bimap intellisense problems in VC++ 2008

Hi all, I'm having some intellisense problems with with boost::bimaps::bimap of the current boost build (boost 1.39) . The problem is that no intellisense on bimap is generated at all, intellisense goes as far as the boost::bitmaps namespace. My programme however compiles just fine. I have the boost library included in my project (..Programme Files\boost\boost_1_39), linked needed libraries (Programme Files\boost\boost_1_39\lib) and have my include statement (#include ). I have also forced the regeneration of the project's intellisense database on suspicion that it might have been corrupted, this however did not resolve the problem . Is there anything I have missed? Thank you //Donald

I guess, no. Visual Studio Intellisense is quite squeamish with Boost. I had many problems with different libraries. I guess, Visual Assist X fixes most of them. One thing makes me happy - I'm not Intellisense-dependent, and it is good :)

Thanks for the verification Roman, I'm really not in for installing 3rd party tools for my IDE, I'll just go ahead and code without the intellisense, served as a good reassertion tool for me though.

Donald, one more idea. Sometimes I made Intellisense work better when manually added boost dir to "additional include directories" in Project options (as you understand, Boost already was added to Visual Studio Options -> C++ Directories) I guess, it will not help in your situation(80% probability), but try this also.

Hi Roman, manually adding boost dir to "additional include directories" is what I meant by "I have the boost library included in my project (..Programme Files\boost\boost_1_39)...." in my initial post. //Donald -------------------------------------------------- From: "Roman Shmelev" Sent: Monday, August 03, 2009 8:41 PM To: Subject: Re: [Boost-users] bimap intellisense problems in VC++ 2008

Yes, Visual Studio Intellisense *sucks* to put it mildly. Visual Assist X is truly amazing, once you start using it, nothing compares, I have to say that I am truly addicted. Every time I have to go to someone else's computer Visual Studio feels like notepad in comparison... But yes, VAX works wonderfully with boost, I generally have to tell it to rebuild the intellisense database when I rebuild boost, but that is a button click.

Hi OvermindDl1, I'll go ahead and give VAX a try on your recommendation. Thanks //Donald -------------------------------------------------- From: "OvermindDL1" Sent: Tuesday, August 04, 2009 12:23 AM To: Subject: Re: [Boost-users] bimap intellisense problems in VC++ 2008
