azur	Posted - Mar 06 2018 : 04:57:19 AM This is my code: typedef struct pair<PBYTE, unsigned char> PAIR_PBYTE_N; After converting to 'using' decleration. I got error C2906: 'std::pair<PBYTE,unsigned char>': explicit specialization requires 'template <>' How can I prevent Visual Assist to detect that the code (possible) can be converted? Can I set a hint for VA only on this line like?: typedef struct pair<PBYTE, unsigned char> PAIR_PBYTE_N; //VA.CodeInspection.Disabled

Out of interest I checked a couple of different versions of the IDE, and the typedef without "struct" compiles quite happily in VS2008, so it looks like this is the better part to focus on.
azur	Posted - Mar 06 2018 : 09:48:15 AM I found a solution for the issue. typedef struct pair<int, int> PAIR_N_N; is equitable typedef pair<int, int> PAIR_N_N; Then the converted using PAIR_N_N = pair<int, int>; works fine. I think that typedef struct pair ... was necessary with older compilers. So it woud be nice if VA can fix this during conversion.
azur	Posted - Mar 06 2018 : 09:17:13 AM I find the VA suggestions "convert typedef to using" very helpfully. So I have to live with that until you release a fix. That's not a big problem. Thank you for working on this issue, Axel
feline	Posted - Mar 06 2018 : 08:13:33 AM I am seeing the same problem here, thank you for the clear description. It looks like std::pair is something of a special case, so I have put in a bug report suggesting that we don't suggest this code inspection for std::pair types: case=114884 For now, if you turn Off VA Options -> Code Inspection (beta) -> Typedef can be converted to 'using' declaration then no typedef corrections will be suggested. A bit broader, but hopefully helpful.
