Auto completion bug with curly-initialized class members

[SuperV1234]

Example.h

Code: Select all

class Example {
    vector<int> works;
    vector<int> doesntwork { 0 };
}

If I use auto-completion in Example.cpp, I can find the member "works" in the list along with all of its members (push_back, size, etc..).
I can't find the member "doesntwork" in the auto-completion list. If I remove the curly brace initialization ({0}), then it shows up.

Code: Select all

vector<int> doesntwork { 0 };

is not a valid declaration.

Code: Select all

vector<int> doesntwork { 0 };

is not a valid declaration.

It is in C++11, which is the current standard (approved, not experimental anymore).
It is also advised to use such syntax instead of round brace "(...);" initialization or copy initialization "= ...;".

Not valid as you wrote in the class.

But, to answer to your question,
you can enable clang completion in menu:
Settings... -> Tags settings.. -> clang -> Enable clang completion

and then it works for me.

Well obviously you'd have to #include <vector> and "using namespace std;". I left that out to make a shorter example.
The code I posted compiles properly in my workspace.

Compiling clang (and getting it to work) on Windows is quite hard. I've tried several times, and it never worked. Do you have a working MinGW+Clang distro?

[Jarod42]

I have no problem with Experimental Clang Binaries for Mingw32/x86 of http://llvm.org/releases/download.html#3.1.
See http://www.codelite.org/LiteEditor/ClangCompiler for more details.

Note that it is not needed for clang completion.
Codelite uses clang.dll (provided with codelite).
So just check the checkbox to use clang completion.

I managed to get clang working, but the problem persists.
It also happens with code outline window (curly-initialized members aren't displayed at all!)

Can this issue be looked into? Curly-initialization is good practice and modern code should use it as much as possible.

Another bug: name refactoring doesn't work with curly-initialized class members.

Please post it @sourceforge as feature request

I posted it here: https://sourceforge.net/p/codelite/bugs/846/

I messed up the formatting unfortunately. I posted it as a single bug report because I think the problems are really closely related, probably the code parser just being unable to parse the curly initialization correctly.

Thanks for posting this in SF.
