So I decided to try out Visual Assist few days ago.
I noticed that in C++, Visual Assist's intellisense stopped working on return result of template function that's being put into a "auto".

I am using Visual Assist 10.9.2291.5 built 2018.10.02 and visual studio 2017 EN 15.9.2.

This problem only happens with Visual Assist's intellisense as going to option and switching back to default visual studio intellisense solves this issue.

Here is the code




struct Test
{
int a, b;
};

struct FuncTest
{
template <typename T>
Test TemplateReturnStuff()
{
return Test{ 1, 2 };
}

Test NormalReturnStuff()
{
return Test{ 1, 2 };
}
};

int main()
{
// C/C++ source content is from Visual Assist
FuncTest ft;
ft.NormalReturnStuff().a; // Intellisense Working
ft.TemplateReturnStuff<int>().a; // Intellisense Working

auto n_auto_test = ft.NormalReturnStuff();
n_auto_test.a; // Intellisense Working

auto t_auto_test = ft.TemplateReturnStuff<int>();
t_auto_test.a; // Intellisense Not Working Here!!!

return 0;
}




When the result of ft.TemplateReturnStuff<int>() is put into an auto variable VAX's intellisense stopped working while default visual studio intellisense worked just fine.

Thank you for the very clear bug report, and I am a little surprised that we are not following this code correctly. I have never seen exactly this situation come up before, so I have put in a bug report for this:

case=132516

For now setting the source of default intellisense to the IDE is the best solution I can offer you. Hopefully apart from this Visual Assist is making a good impression on you, and being useful.
