Hello! We are working on a new clang-based C/C++ language plugin for KDevelop 5 which supersedes the old C++ plugin in KDevelop 4. See e.g.: https://www.kdevelop.org/news/first-beta-release-kdevelop-500-available Due to a lack of manpower, we cannot fix bugs in the old C++ plugin. We rather want to supply a good Clang based C++ experience for KDevelop 5 than wasting our time on the legacy C++ support for KDevelop 4. With the new clang-based C/C++ language plugin, the bug presented here does not occur. In my testing. For these reasons, I'll close this bug. Please stay tuned for KDevelop 5. If you think this bug is applicable to Clang/KDevelop 5, please reopen the report and add new information on how to reproduce the bug there. |
I just discovered that "int(foo);" as a lone statement (not in the middle of an expression) is equivalent to "int foo;", declaring a variable called 'foo' with type 'int'. KDevelop doesn't support this, and underlines 'foo' in yellow. It probably thinks it's a cast. The strange thing is that in this code snippet: int func(double foo) { int(foo); } if the function parameter is called the same as the variable, then KDevelop does *not* underline the second 'foo' in yellow as an error. However, it says both are different variables, so it doesn't seem to be interpreting it as a cast either... (the correct way for a compiler to handle this code is to error out because a local variable is declared with the same name as an argument)
