tjcbs	Posted - Jul 09 2015 : 04:07:09 AM I wrote a macro I use to perform an action every given time interval: #define DO_ONLY_EVERY_SEC(every_sec) DO_ONLY_EVERY_SEC_LBL(every_sec, def) #define DO_ONLY_EVERY_SEC_LBL(every_sec, lbl) \ static float nextT##lbl = 0.f; \ bool _bDo##lbl = (GetCurrentTime() > nextT##lbl); \ if (_bDo##lbl) \ nextT##lbl = GetCurrentTime() + every_sec; \ if (_bDo##lbl) This doesn't work well with VA; variables introduced inside the scope of the macro aren't recognized, and are often underlined. For instance, DO_ONLY_EVERY_SEC(1.f) { static int test = 0; tes } Generates no suggestion box. If I comment out the DO_ONLY_EVERY_SEC(1.f) then "test" is suggested when I type "t" or "te". vs2013, VA 10.9.2068.0

accord	Posted - Jul 22 2015 : 6:28:00 PM I have investigated this and I was able to reproduce the problem here: case=90999 Also, I have found an another workaround for this. I you use "No" for LimitMacro insead of "NoDepthLimit" (as described at the below link) the suggestion listbox works for me. http://docs.wholetomato.com/default.asp?W363
tjcbs	Posted - Jul 21 2015 : 10:41:09 PM I haven't tried this yet, but is there a bug number on this? This doesn't sound like a great workaround.
accord	Posted - Jul 15 2015 : 9:13:42 PM Can you please revert your registry key settings and create a new file called va_stdafx.h next to your solution as a workaround? Please paste the following to this file: #define DO_ONLY_EVERY_SEC(every_sec) DO_ONLY_EVERY_SEC_LBL(every_sec, def) \ static float nextT##lbl = 0.f; \ bool _bDo##lbl = (GetCurrentTime() > nextT##lbl); \ if (_bDo##lbl) \ nextT##lbl = GetCurrentTime() + every_sec; \ if (_bDo##lbl) // comment to make sure there is an EOL after the last line Trigger a symbol database rebuild: VA Options -> Performance -> Rebuild
tjcbs	Posted - Jul 15 2015 : 03:55:40 AM This "fixes" it, a little. It is hard to give precise reproduction steps, but if you play with the example a little, you will see that even with the regedits it works only occasionally.
accord	Posted - Jul 10 2015 : 7:42:31 PM Can you please try whether enabling recursive macro parsing helps: http://docs.wholetomato.com/default.asp?W363
