Visual Assist X doesn't recognize C++11's new enum syntax if you specify an underlying type but do not specify a strong type name. In other words, a weakly-typed enum with an underlying type that is not necessarily "int".

This is an example snippet that Visual Assist X doesn't understand:

enum : short
{
	WHATEVER = 4,
};

As a result, using WHATEVER in later code won't get the correct coloring. "WHATEVER" will appear as a color that as far as I've seen you can't trigger any other way with VAX installed - IntelliSense recognizes this syntax correctly, and highlights it as an enum, but VAX doesn't, so IntelliSense's color choice shows through.

Additionally, Alt-G doesn't work, but IntelliSense's F12 does.

IntelliSense isn't perfect in its parsing, either. I just reported this bug in Visual Studio:
https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/814123/intellisense-does-not-parse-enums-with-decltype-in-the-underlying-type

That case is handled by VAX...if you use the "enum class" syntax, which works fine.

Has this bug been fixed? My computer's copy of the license is expired, and I was wondering whether it's worth the IT ticket to update VAX.

(Our license is current, it's just that we have to update it on each computer manually.)

No, this is still on our list of things to do unfortunately.
