I get spelling errors on things that cannot possibly be spelling errors, like the this pointer. Here is an example of a local variable declaration generating a spelling error. (I also get a lot of incorrect spelling errors on class member functions - it's as if VA "forgets" things)
bool FeederBlock::DoCompCalcs() {
Stream* own = dynamic_cast<Stream*>(owner());
own is marked as a spelling error
VA_X.dll file version 10.3.1555.0 built 2007.04.26

Can you try changing the colour for:
VA Options -> Advanced -> Correction -> underline mistyped symbols using
just to make sure that this is VA, and that VA thinks this is a mistyped symbol.
If you create a new cpp file, no need to save it, and copy / paste just this bit of code into it do you still see this underlining? I am wondering if something further up the same file is confusing VA. |

I've managed to reproduce the behavior on a smaller project. Could you provide me with an upload address?

I have the files, thank you for this. So far I cannot reproduce the problem. I tried adding the blank line, as yo described, but nothing happened, so I added a pair of invalid variables, as shown:
The code compiles, but does not run for me, it fails on an assert, so I am not missing any include files.
How easily can you reproduce this problem? I am wondering if there is something I need to do that I have not done. |

It's a Heisenbug - trying to observe the state of the system disturbs the system.
I loaded the project, did what I described previously, and nothing happened. So I made some other changes, and then backed the changes out using Ctrl-Z. At some point, the spelling errors were back (even with the file reverted to the saved state). I closed the IDE, started it up again, hit enter as I described, and the spelling errors were back.
I'd also really like an ironclad way of reproducing the bug - but it does seem very path dependent. As I stated previously - it's as if VA at some point forgets or gets confused. The strange part is that if I click on the symbol which is underlined, VA can show me the definition in the status bar. |

*sigh* I saw something similar here during my testing. Briefly the variables were underlined on the line you mentioned, but then the underlining disappeared, never to reappear.
I have just had another go at this, editing the file a bit, adding and removing invalid variables, undoing my edits with Alt-Backspace, compiling, but these variables are not being underlined as mistyped.
Any clues you can pin down, from encountering this problem as you work, would be gratefully received. |
