Intellisence bug ?

I have an array initialized by a local variable, and this the error I get. It compiles and uploads, all works fine but it keep appearing in error list.

Quote:
IntelliSense: expression must have a constant value


Code (C++)
Select All
short size = SomeClass::StaticMethod();
byte dataBytes[size];//shows red line below "size"



Using VS 2012 with latest version I suppose ? I checked in about and it shows 1.0. But I reinstalled it 2 days ago.

Hi,

We rely on the microsoft c++ intellisense system. This might be an incompatibility with VC++ and gcc in which case you could redefine the intellisense def to prevent the error from showing.

The _MSC_VER variables can be used quite easily

In the future microsoft are already produucing cLang and other more gcc friendly intellisense systems so we will probably start using them some time soon.
