Testcase:
1. enter the following code into your header file:
class CFoo {
public:
virtual CFoo* Copy(const CFoo& other) const;
};
class CFooBar : public CFoo {
public:
CFooBar();
virtual CFooBar* Copy(const CFoo& other) const;
CFooBar(const CFooBar& other);
};
2. enter the following code into your implementation file (don't forget to include the above header):
CFooBar* CFooBar::Copy(const CFoo& other) const
{
CFooBar* newfoobar(NULL);
newfoobar = new CFooBar(dynamic_cast<const CFooBar&>(other)); // comment this line out to see the change
return newfoobar;
}
3. Check syntax coloring for the symbol, CFooBar. What I'm seeing is sth like this:CFooBar* CFooBar::Copy(const CFoo& other) const
{
CFooBar* newfoobar(NULL);
newfoobar = new CFooBar(dynamic_cast<const CFooBar&>(other)); // comment this line out to see the change
return newfoobar;
}
Apparently, VA still recognizes the class when used as a namespace, but not when used as a typename, or constructor name!
4. comment out the second line of the Copy function and check again - coloring is back to normal.
This code compiles well enough. Still, as long as the code contains a dynamic_cast, coloring is messed up for me!
Moreover: go to the second line in Copy, change the constructor call to newfoobar = new CFooBar((dynamic_cast<const CFooBar&>(other)).|);
and see what kind of suggestions you get - I'm seeing CFoo::Copy(...) only, not the CFooBar functions.
P.S.: I noticed that removing the const qualifier within the dynamic_cast also fixes the coloring - apparently VAX has a problem with this qualifier inside a cast.
