When I make a change in a structure or class in a cpp file,Dev-C++ can not refresh immediately,I have to reopen the program after saving and closing all the files.Is it a bug in Dev-C++?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I know the mean of the "Basic 3"
1.The version of dev-C++ is Dev-C++ 5 Beta 9.2 (4.9.9.2) released for winxp
2.I just add a struct or class in cpp file and the class browser do not refresh immediately
3.There is no compile errors in my program.
I think dev-c++ is quite well.If it is a bug ,I hope you can correct it.

Give yourself an "F" for following directions on the Basic 3.
Posting example code does not mean giving a vague description of code. The point is to allow
us to see EXACTLY what you are seeing. We can't do this with a decription.
The log tells us MUCH more than the errors. When you are told to post something, DO IT.
You thought you knew better that I do what I need , but you do not.

A good question (or bug report) provides enough information for the person handling it
to duplicate what you are doing and seeing. When you fall back on a description of
the code, even if it appears suffient to you - its nowhere near as good as a specific
test case.
Not posting the log because you don't think its needed is a really bad thing. The
log gives us a ton of information about how your setup is configured, how the specific
code is compiled etc. It is FAR more than the error message.
In closing - it is always best when asked for specific information to provide it as
asked - chances are VERY good that the people know more about why they want the
information than you do.

No I think it is by design, it is just not a very good design! This is not the developer forum, but a user forum, so we cannot correct anything.
RFE and Bug reporting is via the tracker menu at the top of the forum, however I am certain that you will find many issues reported regarding the class browser so you may just be adding to the 'noise'. Also you will notice that no bug or RFE has been addressed in a long time - development is not currently active.
The derivative wxDev-C++ is active and you may find that they have made some improvements in this aspect, but I don't know. In 20 years of professional programming I have always found the most reliable class browser to be the text editor and a good find-in-files search tool (unfortunately Dev-C++ does not meet the latter either, not having regular expression support).
A class browser that works is available in VC++ 2005 Express Edition. I hate to advertise an alternative product, but it is the best free C++ development tool currently available.

If you are referring to the class browser, yes it is not very good. I never use it and have it disables it seems to be the cause of a number of bugs and performance issues.

I'm sorry, that was mean - but:

to duplicate what you are doing and seeing. When you fall back on a description of
the code, even if it appears suffient to you - its nowhere near as good as a specific

Can you provide your "Basic 3" for a test case that shows the problem?
Wayne
Sorry!What is the mean of "Basic 3"?
