When writing something in the lines of

template <class Socket>
class Sink
{
// here, when trying to type 'Socket',
// VAX suggests anything but 'Socket',
// usually even replacing anything you type.
};

This would be a very welcome bugfix for library writers, methinks.

Interesting, and a little unexpected. I normally just use T for my parameter when writing a template class, so never noticed:

case=8462

Using your example code VA shows "Socket" in italics for me, so this is a known symbol from elsewhere, which might explain the odd results you are seeing. If you go with a more unusual parameter name then the problem of the text being replaced should go away.

yeah, or just press Esc before going onward. :)

However, I still press on that it would be nice for VA to be able to complete template parameters..


template <class SomethingNotExistingAnywhere>
class Tester
{
public:
Tester();
~Tester();
protected:
typedef SomethingNotExi doesn't want to auto-complete here ;_;
private:
};
