Objects of typedef'ed types cannot be autocompleted?

[daviddoria]

Is there a reason that objects of typedef'ed types cannot be autocompleted? For example:

@#include <iostream>

struct MyClass
{
void TestFunction(){}
};

int main (int , char *[])
{
MyClass myClass;
myClass.TestFunction();

MyClass* myClass2 = new MyClass;
myClass2->TestFunction();

typedef MyClass MyClassType;
MyClassType myClass3;
// myClass3. // no autocomplete list produced

return 0;
}
@

Here "myClass." produces the auto complete list, "myClass2->" produces the auto complete list, but "myClass3." does NOT produce the autocomplete list.

Can anyone explain that?

Thanks,

David

That is just how it is :D QtCreator's engine is getting better all the time, though, so I would expect it to work some time in the future (I'm not sure, actually, but it might have worked in the past).

You could compile QtC from the experimental clang branch, maybe it works there.

I can reproduce that with QTC 2.6.0. Could you file a bug report, please?
