Hi, sorry if I have missed some topic about possible fix, but I couldn't find anything.
I've updated my project from old Visual Micro plugin (standalone installer) to Visual Studio extension, and at the same time converted the project from VS 2013 to VS 2015.
The problem is intellisense stopped working, it's not like the other topics where intellisense complains about something missing it stopped working completely. There is no coloring, no suggestions, nothing.

If someone could point me in the right direction on how to reset/refresh intellisense, I would be grateful for any help.
Also I need to point that the same solution has other projects which are not Arduino projects. Intellisense works just fine there. Thanks in advance

I'm using newest Visual Micro, updated today, VS 2015 community edition.
I tried saving the project, deleting and readding files to this project, reloading toolchains, deleting project and cloning from repo again, changed the Visual Micro option "Always readd header", tried to change "Use intellisense fallback location" but it didn't let me.

Hello, sorry for my late response, and thank you for your response.
Yes I tried switching board and it doesn't fix the problem.

I guess C++ for VS 2015 is installed, because I can create, build and run c++ projects.
Yes the project compiles fine.

Best regards

Hi, thanks for your response.
I'm sorry there is something broken and it seems the code doesn't compile.
The intellisense coloring came back after I reinstalled VisualAssistX to VS2015, but I know something is still wrong, because it doesn't do coloring in the .ino file.
I have to put this problem on hold until I resolve why compilation fails. Now I think my problem is related to: http://www.visualmicro.com/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1447430981

1) Board is Sanguino with ATmega1284p with changed F_CPU to 20 MHz, because I run it with external oscillator

2) Arduino IDE 1.0.6, didn't switched to newer version because the boards.txt file entries I have for sanguino are incompatible with newer version

3) Checked, it is set to win32

4) I will send you two outputs, both from VisualMicro and ArduinoIDE


I thought that program compiled fine before, but it turns out it did compile because it was reusing existing compiled object files.
I switched off incremental compilation in VisualMicro options.
Now the project fails to compile, complaining about missing things. For example it cannot find Wire.h

I already tried removing the project and restoring it. By restoring it I mean, I created a new Arduino project, and copied the source files into it. Unfortunately this doesn't help.

I've analyzed the output of both Visual Micro build and Arduino IDE compilation process. I've found a problem, but don't know what's causing it.

Whenever compiler is invoked, it doesn't get passed dependencies in VisualMicro. I'll show example for one file I'm using: DS1307RTC.cpp

Here is VisualMicro compilation for this file:

D:\Programy\arduino-1.0.6\hardware\tools\avr\bin\avr-g++ -c -g -Os -fno-exceptions -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -Wall -mmcu=atmega1284p -DF_CPU=20000000L -MMD -DUSB_VID=null -DUSB_PID=null -DARDUINO=106 -I"D:\Programy\arduino-1.0.6\hardware\arduino\cores\arduino" -I"D:\Programy\arduino-1.0.6\hardware\Sanguino\variants\sanguino" -o m\DS1307RTC\DS1307RTC.cpp.o"  "C:\Users\Mikaka\Documents\Arduino\libraries\DS1307RTC\DS1307RTC.cpp" 

And here is compilation for Arduino IDE:

D:\Programy\arduino-1.0.6\hardware\tools\avr\bin\avr-g++ -c -g -Os -Wall -fno-exceptions -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -mmcu=atmega1284p -DF_CPU=20000000L -MMD -DUSB_VID=null -DUSB_PID=null -DARDUINO=106 -ID:\Programy\arduino-1.0.6\hardware\arduino\cores\arduino -ID:\Programy\arduino-1.0.6\hardware\Sanguino\variants\sanguino -ID:\Programy\arduino-1.0.6\libraries\Wire -IC:\Users\Mikaka\Documents\Arduino\libraries\smart_ptr -IC:\Users\Mikaka\Documents\Arduino\libraries\Time -IC:\Users\Mikaka\Documents\Arduino\libraries\DS1307RTC -IC:\Users\Mikaka\Documents\Arduino\libraries\Sim900 -IC:\Users\Mikaka\Documents\Arduino\libraries\AESLib -IC:\Users\Mikaka\Documents\Arduino\libraries\http_parser -IC:\Users\Mikaka\Documents\Arduino\libraries\DS1307RTC\utility C:\Users\Mikaka\Documents\Arduino\libraries\DS1307RTC\DS1307RTC.cpp -o RTC.cpp.o 

As you can see VisualMicro fails to pass all the necessary directories to the compiler itself. I still can see all these directories in "Additional Include Directories" setting in Visual Studio. This causes following error just below above line:

Hi, I know there are a lot of warnings, I'll fix them sometime

I'll answer your questions as best as I can:
1) No I don't do that. When i used the all VisualMicro addin for VS I just added the library code to Documents/Arduino/libraries/<libname> and then I include it in main sketch, and use it. I do the same thing here. Is it a requirement to use the menu?

2) Yes I have the include for Wire.h, these are the includes in the main sketch file (there is only one, rest is just plain .h .c and .cpp files):

//Global definitions
#include "GlobalDefinitions.h"

//Utility
#include <Wire.h>
#include "Bitset.h"
#include "ByteBuffer.h"
#include "ByteArray.h"
#include "Vector.h"
#include "Deque.h"
#include "smart_ptr.h"

//Time handling
#include <Time.h>
#include <DS1307RTC.h>

//GSM and connection handling
#include <Sim900.h>
#include "ConnectionHandler.h"
#include "GSMConnectionHandler.h"

//Encryption
#include <AESLib.h>
#include "AESCrypto.h"
#include "ArduinoAESCrypto.h"

//Keyboard handling
#include "KeyboardHandler.h"
#include "ArduinoKeyboardHandler.h"

//Screen reader
#include "ScreenReader.h"
#include "HD44780ScreenReader.h"

//Http handling
#include <http_parser.h>
#include "HttpPacket.h"
#include "HttpParser.h"

//Message
#include "Message.h"
#include "MessageV1.h"

//Packets
#include "Packet.h"
#include "PacketCoreV1.h"
#include "CommandPacketCoreV1.h"
#include "PacketBonusV1.h"
#include "DataPacketBonusV1.h"

//Filesystem
#include "File.h"
#include "Memory.h"
#include "EepromMemory.h"

//Controller
#include "Controller.h"

using namespace smart_ptr; 

3) Yes the outputs are from the same source code. I just open the Visual Studio project on disk and double click on the .ino file. Then it opens the whole project in Arduino IDE.

Thanks in advance for any help
