Hi All,

I don't know exactly what's the technical name of what I'm doing, but look at the following code:

Code

float *pFloat;
float **pFloat2;
float (*pFloatPar)[3];

int main()
{
	pFloat;
	pFloat2;
	pFloat
}

I've declared pFloatPar as a double array in a way that the compiler knows about the second dimension size and then I can write pFloatPar[2][1].

However, the actual code completion doesn't recognize the declaration (see the attached screenshot). My assumption is that CC cannot correctly parse the parenthesis...

Yes. The parser just skip the "[3]".

The proposed fix is try to peek the token after the right parenthesis, and if it is a "[", then we can guess that is is a second level pointer.

Yes. The parser just skip the "[3]".

Even if the parser does so, the result should be float *pFloatPar; and the parser should treat it as a pointer to a float. This would, of course, be wrong, but it seems the parser is just dropping this symbol completely.

That sounds good to me, however I'm not that familiar with the CC plugin to try a patch, sorry... ;-)

...I got another one (a vector) not working properly for me:

Code

#include <vector>

class AClass
{
public:
   AClass() {;}
  ~AClass() {;}

  void MyMethod() {;}
};

class AnotherClass
{
public:
   AnotherClass() {;}
  ~AnotherClass() {;}

  inline const std::vector<AClass*> GetAClassVec()
  {
    return mvpAClass;
  }

private:
   std::vector<AClass*> mvpAClass;
};

int main()
{
  AnotherClass a;
  a. // does not show GetAClassVec
}

ollydbg · « **Reply #7 on:** November 18, 2011, 03:16:42 pm »

Look, it seems the function does not parse correctly. See the screen shot below

ollydbg · « **Reply #8 on:** November 18, 2011, 03:39:46 pm »

OK, we arrived in this if clause.

Code

                else if (peek==ParserConsts::dcolon)
                {
                    if (m_Str.IsEmpty())
                        m_EncounteredTypeNamespaces.push(token); // it's a type's namespace
                    else
                        m_EncounteredNamespaces.push(token);
                    m_Tokenizer.GetToken(); // eat ::
                }

Here, I just parse the third line:

Code

class AnotherClass
{
  inline const std::vector<AClass*> GetAClassVec() {;}
};

Now:
token = "std"
peek = "::"
m_Str = "const "

The logic is:
We put the "std" as the m_EncounteredNamespaces,
but the correct way is: “std" should be put in m_EncounteredTypeNamespaces.

One possible way is: we should skip the ”const“ (do not put "const" into m_Str, as m_Str is like a returned type stack), so that when we peek a "::", we see the m_Str is empty, and ”std" will put into m_EncounteredTypeNamespaces.

OK, can you understand my explanation???

Yes, but I think removing const wouldn't be wise because you wanna know, don't you.

What about doing something like (untested, blind meta-code):

Code

else if (peek==ParserConsts::dcolon)
{
    if (   m_Str.IsEmpty()
        || m_Str.Trim(true).Trim(false).IsSameAs(ParserConsts::const)
        || m_Str.Trim(true).Trim(false).IsSameAs(ParserConsts::volatile) ) // what else?!
        m_EncounteredTypeNamespaces.push(token); // it's a type's namespace
    else
        m_EncounteredNamespaces.push(token);
    m_Tokenizer.GetToken(); // eat ::
}

It works OK, because the next time we enter the if clause, the have the same m_Str == const.

Code

                else if (peek==ParserConsts::dcolon)
                {
                    if (   m_Str.IsEmpty()
                        || m_Str.Trim(true).Trim(false).IsSameAs(ParserConsts::kw_const)
                        || m_Str.Trim(true).Trim(false).IsSameAs(ParserConsts::kw_volatile) ) // what else?!
                        m_EncounteredTypeNamespaces.push(token); // it's a type's namespace
                    else
                        m_EncounteredNamespaces.push(token);
                    m_Tokenizer.GetToken(); // eat ::
