Intellisense Not Working Correctly in VS2015

Tim,

I used Atmel Studio for several years, and IntelliSense always worked correctly.  Since switching to VS2015, it no longer works correctly.  Symbols defined in external libraries are often unknown to IntelliSense.  Most annoying is that IntelliSense insists printf does not exist in Stream, and auto-replaces instance of printf with iprintf (whatever that is).  I don't know if this is just a bug in VS2015, or something induced by VM, but though I'd ask if you have any insight.

Regards,
Ray L.

Hi Ray,

I wasn't ignoring you but working.

It's important to report the arduino ide version you are using when making intellisense reports and also which version of the tool chain you installed. 

Thanks

Tim,

Arduino IDE is v1.6.5.  Also using Due.  By "toolchain" you mean VisualMicro?  It's 1.1511.21.  This has been an issue with every version I've used since switching to VS2015.

I did notice today that the VSArduino.h file contains this line (why, I don't know....):

#define printf iprintf

I assume this is the root of the printf issues, but I still have the problem with symbols within most libraries being unknown to Intellisense, even when I'm editing those libraries.

Regards,
Ray L.

Please create a new thread with your question. It's not possible to answer two different users or different experiences in the same thread.

Thanks very much, I will remove your posts so please do recreate

@Ray please confirm you are using the Arduino Due?

Dear Administrator

Thank you so much for your quick response. 

I also checked for you if switching once between boards or release/debug refreshes the project intellisense, to no avail unfortunately. 

I have shared my test project 
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B1cGoLAFOALQUEY2b1NLZjNmdVk&usp=sharing

I hope this can also help.

Thank you for your help and work. VisualMicro sure helps a lot!

Ray,

The define in vsarduino seemed to be a hang over from the past and not needed.

I have removed it in this mornings release of Visual Micro so should be okay now.

I do need to spend time validating the Due intellisense which hasn't been done for a while. You can experiment by removing or adding to the vsarduino.h. It will be overwritten when you try to build or make certain project changes but it's useful for testing. Let me know if you find anything that helps, I can add to the std release. Thanks

off-topic question:-
Have you got a jtag adapter for your Due?

Just for other users FYI.

Got my debugger working again by doing the following:

1. I uninstalled VisualMicro from Visual Studio 2015. 
2. Removed Arduino IDE (1.6.6)
3. Restart PC
4. Installed Arduino IDE 1.6.7
5. Installed VisualMicro from Visual Studio 2015 (via     Tools>Extentions and Updates, go to online of the left menu and search for VisualMicro).

6. Everything is working again.  Cheesy

Thank you Tim for all your help and assistance, it is much appreciated.

Tim,

No, I don't have a JTAG adaptor - I just use the Programming Port.

Would having a JTAG adaptor give me more debug capability?

Only if you have spare time to experiment

I recently released openocd and gdb support for the zero and a Texas instruments board

They were the two boards I had immediately available and work via usb

The connection can be defined in local config so it is possible to add the startup commands for the due and jtag

Getting the commands from the internet and starting debug using a.command window will prove the debug works

Then the cm config can be updated and debug should work

Search for gdb on VisualMicro.com sometime if applicable
