[FEATURE REQUEST] CH_STYLE, CH_VALUE support in parser [message #12835]

I know there has been talk of substantial parser improvements, but I assume this is going to take some time.

In the meantime there is a problem with the CH_xxxx macros breaking the parser. ie. if there is a Chameleon macro in a cpp file, the parser will not recognise any of the functions following it. This makes using Query and Goto difficult/impossible to use when searching for function source code in CtrlLib.

Would it be possible to fix this? In my own code I always put the macros at the end of the file (which makes them easier to find anyway), but a special case in the parser code would fix this problem completely if editing all the files is too much work.

Thanks,
James

Assist -> Edit ignore list

Does this help?

BTW, 90% of my sources don't work with assist.
I'm don't even bother to check out anymore what's the case, I'm not using preprocessor that much (sometimes some #define with numerical constant), so I have no idea what's wrong, but it happens like "always" to me. I gave up already, and I'm waiting patiently for new parser and Assist.

(after using Visual Assist from Tomato software for years in MSVS and than MS's rip-off called "intellisense" or something like that, than VSlick assist ... U++ Assists is so far the worst I have ever seen in terms of reliability. The speed is good, similar to VSlick and better than MSVS (either with native assist or visual assist)).

Same problem here... Assist is nearly useless. With many macro it becomes completely useless.
IMHO Visual Assist is the best one. Perfectly handles macros like:

#define BAR(NAME) struct A { int NAME() { return 3;} };

main() {
BAR(foo) a;
a.???? // at ??? you get "foo" as suggestion !!!
}

But I like The Ide anyway....

Yeah, Visual Assist is great, but it's written by a team and for many years. See changelogs how many fixes there are with each release. Assist++ has only Mirek Smile
