| Some times, a structure has pointers pointing to the instances of the same sturcture, then the sturcture pointer may be colored as function. I do not think that's correct behavior. Using VS 2008, VA build 1632. |

Can you post a sample piece of code that shows the problem? Using the simple test case:
struct testStructPointsAtSelf
{
int nHeight;
int nWidth;
testStructPointsAtSelf *pSelf;
};
I am not seeing any problems.
When this happens, do you have any functions in your solution with the same name as the structure pointer? They should be listed in the Find Symbol dialog if you do. |

| And the problems just happens some times, not always, even in the same file, the member can be both correctly colored or not. |

What colours have you told VA to use?
For me classes are blue and macros are purple. But this is not the colours you have used in your example.
I have copy and pasted the code into VS2005 here, and I am not seeing any colouring problems. Everything is coloured as I would expect. |

Hi, I'm using 1635, I manually set Classes, structures' color to Teal, and Variables to Gray.
For the integer members, it works.
But for the struct pointer members, it works sometimes, does not work sometimes.
Making me more confused is that, in two adjacent lines, one line is colored correctly, but the other line is not.
Sorry for the obscure sample. I'll give out a more detailed figure.
struct AvlNode
{
int element;
AvlTree left;
AvlTree right;
int height;
};
AvlTree tree;
tree->left
tree->right
Sorry, there is not gray, i used green instead.
And, what's more, i'm using a simplified chinese system and vs2008. |

I tried you example here using VA 1635 and VS 2008, but I do not see any problems. I used this code:
/*----------------------------------------------
* The following code is in a header file.
*----------------------------------------------*/
struct AvlNode;
typedef struct AvlNode* AvlTree;
/*----------------------------------------------
* The following code is in a implementation file.
*----------------------------------------------*/
struct AvlNode
{
int element;
AvlTree left;
AvlTree right;
int height;
};
void v() {
AvlTree tree;
tree->left
tree->right
}
I believe there is something that confuse the parser of VAX, so we have to figure what the cause of the problems you are seeing.
First, can you try this in a clean new project to see if this helps? |

Sorry for no response for so long.
I've been a little bit busy these days.
I've tried your suggestion, using a new blank project and
your sample code to test.
As you said, it works perfect on your side.So it should work
on my side, but, environment varies.
I'm a dev too, and I can understand under this satuation, it very hard to locate the problem, as the test environment varies, it's nearly impossible to build a identical environment, and the cost may be too high to fix such a trivial issue.
So my suggestion is just keeping it in the known issue list and fix it when you find out the reason.
Thank you very much for you support. |

If you are seeing this problem in a test project, can you please:
Export your VA and IDE settings and send them to me:
VA Options -> Performance -> Export Settings
IDE tools menu -> Import and Export Settings -> Export selected environment settings
along with your test project.
Then I can import your settings, and open your project here, and see if I see the same problem or not.
Please submit the files via the form:
http://www.wholetomato.com/support/contact.asp
including this thread ID or URL in the description, so we can match it up. |

Done, I've send you the files required.
Actually, I've found a new issue, it marks a static fuction as variable. |

| I have the files, thank you for those. So far I cannot reproduce the problem here. The solution is using oriental characters for the folder names in Solution Explorer, so you may find that the next build of VA (after VA 1638) helps. This is currently working its way through internal testing and should be posted soon. |

It seems I've found another issue.
According to the code I supplied previously, the struct AvlNode has a member int height, and there is fuction int height(AvlTree tree);
The fuction was marked as variable. |

Another issue, it marks the c standard library fuctions malloc and free as predefined macros, I'm not sure whether it's a problems.
Anyway, it's a little bit weired here. |

"height", when the same symbol name is used both as a function and a variable name VA's colouring code can get confused. The colouring code has to run very fast in order to keep up with scrolling through code, so it is possible to confuse it when a symbol has multiple definitions.
The colour of malloc, for me this is due to the line:
#define malloc(s) _malloc_dbg(s, _NORMAL_BLOCK, __FILE__, __LINE__)
in the file
C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\\VC\\include\\crtdbg.h
line 612
which is one of the stable header files that VA parses for VS2008. There is a #define for "free" a few lines down in the same file. |

| Another problem, it marks name spaces of C# as classes/typedefs. |

| Namespaces being colored using the classes/structs/typedefs color is by design. Though the VA Options Dlg doesn't list namespaces on the color selector description, it is listed in the tooltip that appears if you hover over the text (not saying it's easy to come by, just mentioning it to back up my claim that it is by design). |

The structure members are incorrectly colored
