I have seen problems with VAX for some time if I use macros within declarations (tested with VC6 SP5 and VAX 1649 / 1711).
In the application I am working on macros like S_TEXTVAX_2 are used frequently and I am so dependent on VAX that I would like to see it working for this macros too
.
I have produced some test code to find out where the problem could be but have not found anything conclusive.
All macros except for S_VAXTEST_2 are just attempts to see whether VAX can handle them or not.
VAX is not recognizing the variables aObjects4/6 at all (fine for me).
The VAX intellisense gives the following results if I place the caret after the closing square bracket for the following variables:
aObjects1[j] S_VaxObject& operator [] (size_t)
aObjects2[j] T& operator [] (size_t)
aObjects3[j] T& operator [] (size_t)
aObjects5[j] S_TESTVAX_5(aObjects5)
The intellisense for the .cStr() is working for aObjects1 and aObjects5 and shows me "const char *cStr() const". Intellisense for .cStr() is not working for aObjects2 and aObjects3.
The get() method shows the same problems as the operator [].
I hope that my posting is not too confusing.
Cheers,
Jochen.
