User forums > Nightly builds

The 11 February 2012 build (7789) is out.

Agetian:
I can confirm the error submitted by zetab, I can also say that it happens for C functions and not only for C++ classes (C functions that return char* are shown as returning char), and I have found another serious flaw with return types:
As one types a simple C program like this:


--- Code: ---#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
    printf(
}


--- End code ---

Upon typing the opening bracket of the standard function 'printf', which fires the printf declaration hint, the hint will show the function as "__MINGW_NOTHROW printf(const char*, ...)" thus omitting the return type (int) and the other declarations (_CRTIMP, __cdecl). Tested with the latest nightly (from this thread) and MinGW GCC 4.6.1.

This is known but not an easy thing to do. I've done some work on it which improves this, but not fully completed yet.

Also, I'm not sure if it's supposed to work (I think it used to work a couple builds ago, but my memory is a bit blurry), but the declaration hint is not shown for function-like macros, e.g. in this stupid little test macro:


--- Code: ---#define TEST_MACRO(x)  ((x) * (x))

int main()
{
    TEST_MACRO(
}

--- End code ---

TestClass.h

--- Code: ---#ifndef TESTCLASS_H
#define TESTCLASS_H
class TestClass
{
public:
TestClass();
virtual ~TestClass();

int* TestFunction();
};
#endif // TESTCLASS_H

--- End code ---

I got following code:
TestClass.cpp

--- Code: ---#include "TestClass.h"

TestClass::TestClass(){}
TestClass::~TestClass(){}

int TestClass::TestFunction()
{
}

--- End code ---

The return type of TestFunction missed the "*".
I have tried reparsing the project, but the problem is still there.

I have find the reason, see the comments in Insert all class methods without implementation malfunction

I think it can be fixed quickly, but that fix should be reviewed. :)

It works here, WinXP, c::b trunk.
