Hi,
I get wrong coloring when using macros, like in the following example:

#include "stdafx.h"

class MyClass
{
	void  MyFunction() {};
};

#define MMM  MyClass

void  TestFunction()
{
	MyClass  mc1;
	mc1.MyFunction();
	MMM  mc2;
	mc2.MyFunction();
}

mc1 gets proper coloring for "variables" (I set it green for this sample).
mc2 should also get this coloring but remains black.

I rebuilt symbol database, cleared cache and restarted IDE.

Regards,
Leto

I wasn't able to reproduce your problem here using VS2005 and VAX1649. Can you please try to paste your example into a new win32 test project to see if the coloring working here? I guess you have something in the surrounding source that cause this effect.

Hi,

The example I sent was already on a brand new win32 project.
But I found the problem:
Due to issues on parsing macros that called macros, I followed the instructions given in FAQ http://docs.wholetomato.com?W363 and it was the cause of the problem. As soon as I resumed registry to default values (removed LimitMacro and LimitMacroParsing=01), I got proper syntax coloring.

It does not matter anyway, since VA was not able to parse some of my macros (which called macros) with or without the LimitMacro trick. I will send you an example of these macros when I am able to reproduce similar ones (independent of my code) on a simple project.

Regards,
Leto
