boost intellisense issue?

[thedixon]

My project uses boost. For some reason, clang intellisense finds a couple of problems there, here’s one example:

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error [Clang IntelliSense] Error: ‘days_’ is a protected member of ‘boost::date_time::date<boost::gregorian::date, boost::gregorian::gregorian_calendar, boost::gregorian::date_duration>’ silverstreet c:\users\xxx\appdata\local\visualgdb\remotesourcecache\xxx\0008\include\boost\date_time\date.hpp 146

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Message [Clang IntelliSense] declared protected here silverstreet c:\users\xxx\appdata\local\visualgdb\remotesourcecache\xxx\0008\include\boost\date_time\date.hpp 196

boost is 1.59. Nothing obvious comes to mind as to why would it not like it?

Unless some

Update. This is not just boost. This particular type of template code produces the same complaint about protected member. Compiles just fine with gcc 5.4. Is that due to c++14 changes? If yes – any workaround short of waiting for the updated visual gdb with (hopefully) new clang?

 

enum BookEnum
{
 f = 1,
 s = 2
};

template <typename Derived>
 class CreatorHelper 
 {
 public:

 protected:
 template <BookEnum BOOK_TYPE>
 void* test();
 };

template <typename Derived>
 class FCreatorHelper
 :
 public CreatorHelper<Derived>
 {

 protected:
 Derived* derived() { return static_cast<Derived*>(this); }
 virtual void* foo();

 };

template <typename Derived>
void* FCreatorHelper<Derived>::foo()
{
 return derived()->template test<f>();
}

template <typename PipelineTraits>
 class RealCreator
 :
 public FCreatorHelper<RealCreator<PipelineTraits> >
 {
 };

class Traits
{
 
};
void foo1() {
 RealCreator<Traits> h;
 
}

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State

Actually clang 3.4 also compiles it just fine. Are you having an even older version?

Hi,

Thanks, this actually looks like a side effect of one of our fixes on top of the original Clang. Please try this build: http://sysprogs.com/files/tmp/VisualGDB-5.2.16.1462.msi

Confirmed fixed. Incidentally it seemed to fix all the crashes/slowness I was having with intellisense, it’s much faster and haven’t crashed yet. Very impressive work guys, especially considering it was Friday night.

[thedixon]

Take it back on crashes – they are still happening. For some reason I’m having much faster responses here than in the email support, where I sent a couple of crash dumps to…

Hi,

We usually respond faster to issues that do not require thorough investigation (like crash dumps). We will follow up on the crash dumps once we have more information about the cause.
