Hi, earlier in the week I installed VS2019 + vMicro extension for a test drive (W10 system).   Thought I might want to move from Atmel Studio 7 to VS2019.

I was able to display, edit and compile .ino files.  I noticed two issues and would appreciate your advice.

1.  compile error messages (bottom window) show source code line numbers, which do not correspond to the line numbers in the editor window.  Please let me know if I need to update a VS configuration menu, to have them match.

2.  Intellsense doesn't recognize uint32_t notation.  (The compiler doesn't complain about this notation.)  Is there a way to update a definitions file to have intellsense recognize this notation?  I know I could substitute 'unsigned long' but I like the other notation because it reminds me how many bits I've allocated for a variable. Intellsense does recognize uint16_, uint8_t.

Thanks.

Hi, Regarding item one.  I've attached a file with compiler output + error message (verbose mode).  It has abstracted source code at bottom, showing sections involving the error.

This code compiles without error in the arduino IDE.

I thought the error with wrong line number might be specific to this type of error.  So, I rewrote the code, making the c++ structure a global variable, no longer passing the object to the function.   This eliminated the error.

I then created a few simple syntax errors in the code.  These produced errors, with the CORRECT line numbers.  So, I think the original error is an oddball (or a coding error) and may not be worth chasing down.  I have a couple of good workarounds.

I appreciate your quick response to my first post.
Thanks again.
