stl_map.h> line and it works if this line is in the cpp file.
As you said this is quite strange. The only way I can get VAX to help me out w/ any of the STL classes (when doing linux dev from windows anyway) is to directly include the header file (like: #include <bits/stl_map.h>) which seems like a bad way to solve this. |

| i am assuming you have created a project in the IDE to hold the source you are editing for linux. if not you should, so that VA knows about all of your files. the easiest solution is probably to add the STL headers to this dummy project, so that VA can find them. |
