Hi,
I noticed the following problem in the last 3 releases (1731, 1727 and whatever I used before).
Entering a new method in a class will auto complete after typing the methodname and the () often with the first word in the line.
Example:
class ABC {
public:
ABC(); // auto-completes to ABC(ABC) after pressing the )
void test(); // auto-completes to void test(void)
void irgendwas();
int afsdjasidfjae(irgendwas); // the irgendwas here is auto-completed
};
The option "Any character not valid in a symbol" is turned on (and of course, if I turned it off it works). So the murks is, that even I did not start a symbol (I just entered the first bracket), he tries to give some suggestions and the next letter will terminate the non existent symbol.
I would suggest, that the option "Any character not valid in a symbol" should be valid only if I started to enter a symbol.

Does it mean that when you typed ABC( you got "ABC" as a suggestion? Or when you typed void test( you got "void" as a suggestion?
If yes, 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
because I wasn't able to reproduce the effect here. Please submit the files via the form:

including this thread ID or URL in the description, so we can match it up. |

Yes, I meant exactly that. If I start a new project, it is not directly, that I get ABC(ABC) or void test(void). It takes some (small) time until suggestions popup at all. And then the behaviour is there.
I just tested it with 1727 on a Windows 7 RC, VS 2008 (which is not used for C++ developing) and the behaviour was similiar (instead of void, VAX completed virtual which does not make any sense).
I submitted for this (since I am not at the customers site where I have my usual VAX installed) the settings.
To reproduce it, I did the following:
0. Installed VAX 1727 first time, set everything to max and selected "Any character not valid in a symbol".
1. Create new C++ Project Win32 Application (nothing changed in the wizard, just press finish)
2. Above int _tmain, I inserted a class and some method. I had to save once and wait a little moment and the I get these suggestions and the auto-completion.
BTW, if I enter 'void method(', VAX will complete the ')'. Since I have to type the ';' by hand, I enter the ')' by myself (overwriting the auto-inserted ')'. Upon the pressing the ')' the auto-completion will happen. |

Strange auto-completion
