Hi, I've done a bit of a forum search but couldn't find anything that deals with this problem.
When using auto-complete with structures Visual Assist displays all members even if they're not accessable at that level.
This is something that Visual Assist has been doing since I started using it about four years ago. Because I work exclusively in embedded C, structures are my most valuable asset - it's the only way to create semi-OO type design.
This isn't a problem if I typedef my structs and then include the new type. That has typically been my work around in 99% of cases but in a few scenarios where a structure is only used locally, typedef'ing is just overkill to avoid this problem.
Is this a bug or a configuration option I haven't found?
Thanks
Darcy
static struct
{
uint32_t var_general_1;
uint32_t var_general_2;
struct
{
uint8_t var_setup_1;
uint8_t var_setup_2;
uint8_t var_setup_3;
} setup_vars;
struct
{
bool var_req_1;
uint8_t var_req_2;
} request;
} my_struct;

| This issue should have biggest priority, because it is confusing all C++ programmers from beginnings of VA.. As you know C++ programmers are very versatile and proud, so nobody wanted to say, it an BUG because issue is not replicable with simple structs, but only with those nested... |

Ditto, thanks very much. When working on embedded projects in C, structures are as important to me as classes... You can go a long way towards OO type development with the use of structs.
Awesome, thanks. |

Hi guys,
Has this issue been resolved? I find myself changing the method I use to build control structures just to avoid this problem. It would be helpful to know if this had been fixed.
Thanks |

Unfortunately this has not yet been fixed. It is down as an urgent bug, and hopefully it will be fixed soon, but I don't currently have any estimate on when it will be done.
This thread should be updated when this has been fixed. |

Over enthusiastic autocompletion of struct members
