There are many functions in #include <windows.h> that have definitions this:
Would it be possible to add a new VAssistX.GotoImplementation2 command, which will navigate ahead and also bring up the targets referred to by the token on simple #define lines like these?

| Have you tried Alt-Shift-G for Goto Related? The related types menu should help here. |

In VA_X.dll file version 10.9.2522.0 built 2024.05.31, this is what I see with Alt-Shift-G:
And when I press enter on Declarations, I see this:
Navigating from one of those choices takes us to those line numbers in that file.

It was worth a try. The idea of using Goto Related here makes sense, so I have put in a feature request to jump to what the macro expands to:
case=164788
that works well enough here, with these simple one line macros, but when you are dealing with more complex macros, I am not sure how well the idea will scale, or work. |

I would add logic so if it's more than [#][define][whitespace][alpha/alphanumeric][whitespace][alpha/alphanumeric] then don't expand it, but for straight-forward name expansion to the W and A, which we see everywhere, it would be useful.
If you want to get fancier, look for any alpha/alphanumeric tokens after [#][define][whitespace][alpha/alphanumeric][whitespace] and do a lookup on all of them and see if anything comes through.
Can we expect this in the 2024.08.31 build?? :-)

I suspect only having one extra symbol in the macro will be a good rule to try, but that's just a guess at this stage.
You can expect away, but I do suspect you will be disappointed in this expectation  |

On the plus side, we have just released a new version. So you can keep on expecting and hoping, so long as you don't actually install VA 2530 and check  |

I just had a TIFF library I was compiling, and I noticed this on one of the Alt+G lookups:
Wouldn't it be oh so very lovely and helpful if it continued down with two more entries showing the targets of the #define?

| I have added the picture, as a useful example, to the case. It is something we are considering, but no estimate on when this might be looked at yet. |
