#127 Code completion fails with complex declarations/definitions

[HolyBlackCat]

I have noticed that code completion system is relatively simple. It subtitutes only functions/variables with simple declarations, but complex ones like

void (*SimplePaintFunc(uint8_t r, uint8_t g, uint8_t b, uint8_t a))(int, int);

don't appear in the list (like this one) or have incorrect type.

I'm on Windows x64. Version is 13.12 (from windows installer).

Can you make a full example file that can be used to demonstrate the problem?

Looks like I can't edit my post. Here it is:
(I forgot how to reproduce the wrong type problem. Maybe it's already fixed.)

~~~~~~~~
int test01; // OK
int test02; // OK
int (test03); // NOT IN THE LIST
int (test04)(); // NOT IN THE LIST
int test05(); // OK
int (test06)(); // NOT IN THE LIST
int (test07); // NOT IN THE LIST
int const test08 = 0; // OK
int (const test09) = 0; // NOT IN THE LIST
int test10[1] = {0}; // OK
int test11[1] = {0}; // OK
int (test12)[1]; // NOT IN THE LIST
int test13(); // OK
int (test14()); // NOT IN THE LIST
int (test15())(); // NOT IN THE LIST

int main()
{
// Type test on the next line and look at the autocompletion list

return 0;

}

Interesting things should be supported by c/c++ compilers...

@ollydbg: I'm assigning this to you, because you're our cc master:) If you don't intend to fix it don't hesitate to set the owner to none.

Hi,

I don't know if this is the same bug or not, but I have a similar problem. Code completion doesn't work with functions which have a complex (non native) type :

enum e_example
{
    E_EX_1,
    E_EX_2,
    E_EX_3
};

enum e_example my_function();

enum e_example my_function()
{
    return E_EX_3;
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    // type `my_fun` on the next line and look at the autocompletion list

    return 0;
}

I have the following build (13.12) on linux (centos) : Dec 25 2013, 23:43:10 - wx2.8.12 (Linux, unicode) - 32 bit.

Sorry if this is not the same bug, please inform me, I will open another ticket.

Thanks!

Hi, jidey, I just tested with the trunk code, and it failed. I have added a test case to our cctest project (r10332). Thanks for the report.

Hi, jidey. Your reported issue is fixed in r11572. Sorry for the long delay. And thanks for the report.

I add the test case https://sourceforge.net/p/codeblocks/tickets/127/#520e to our trunk, thanks HolyBlackCat for the report, here is the test result:
