A couple of days before I posted a question regarding the class browser. I find rather unusual that nobody has actually bothered answering what I consider a crucial issue regarding the quality of Dev-C++ version 4.9.8.4 (...whatever: the last one fellows).
Making the nagging shorter: After opening the class browser, once you open the class declaration the class browser never finds the actual functions declaration: it keeps returning to the declaration (*.hpp file). I tried swapping, etc, but no accurate location of the actual functions' body in the source files.
Can anyone provide some input on this issue?
Greeting to all, VH
Apologies: I posted the same on the wrong thread...sorry for that.

Yep, I thought so, and guess that as the application grows it turns more complicated to hunt the bugs down.
I have found that sometimes the browser does recognise the exact location of the functions implementation, but not in some others (?). I don't know if this will help, but another behaviur I have detected has to do with the editor opening the declaration file everytime you click on a functions declaration on the class browser. In other words, I closed the declaration file, but the browser appears to force the editor to open the *.hpp file. BTW, the browser always locates the functions declaration within the *.hpp file with accuracy.
PS: This little problem does not turn so detrimental, for at the end Dev-C++ allows to bookmark any specific location within the source files.

This is a known bug, sometimes Dev-C++ doesn't go to the implementation correctly.
