Hey,
After I load a solution, I can't seem to get the "[Symbols in Solution]" dropdown to display anything other than the symbols defined in stdint.h. The "Parse all files when opening a project" option (in VAssistX -> ... Options ... -> Performance) is enabled. I've also tried rebuilding the symbol database. From what I can tell, both intellisense and VA appear to be busy parsing away after I open a solution, but the dropdown content never contains more than stdint.h... It's odd too, because the context menus in the editor appear to be working fine.
Can anyone think of something else I might be able to try?
Thanks,
_matt |

What happens if you open the open files in solution dialog? (alt+shift+o) Do you see the files that are in the project?
Do you get the symbols correctly if you use the find symbol dialog? (alt+shift+s)
Is your VA X: Parsing ... disappears from your status bar after a while?
Can you please press
VA Options -> System Info -> Copy Info
and then paste the result (from the clipboard) here? This will give us the basic information about your setup.
Is this a new problem for you or is this the first project where it is happening? |

* The "Open files in solution" dialog looks to contain all of the files in my solution.
* I haven't attempted to use the "Symbols in Solution" feature until the other day, but it seems to behave this way for all working copies of my solution.
* The "Find Symbol" dialog (alt+shift+s) will only show the contents of stdint.h if the "Show only symbols defined in current solution" is checked (this is the case for all working copies of my solution). When this is unchecked, I do see relevant symbols, but they (usually) link to files located in different working copies the source tree. (Oddly, if I open up the solution in these other working copies, the "Find Symbol" dialog still wont show all of the symbols unless I uncheck the check box)
* Yes, the "VA X: Parsing..." message does disappear from the status bar after a while.

Can you please do 2 experiment to see what you get?
1. Try rebuild your symbol databases to see if this helps:
Press
VA Options -> Performance -> Clear history, cache and temporary files
and
VA Options -> Performance -> Rebuild symbol databases
buttons.
2. Can you please create a new win32 project to see if find symbol dialog works here? (with Show only symbols defined in current solution)
Something odd is going on here, I'm wondering what can it be.
Out of interest, by working copies do you mean different versions of the same solution? (i.e. trunk, branch, etc.) |

Thanks for the suggestions.
Clearing the cache and rebuilding the symbol database didn't seem to help. I also tried creating a new project, and adding some functions to it, but those symbols did not show up in the dialog either (not even stdint.h). I sure must have done something egregious to my environment...
Yes, by "working copy" I mean different versions (branches) of the same solution.

| Update: If I compile certain files, occasionally symbols will be added to the symbol list, although the symbols that are added (interestingly) are not those that are actually defined in the file being compiled. |

If you can reproduce this in a clean new project than maybe your settings are causing this. Can you please export and send your Visual Assist and Visual Studio settings?
VA Options -> Performance -> Export Settings
IDE tools menu -> Import and Export Settings -> Export selected environment settings
so I can import them here to see if I can reproduce your problem here.
Please use the form:
http://www.wholetomato.com/support/contact.asp
to send the files and include the URL of this thread in the description field so we can match it up.
Just in case these won't help, can you please
1. trigger a symbol rebuild
2. close VS
3. set this registry setting to 1: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Whole Tomato\\Logging
4. open VS
5. open your clean test project (or create a new one)
6. when VA finished parsing open the find symbol dialog
7. close VS
8. The location of the log files is described here: http://docs.wholetomato.com?W305
(We use the registry setting instead of the logging option in VA options dialog because exiting VS after triggering the rebuild would clear this setting)
9. send us the files VIA the same form.
These may help us to diagnose the problem. |

My visual studio configuration had "$(SolutionDir)" listed along with the system include directories. Removing that and re-building the symbol database seemed to clear everything up.
-----
"Thanks for sending the logs. I note that the system include directories have been modified to point into the directories of your test solution. How is that happening? Do you manually modify the system include directories when you open a solution or does something do this automatically when you load a solution? In any case, this is most likely the source of the problems you are experiencing with VA. If having the solution directories be listed in your system include list is required, then you can point VA to an independent list via the Projects | C/C++ Directories page of the VA Options dialog. Change the Platform to Custom (from Win32) and then list only the standard included directories (removing solution directories from the list)." |
