I use VisualStudio plus VisualAssist a lot to analyze "foreign" code as well as to write code for other platform (e.g. AVR-GCC).

Within these environments the gcc compiler defines e.g. __GNUC__ automatically. So within the source code the

#ifdef __GNUC__
...
#endif

is used a lot. Because the definition is done by the compiler and nowhere in the code files, VisualAssist assumes it is not defined.

Question: how can I get such a define to the attention of VisualAssist? I tried to modify the StdAfx.h file located in the "VisusalAssistX/Misc" directory adding a "#define __GNUC__" but it does not help.

Any other idea?

Visual Assist parses both active and inactive code so you can work with them with any configuration.

If you experience grayed out code, it is done by Visual Studio and you can turn it off here:

IDE tools menu -> Options -> Text Editor -> C/C++ -> Formatting -> Colorize inactive code blocks in a different color

or you can add the define to the macros in project settings.

to set the define in the project settings solves it. Thanks a lot.

Now I can use the colorize mode as expected.
