Hi!
I found a strange corruption of the symbol database.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a simple project with only one cpp file, and only this contect:
void qqqq() {}
void QQQQ() {}
int main()
{
return 0;
}
2. In main before return create a syntax error like this:
xxx
return 0;
3. Minimize Visual Studio, or switch to another application, or just press reparse file.
4. Delete the xxx line, so you have a correct code again
5. Rename the qqqq() function to xxxx() manually
6. swtich to another application os minimize visual studio again, or just reparse the file
7. go back to main() and try to enter a function name:
xx<complete-word>
or
qq<complete-word>
The result is the xxxx() is not in the list while qqqq is still in there.
Even if I restart the ide qqqq() remains among the completion suggestions. The strange thing is that find symbol show the correct results, and suggestion listbox (the one with the ?) shows the correct symbols.
I have to rebuild symbol database, to make it working correctly again.
These steps are common during programing, if you use a browser to check something on the msdn while you left incorrect code in the editor.
I have VS2005 and version 1540 |

using VS2005 and VA 1541 I cannot reproduce these problems.
Sometimes VA takes a while to forget about symbols that have been renamed or deleted. |

I was able to reproduce it with 1541 too.
Turn off the suggestion listboxes, and use completeword manualy. Suggestion listboxes are correct.
How long does it take to forget about symbols? Reparse file, and even a restart of the IDE doesn't help here.
Does Completion Listbox and FindSymbol use the same source for symbols?

I have tried turning off suggestion listboxes, but xxxx() is still in my completion listbox, produced via CTRL-SPACE. I have been through these instructions 3 times in a row.
The only obvious difference is that I am reusing the same project, sometimes keeping the empty main function and sometimes deleting all code in the cpp file before trying again.
Can you please go to:
VA Options -> About -> Copy Info
and paste the details (from the clipboard) into this thread. This will give us the basic information about your setup.
Do you have any other plugin's installed? |

Strange. I can repoduce it anytime. Make sure you rebuild the symbol table database before step 2.
Could it be a problem, that I don't uninstall VAX before I install the new version?

Adding in the rebuild symbol databases, along with the required IDE restart between steps 1 and 2 gets me a bit closer to what you are seeing, but only a bit.
While this is happening if I sit on a blank line, move in one tab and simply press CTRL-SPACE then I get a completion listbox listing 3 items, the 3 known functions in the file, and it is the correct 3 functions.
Typing "xx" and then using CTRL-SPACE and there is no sign of the function xxxx() in the list. However after restarting the IDE xxxx() is turning up as expected.
Are you sure restarting the IDE does not help?
Do you have any other IDE's open when you perform this test?
Do you have any other plugin's installed?
I am not seeing anything odd in your system information either. |

Sorry I was wrong. Restarting the Ide solves the xxxx() problem, but qqqq() remains in the completion list even after restart.
So if you type qq<complete-word> you'll see it.
I have only one instance of msvc running, and no other plugins.
