beta8: c++ autocomplete with vector isn't working

[Russ]

Seems all right in windows with MSVC10 but isn't working in Ubuntu 13.04 so it's probably something to do with gcc 4.7

[Dennis]

Thanks for pointing this out.  My guess is that GCC 4.7 adds new preprocessing we are not pre-configured for.

Hi Dennis,
It might not be so easy. If I include the same line inside a printf statement then SlickEdit hangs when symbol colouring kicks in :-(
Russ


#include <stdio.h>
#include <vector>

struct mystruct
{
    int where_are_you;
};

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
    std::vector<mystruct> myvec;
    printf("%d\n",myvec.back().where_are_you);
    return(0);
}

I notice this works in Windows with the GCC 4.7 compiler that comes with CodeBlocks. But it still doesn't work for me in Ubuntu 13.04 using 18.0.1.2 with hotfix 5

Any ideas?

[Russ]

Sigh, it appeared to be working. But that was because I hadn't tagged the Mingw headers 

I've undefined __GXX_EXPERIMENTAL_CXX0X__ to use a simpler implementation of vector and then retagged the headers.
But it looks like Slickedit isn't following the rebind template in the allocator because it's autocomplete is "other" which is still a type alias

[Russ]

Now that I'm paying more attention I also notice substr is missing from std::string autocomplete

[Dennis]

I was able to fix this for the next release and I'm putting together a rather large hot fix that should improve STL handling quite a bit.
