VisualStudio Intellisense error with PSTR
May 3rd, 2015 at 2:29pm
 
Hi, I'm using VS2013, Arduino IDE 1.6.3 and latest candidate release of VisualMicro.
Intellisense keeps marking PSTR() macro as error.
The program then compiles and runs without problem.
It's not blocking, just annoying: I read you made changes to intellisense and I was hoping in a solution for this, but evidently not.
Thanks all the same for the awesome VisualMicro and for your top class support that I recently experienced.

Hi,

I only get to know about intellisense issues when the are reported. This one might have been and maybe I forgot Smiley

I have added that to the next release due today or tomorrow.

Please do report anything like that I am trying to build a list of intellisense redefines.

You can also add a .h to your projects and add #defines for anything that annoys prior to reporting.

For example this will fix the PSTR error. It's wrapped in a check to ensure Visual Studio is processing the file. When Visual Micro compiles it does not set the std Visual Studio compiler defs so the code will be ignored by Visual Micro and the Arduino Ide.

Code
Select All
#if defined(_MSC_VER)
#undef PSTR
#define PSTR(string_literal) ((const PROGMEM char *)(string_literal))
#endif

Thanks for fixing this. This was starting to drive me nuts. Ok, exaggerating a bit, but it was annoying.

Please report these things when you find them. It doesn't help to comment after they are fixed  Smiley

I thought this was one of of things that couldn't be fixed it. It was always something along the lines of "VM understands VS Intellisense, but not AVR C and there is only so much I can do about that"

Oh I see. Yes sorry I didn't explain I found a way to fix things by re-defining them for intellisense only. Each issue can be addressed individually when discovered.
