Anyone having Intellisense weirdness with 1.39 and VS 2008?
First off, as a newbie to the list, is there a searchable archive anywhere? I found the archives, but other than scanning the thread by subject, I couldn't see a way to find out if this question had been answered.... so, here goes... I was using 1.35. I decided to upgrade to 1.39, since I was having one of those days where I started upgrading other stuff, and figured, "what the hell....." With 1.39, certain classes in certain projects seem to show up in Intellisense (that is, the Class Viewer) as if they were best 7 or 8 levels deep in a boost namespace. That is, under my project, there will be a boost {} entry. I expand that, there's another boost {} entry. I keep doing that for a while, and finally, my class shows up. That class isn't really in the boost namespace. And it's only the MSFT browser that is confused, everything compiles and runs normally. If I back out to 1.35, this goes away. Any clues?

I have intellisense weirdness with the normal VS as it is. VS does not handle a lot of things well. If you have some money to burn, the Visual Studio add-on replaces the normal VS intellisense with a *VASTLY* better one (in addition to a tremendous host of other features, beware, it is addictive).

What Visual Studio addon?
I'm pretty sure that he's talking about Visual Assist (http://www.wholetomato.com/). I use it, and it is indeed excellent. John

Well, I had picked 1.39 to install because I was lazy, and there was a binary distro from Boost Pros. I installed 1.40 instead, fought a battle with bjam for a couple of hours (I use date_time and regex, so I needed some libs and dlls). The weirdness in Intellisense is now gone. Sorry for cluttering up the list with a question about a slightly out-of-date version!

Bah! Yes, I was talking about Visual Assist from Whole Tomato, I was running on 30+ hours awake when I sent that email... >.> But yes, well worth the money if you do any decent amount of coding.
In my project that uses boost heavily, the Intellisense usually hangs the VS, so the best thing I could do was to disable it.
