Title: code completion is not working with C-like structure definition
Post by: coder on July 07, 2008, 12:37:40 pm: I found a problem with Codeblocks, which is very critical for all C developers.

When I declare structure like this:

typedef struct My_test_struct My_test_struct_t;

struct My_test_struct
{
int nElement1;
int nElement2;
};

, code completion is not able to show elements:

My_test_struct_t a;
a.

But, if structure is declared like this:
typedef struct
{
int nElement1;
int nElement2;
}My_test_struct_t;

, then it works perfect:

My_test_struct_t a;

a.
nElement1
nElement2

I think for all C-developers is very important to extend "code completion" to make completion feature working also in case of C-like structure definition.

Post by: coder on July 07, 2008, 01:56:10 pm: access to the functions in my project is OK, in the "symbols browser" I can see all functions, and also when i type the name of function, autocompletion is working.

CodeCompletion gets currently redesigned.
