Comments problem with MSVC 2003

[mikahell]

I'm having problems with seeing comments properly in my code. I don't know how to explain it but the IntelliSense comments are never working right... Let's say I have this following code that I use under main():

struct foo {
	UCHAR	a,	//A comment
		b,	//B comment
		c;	//C comment
};

int main() {
	foo OBJ;
}

Now if I'd write "OBJ." on another line, a listbox would open telling the members for the OBJ's struct. And placing the cursor on any member is supposed to print out the comment that matchs with the data member. But it's not working at all... I only get the comment for "a" member no matter what I point on. I have also attached a .bmp explaining my problem.

Can this be solved? Writing it this way works though, but I dislike writing out unsigned chars many times, and it can be really ugly if you have tons of vars... Any idea? Should I move on with MSVC 2005?

struct foo {
	UCHAR	a;	//A comment
	UCHAR	b;	//B comment
	UCHAR	c;	//C comment
};

The problem is that it seems MSVC2003 parser expects a semicolon, it seems. It makes sense if you ask me. If there is no way for you to configure the intelisense to expect a newline character, then you will have to live with option 2.

Btw, the 2nd option is not ugly. It is advised by many. Your code becomes clearer and it makes it easy for you to edit it in case you need to change a type, remove a variable or search for its declaration.

Then it seems I'll have to live with the second option. Its just that I find it really repetitive to rewrite the data type each time...

This question is not about the c++ programming language but compiler configuration; moved to tech.

You know, you've been doing A LOT of thread moving lately...Why don't people read a little bit more?

And watching ... which I still don't get, but at least he's an active mod!!!

'Twas but a wee jest - but a forthright one nontheless.

I think you misinterpreted my use of that word or I used it in a position where it could be interpreted many ways.
