Hi,

First, thanks for fixing up most of the colouring issues I'd reported in 1238/1239.. things look much better now.

I've noticed a minor colouring issue that I thought I'd report.

If I do this:

float myFloat;

Then both 'float' and 'myFloat' are coloured correctly (with 'myFloat' being displayed in the VAX 'Variables' colour.

If I do this:

float base;

Then 'base' is displayed in the VAX 'Methods' colour. Selecting the word shows no existing definition of the word 'base' known by VAX. I was unable to find it in any of the autotext files (I thought I'd check, even though I have autotext suggestions turned off).

So, on screen it kinda looks like this:

float myFloat;
float base;


Which isn't right, is it?

Thanks,
Dean

i am getting this quite a lot in VS .NET 2003, C++ and VAX 1239

http://www.wholetomato.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2435

i am also seeing other examples. the variable names seem to be defined somewhere as class member functions. the problem is that a lot of common variable names are effected by this

edit - the effected code compiles and executes correctly, and as far as i know the matching members are not members of the current class.

1239 seems to have the behaviour to color anything that is defined ANYwhere. Even if its totally out of context. I can define a member variable "someName" and use someName in a totally unrelated file, without any include, import, whatever and someName is still colored as known variable. Same if i had a function "someName" somewhere, then all unrelated references are colored as functions. that is extremly confusing in 1239.

I agree, but I'm still on 1233. And I didn't think it was a new problem either.

I have "Guess symbol definition" off.

it seems a lot worse in the last couple builds, including 1239. the problem with impressions is it is hard to be 100% certain.

It IS a lot worse. Especially annoying is it when a variable is colored as type or function. Guessing is off for me me too.
