[br]Hi, I wonder if VA could be better to parse function prototype and declaration when they are decorated using macros.

For example we have something like this:

[code]
// .h
DNA_METHOD(DNAPtr<IHasNamePredicate>, CreateHasNamePredicate)(const String &in_Name);
// .cpp
DNA_METHOD_IMP(DNAPtr<IHasNamePredicate>) CDataModelMgr::CreateHasNamePredicate(const String &in_Name)
{
// [...]
}
// Macros definitions
#define DNA_FUNCTION(ReturnType, MethodName) ReturnType DNA_CALL MethodName
#define DNA_METHOD(ReturnType, MethodName)	virtual DNA_FUNCTION( ReturnType, MethodName )
[/code]

But VA failed to parse these correctly, as an example when I type in a method and ask for parameter info I get something like this (showing the wrong parameter (return value)

Also in the .h, I can't go to the declaration from a prototype (it fails to find it in the .cpp). I also get other issues regarding this.

feline	Posted - Jan 27 2012 : 3:05:31 PM I am having some difficulty working out what is going on in your code, given the information you have posted here. The macros reference a macro you have not posted, and I am not sure quite what is happening. I have reproduced the parameter info tooltip bold problem with the following simplified code sample: With this in the header file: #define DNA_METHOD_IMP(Return_Type) Return_Type class testMacroReturnFunc { public: DNA_METHOD_IMP(void) classMemberFuncMacroReturn(const int &in_AppVar, const int &in_Value); }; and this in the cpp file: DNA_METHOD_IMP(void) testMacroReturnFunc::classMemberFuncMacroReturn( const int &in_AppVar, const int &in_Value ) { } static void testGeneralCode() { testMacroReturnFunc classMacroReturn; // bug - parameter info tooltip shows the return type // in bold for the first parameter, and nothing in bold // for the second parameter classMacroReturn.classMemberFuncMacroReturn(2, 3); } I am seeing the problem, and I have put in a bug report for this: case=64310 Can you help me extend my simple example to reproduce the problems you are seeing with alt-g? My initial attempt is, in the header file: // Macros definitions #define DNA_METHOD_IMP(Return_Type) Return_Type #define DNA_CALL #define DNA_FUNCTION(ReturnType, MethodName) ReturnType DNA_CALL MethodName #define DNA_METHOD(ReturnType, MethodName) virtual DNA_FUNCTION( ReturnType, MethodName ) class testMacroReturnFunc { public: DNA_METHOD_IMP(void) classMemberFuncMacroReturn(const int &in_AppVar, const int &in_Value); // alt-g on the function works fine here DNA_METHOD(void, classMethodViaMacro)(const int &in_counter); }; and in the matching cpp file: DNA_METHOD_IMP(void) testMacroReturnFunc::classMemberFuncMacroReturn( const int &in_AppVar, const int &in_Value ) { } // alt-g on the function works fine here DNA_METHOD_IMP(void) testMacroReturnFunc::classMethodViaMacro(const int &in_counter) { } static void testGeneralCode() { testMacroReturnFunc classMacroReturn; // bug - parameter info tooltip shows the return type // in bold for the first parameter, and nothing in bold // for the second parameter classMacroReturn.classMemberFuncMacroReturn(2, 3); // alt-g on the function works fine here classMacroReturn.classMethodViaMacro(2); } using VS2005 and VA 1862.
