[Solved] QtCreator code completion not working when invoking constructors with enclosing braces

[nick85]

Hi all,

I have a problem with QtCreator and my coding style.
I'm using QtCreator 3.2.2.

Both code completion and syntax highlighting do not work properly when invoking a constructor with enclosing braces.
For example:

@class C
{
public:
C() {}
~C() {}

void foo() {}

};

C * myobj1 = new C();
myobj1->foo(); // code completion does not show

C * myobj2 = new C;
myobj2->foo(); // code completion is properly shown
@

After initializing myobj1, when I access it through the arrow operator no code completion is available.
Additionally, myobj1 is not properly highlighted according to syntax highlighting.

Is there a solution to this issue or do I have to resort to omitting the enclosing braces?
Thanks in advance

It's slightly safer not to use those parentheses, see "this":http://stackoverflow.com/questions/620137/do-the-parentheses-after-the-type-name-make-a-difference-with-new.

But Qt Creator should still work in both cases. I have verified and I get this behaviour with Qt Creato 3.2.2. Please try with newest release (3.3) and if it is still there, please file a bug report.

I found following "BUG":https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-13122.
It seem to be closed with QtCreator 3.3.0.
I will try with 3.3.0 (at the moment qt site is down :O)!

Yes, the security protocol is being updated on the server and the site is not stable at the moment.

Ok great, so it is probably fixed.

issue is solved in QtCreator 3.3.0!
thanks!

Great, happy further coding :-)
