I'm a pretty new user to Visual Micro. I noticed that in my builds, the error messages for C++ are missing a lot of information. For example, this is an error that the Arduino IDE currently shows for my code:
[code]Thread.cpp: In constructor 'Thread::Thread(const char*)':
Thread.cpp:24: error: ISO C++ forbids taking the address of an unqualified or parenthesized non-static member function to form a pointer to member function.  Say '&Thread::Run'
Thread.cpp:24: error: converting from 'void (Thread::*)()' to 'void*'[/code]

This is what I see in the Visual Micro "Micro Build" view in Visual Studio for the same error:
[code]Thread.cpp : : In constructor 'Thread::Thread(const char*)':
Thread.cpp : Run'
Thread.cpp : *)()' to 'void*'[/code]

I'm not posting about the error itself -- it's my code and I do know how to fix it. But this is extremely irritating as I can't figure out what half the errors are in my code without switching to the Arduino IDE and trying it there also!

Thanks Tim. I noticed that the double clicking did take me to the line, at least, as you said. Verbose doesn't make any difference in the content of these messages.

I look forward to the next release.

I have seen this behavior when there is an error in a library file. It could also be a linker error but mostly if an type identifier of a class is not declared.

If for instance you have

MYCLASS::my_class(

and MYCLASS was not declared in scope, then this could happen. Strange I know but I go directly to the cpp file when I get this error.

Sorry about the delay. Error formatting should be greatly improved in the last release of Visual Micro. There will also be a visual tweak in the next release
