stl::list breaking CDT features? [message #211841]

Hi,

we recently introduced the stl::list structure in our project after
searching for a reliable simple list implementation for some time[1].

However we noticed that

1. The Ctrl+Space completion feature does not work on stl::list
functions and iterators.

list<cExample> lExample;
list<cExample>::iterator test;
test = lExample.begin();
test->

This is the moment where I expected Ctrl+Space to give me an overview of
the member functions of cExample. It doesn't.

2. Call Hierarchy doesn't recognize the usage of member functions when
dereferncing an iterator. Consider my example in (1.).
When I write something like

test->destroy();

where destroy() is a member function of cExample, the Call Hierarchy
completely ignores that call.

My Question is, is there a way around this, and if not, can someone
suggest another list implementation that will not break the CDT's features?

Regards
Philip

[1]: We are currently discussing implementing our own list structure but
as we are somewhat new to C++ we had problems with the fact that we want
one list structure to provide multiple lists of different element types.

I have to take that back. Rebuilding the index fixed it.
The other point remains however.

You have to add the stl stuff to the index via
Project -> Properties -> C/C++ General -> Path and symbols.

Take care that it ends up in you C++ part and not in Assembly.

If you have problems with the indexer:
-> add problem annotation
Window -> Preferences ... -> C/C++ -> Editor -> Hovers ->
enable editor problem annotation
-> in case rebuild your index via project properties ...

IMHO in newest CDT 4.0.3 the indexer is improved again.

Thanks for your response Fabian,

however, it still doesn't work.

My "mingw/include/c++/3.4.5" Folder is already in the "Paths and Symbols
-> Includes -> GNU C++" list.

What exactly does that do? I didn't notice any difference after
activating it.

Unfortunately, I am already using 4.0.3.

....and that's where the header "list" resides. That's the one I included
to get access to the stl::list.

A simple "using namespace std;" solved this.

Solved through a rebuild of the index, although I don't get why that was
necessary.
