(now showing errors as you type...)
Also I have added Alt+Shift+U - similar to Alt+U (show all references), but shows all references for symbol at cursor instead of current function.

Hi Mirek,
While 'now showing errors as you type...' feature first appears great, I have noticed that my focus gets distracted by this feature especially when slowly writing and intensely thinking about some more complex programming challenges. So, could you make this feature optional in Assist Settings?
Thanks and best regards,
Tom

Yes, in TODO already.
That said, theide was showing red behind wrong parenthesis for ages now...
Also, yesterday I have changed "error at the end of line" (usually missing semicolon) to show just as single character.

- you can now switch it off in settings
- you can setup the color
- it might be now be little less invasive as I have removed some 'false' moments to do the check
- some related bugs (like error at the end of some includes) fixed
- there is now status icon "OK" / "Errors" in the left corner; it can be switched off as well
Mirek
Thanks, Mirek!
BR, Tom

Hello,
I discussed this already with Mirek, but I am not happy how the new OK state is presented within TheIDE. I know that I can turn it off, but it is a default option, so all users will be affected by this change and I do not want to read that our UI feels like 90s. For me it is too invasive, it is colliding with line numbers, breakpoints and documentation annotation. TheIDE should be more minimal and less visually heavy. Screenshot with the new OK state below (top left corner of CodeEditor):
Can we just do not show nothing and display only errors only in scrollbar? I know that Mirek might be affraid that the check doesn't run, but it means that we have a bug that needs to be eliminated. We can show this OK/Errors state in verbose mode for debug purpose. Also, most of IDE's doesn't display this state, so precedence in this case is risky and unnecessary. The final option is to do not show this icon by default and make it optional.
Moreover, the default Navigator position was bring back from right to left. I understand that it is harder to read expanded symbols, but the overall default layout of TheIDE suffers from it. It is much easier to navigate with the mouse from CodeEditor to list of files when Navigator is not between Files/Packages and CodeEditor. Also, right now you can not just do not use Navigator, it is integrated part of expirience, because it shows the progression of parsing. Maybe we can move information about parsing somwhere else for example to status bar, which is hidden by default?

Hi Mirek,
I have noticed, that Assist autocomplete does not show all methods for e.g. String. If I type "String::" I would expect to see a whole bunch of methods (including e.g. 'StartsWith'), but for some reason I only get about 20 results or so. Is this issue depending on the way String inherits from other classes? Pre-libclang versions of TheIDE returned quite a lot of options for String:: .
Further on, if I may add to the wish list...
typedef struct{
int a;
int b;
union{
int i;
dword u;
float f;
};
}tt;
In addition to a and b, would it be possible to see also i, u and f in the assist autocomplete listing for the type tt above?
Thanks and best regards,
Tom

Sorry, stupid of me: Today, I'm on Windows. Just upgraded TheIDE and the problem still persists.
Best regards,
Tom
UPDATE: Just looked on the Linux size, and there assist shows all the bells and whistles for String:: ! So this seems to be on the Windows side only.

Weird, probably somehow related to something, I just did quick test
#include <Core/Core.h>
using namespace Upp;
CONSOLE_APP_MAIN
{
String h;
h.
}
and I can see StartsWith.
That said, I have noticed there are yet problems when build method is MSVC (I have it in my TODO list). Can that be the problem? (if that is the case, test by switching to CLANGx64).

Now this is interesting!
With CLANG/CLANGx64 and also with MSVS22/MSVS22x64 it works fine! (No need to compile, just switching the build method is enough.) However, with MSBT19/MSBT19x64/MSBT22/MSBT22x64 it fails with only a short list of items.
BR, Tom
UPDATE: To be more accurate, I'm on "Windows 11 Pro, Version 21H2, OS build 22000.1098"

Hi!
I realized some weird behavior of the new error-detection, like in this example. In some files errors are detected, that definitly arent.
Another issue is, that a file i see without errors, a collegue of me, has errors shown, while i havent, using CLANG both on Windows.
In all these cases, compilation shows no problem.

Hello Wermann33,
Could you attached the problematic code with the error. From your screenshot I see that commented include was detected as an error, but nothing more. To fix this issue we need to have broader context.
I know that your code might be secret. If it is, please rework it to not be. We need only reproduction scenario, everything else is not needed.
