Hi,

If I write
class B
{
	friend class A;
};

VA handles A properly.

If I write
class A;

class B
{
	friend A;
};

which is legal C++ too, as far as I know, A is handled as an unknown variable rather than as a class, by VA.

Regards,
Leto

Why do you think that A is handled as an unknown variable?
It is underlined with red for you, or do you see/experience something else?

Hi,
Excuse me for my too short explanation. Here is a more complete example:
(Note: class A is defined in another file in my project)

if I write
class B
{
	friend class A;
	A* MyFunction();
};

A is highlighted with color defined for "class, structures and typedefs" and if I click the VA arrow above MyFunction, I get (among others) "create Implementation".


if I write

class A;

class B
{
	friend A;
	A* MyFunction();
};

A is highlighted with color defined for "Variables" and if I click the VA arrow above MyFunction, I DO NOT get "create Implementation".

Regards,
Leto
