Intellisense/Code parser error

Hi, awesome job with this pluging.

I'm getting an error mark on Visual Studio IDE when I work with enumerators.

It doesn't show an error on the error list but I can see this red wave mark below the equal operator in my code, and says "Error: a value of type "mStatus" cannot be assigned to an entity of type "mStatus"

The code compiles and upload to the arduino board without problem, but it's annoying getting this red mark on this line of code. 

Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

The red mark appear below the equal sign of the following line:
myStatus = INITIALIZING;

here is the sample:

Code
Select All
enum mStatus {
	INITIALIZING,
	WARMINGUP,
	READY,
	RUNNING,
	STOPPED
};

volatile mStatus myStatus;

void setup()
{

	/* add setup code here */
	myStatus = INITIALIZING;
}

void loop()
{

  /* add main program code here */

}


I'm using Visual Studio 2010 10.0 SP1
Arduino 1.0.1 software
Mega 2560 board

Yep I get that. We are using the VC++ intellisense system which isn't a 100% perfect fit.

Having said that we have some limited control to improve it but my C++ isn't good enough.

If you can make any recommendations based on the following it would be appreciated:-

1) There might be certain vs intellisense, link and/or compiler switches/defines that Visual Studio supports to disable certain warnings. 

2) I notice that error disappears if myStatus is defined as int instead of mStatus. I am not suggesting you  make this change but wonder if vm can automatically add any "hidden" typedefs or defines to fix this type of problem. "Hidden" commands are ones that vm can ensure only apply to visual studio project intellisense (not the real source compile)

Any suggestions or observations will be appreciated

It's difficult for me to suggest something, I learning C++ too.

However I will do my work and look at some of your suggestions to get any idea to you.

I will update this post with my findings (if any).

Anyone with more ideas?

I ran into this one too - discovered in my case the problem was a duplicate definition - when I put my enum in a .h file then wrapped #ifndef ...... #define .....  #endif tags around the contents of the .h file the issue went away. Hope this helps

Madz. That's a great point. 

I had forgotten how sensitive vs is about multiple definitions. 

Thanks!
