Hi,

I use a set of macros to define the signature and test functions and VAX seems to get confused by these macros and underlines with red all variables in the code making my life a total misery...

If I expand the macro myself then VAX seems to be having no trouble that's what makes me think it is the macro that is to blame (and not for example the __try{}/__except().

Below is the code for your quick reference!
Thanks!
Dimitris Staikos

------------------------------------------

#define WCI_API extern "C"
#define WCI_TEST_API WCI_API
#define API_TEST_FUNC_NAME(apifunc) Validate_##apifunc
#define API_TEST_FUNC(apifunc) WCI_TEST_API BOOL WINAPI API_TEST_FUNC_NAME(apifunc)(void)

API_TEST_FUNC(TestVAX)
{
__try
{
ULONG TestValue = 9;
return (TestValue != 0);
}
__except(GetExceptionCode() == STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION ? EXCEPTION_EXECUTE_HANDLER : EXCEPTION_CONTINUE_SEARCH)
{
return FALSE;
}
}

extern "C" BOOL WINAPI Validate_TestVAX2(void)
{
__try
{
ULONG TestValue = 9;
return (TestValue != 0);
}
__except(GetExceptionCode() == STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION ? EXCEPTION_EXECUTE_HANDLER : EXCEPTION_CONTINUE_SEARCH)
{
return FALSE;
}
}

When all else fails try common sense.

Recursive macro parsing is turned off by default. Can you please try turning it on to see if it helps?

Thanks, it works fine!

Although it looks strange to me that recursive macro parsing is OFF by default, you probably have some reason for it (most likely backwards compatibility of some sort).
However, I don't see why such an option is not available in the UI of VAX and I have to crawl in the dungeons of the registry :-P

Keep up the good work!
