Hi, I'm developing a windows application using boost libraries. Unfurtunately, some parameters of it are totally out of my control, nor I have the leverage needed to change it. Namely, - the application *must* use Visual C++ 9.0 runtime - the IDE to be used is capped at Visual Studio 2013 - to avoid problems with other related projects, the boost release should be 1.54.0 (here I have a modicum of liberty, as far as the previous two conditions are satisfied) I may live whit all of the above, however Intellisense has some glitches that are annoying me. For one, it appears unable to recognize the boost::asio::ip namespace. If I define a variable as, for instance boost::asio::ip::udp::endpoint ep; Intellisense marks 'ip' in red and keeps saying that ep is undefined (and consequently doesn't offer completion for its methods). I have tried including directly boost/asio/ip/udp.hpp and also putting an "using boost::asio::ip::udp" before the above definition as in #include <boost/asio/ip/udp.hpp> using boost::asio::ip::udp; udp::endpoint ep; but nothing changes (I'll gladly post a screenshot if I knew which is the accepted way to post images to this list). It should be noted that, aside from this and some analogous problems, Intellisense works fine, making the above even more annoying. Does anyone have a solution to this problem that do not violate the aforementioned constraints? Thanks in avance lc -- Leo Cacciari Aliae nationes servitutem pati possunt.

.... It works for me using VS2012 and boost 1.55 which is pretty close to your target restrictions. Are the boost directories reachable / defined within the project? Ie when you do #include <boost/ .... Does Intelli-sense start navigating through the boost hierarchy of includes for you? If not then either working within a dummy project pathing in the boost headers or setting VC global environment as per https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2676417/how-do-include-paths-work-in-vis... might help.

Hi, Yes it does. It even shows alternatives when I type boos::asio:: or similar prefixes. However some alternatives that should be there aren't. For one, the ip namespace under boost::asio. I even tried to include directly boost/asio/ip/udp.hpp to no avail. There are other alternatives missing, such as boost::asio::streambuf (but it sees boost::asio::basic_streambuf so that I can write asio::boost::basic_streambuf<> and make it happy at the cost of having longer typedef). It seems like Intellisense is unable to make sense of some boost header files, not enough intelli? :-) lc -- Leo Cacciari Aliae nationes servitutem pati possunt. Populi Romani est propria libertas.
Intellisense gets confused sometimes. Try deleting all .vs folders under the solution folder. This will force it to rebuild the database. -----Original Message----- From: Boost-users <boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org> On Behalf Of Leo Cacciari via Boost-users Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2018 8:38 AM To: boost-users@lists.boost.org Cc: Leo Cacciari <leo.cacciari@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [Boost-users] Boost and Intellisense On Tue, May 15, 2018 at 6:24 PM, Alex Perry via Boost-users <boost-users@lists.boost.org> wrote:
