kevin.kostrzewa	Posted - Oct 18 2012 : 08:37:04 AM When you surround a block of code by #if 0...#endif, you should make sure there's a newline inserted after the #endif if there's not already. A programmer on my team used that VAssistX function and didn't have the end of the selection on the start of a line, so there was code to the right of the #endif, which the compiler ignored. ex: old code ... else if (foo()) bar(); else baz(); after modification, where selection was before the "else if" and on a space to the left of the "else" ... #if 0 else if (foo()) bar(); #endif else baz(); Now baz() was executing unconditionally because the preprocessor skips the else. Of course, we caught this quickly, but it'd be nice to have VAssistX better understand intent.

feline	Posted - Oct 18 2012 : 5:31:16 PM If you look in the VA Snippet editor, what do you have set for the "#if" C++ snippet? The default snippet text is: #ifdef $condition=_DEBUG$$end$ $selected$ #endif // $condition$ which has a blank line at the end, and this snippet is used when you select a block of code and press # to surround it with #if #endif. Due to this blank line at the end, the default snippet already does this. If your snippet has a blank line at the end, but you are still seeing this problem, how are you triggering this problem, and which programming language are you working in?
