How can i config it? please look in the attachment

The Defs tool window doesn't show the #endif, because it is considered to be part of the #ifdef, #ifndef, #if or #elif statement that introduced the block.

Take the following for example:

Code: [Select]

#ifdef XXXXX

   void haveXXXX();

#elif YYYYY

   void haveYYYYY();

#elif ZZZZZ

   void haveZZZZZ();

#endif

When you turn on Statement Tagging in the Defs tool window, you will see each of the preprocessing statements, excluding the "#endif", just like we would not show the close brace for a while or for statement.

BTW, you can use the block matching to jump from a the start of a preprocessing block statement to the corresponding #endif.  (Search > Go to Matching Parenthesis).

Hi Dennis

Thanks a lot for your reply.
But I think that we need this feature. So, is there any macro script be avaiable. it's a little unconvient to find the corresponding #endif

Thanks

@chgmxx: It's not too bad that it's a little bit inconvenient b/c this reminds one that #ifdef and preprocessor magic in general is evil and should be avoided
Unfortunately it's sometimes the best solution..
BTW: I've bound the very helpful 'find-matching-paren' command to a hotkey.

Also notice that in the Defs tool window, the code that is within the #if... #endif sequence is nested under the tree structure, so just look for sibling of the #if statement, and that will be the next symbol after the #endif.

Yeah, the #endif is implicit from the nesting. Some may prefer display of the #endif for sense of completeness in the tool window but the tree nesting does indicate it's placement.

Hi Dennis&hs2
Thanks a lot for your reply.
Maybe this feature is quite a little programmer need it. but I used to using source insight tool. the #if ..#endif layout in defs is quite useful for us to understand the bound of source code.

Thanks again.
