When sal annotation for the return value is placed in the example like this, the function is recognized as "__out_bcount_opt(MAX_VALUE_LENGTH)", not as GetMyValue, effectively the function GetMyValue is not in a symbol list.

__out_bcount_opt(MAX_VALUE_LENGTH) LPWSTR
GetMyValue(HANDLE Handle);

Is this a bug or do I have a workaround to fix this behavior?

This has been fixed in VA 1649, which has just been released.

Hmm, when I encounter this error, it is in VA 1649.
Can you verify that this is fixed?

using VS2005 and VA 1649 I added the following code to a class in a C++ header file:

	__out_bcount_opt(MAX_VALUE_LENGTH) char *GetMyValue(int Handle)		{ return NULL; }


This is not quite the same as yours, I made a couple of changes to get it to compile in my test project. When I call this function in the matching cpp file this is what I am seeing:



Do you have:

VA Options -> Advanced -> Display -> Enable automatic Quick Info ToolTips

turned on or off? I am testing with this turned On.
