Hello U++,

I noticed that Assist++ fail to parse some struct. Lets take a look at thoses 4 structs def:

test.h:

#ifndef _test_assist_test_h_
#define _test_assist_test_h_

typedef struct StructToResolve {
    uint32_t           engineVersion;
    uint32_t           apiVersion;
} StructToResolve;

typedef struct StructToResolve2 {
    uint32_t           engineVersion;
    uint32_t           apiVersion;
};

//Illegal but we test Assist++ here !
struct StructToResolve3 {
    uint32_t           engineVersion;
    uint32_t           apiVersion;
} StructToResolve3;

struct StructToResolve4 {
    uint32_t           engineVersion;
    uint32_t           apiVersion;
} test;

#endif

All four struct are found by assist++. However, auto completion don't work on the first.
Moreover having a struct having a name at begining and variable declaration with the same name are shown has two different struct by Assist++.

test.cpp

#include "test.h"
int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
	StructToResolve str;
	str. // Assist++ don't find anything. It don't even open
	
	StructToResolve2 str2;
	str2.engineVersion; // work fine
	
	
	StructToResolve3 str3;
	str3.apiVersion; // Work fine BUT doing a Ctrl+ Space during writting of this type result in 2 distinct StructToResolve3 type. See the screenshot
	
	StructToResolve4 str4;
	str4.engineVersion; // Work fine BUT ...
		
	return 0;
}

this bug is problematique when working with lib definition a huge amount of the structure which have the same declaration as the first one.
