Albeit being debatable horrible code, the semantic analysis parser creates an "Declaration not found: ::A" error for this piece of code: #include <iostream> struct A { A(int value = 23):i(value){}; int i; }; struct B { struct A : public ::A { A(): ::A(42){}; }; }; int main(int argc, char **argv) { A a1; B::A a2; return 0; } Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Copy-Paste the given example code into kdevelop 2. Observe the syntax highlighter creating a yellow squiggly line under "::A" 3. Move your mouse cursor over "::A" Actual Results: "Declaration not found: ::A" error tool tip Expected Results: "A( int value = 23 ) ..." tool tip
Hello! We worked 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 https://www.kdevelop.org/news/kdevelop-500-released 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 try out KDevelop 5, either by downloading it through your distro, or by playing around with the AppImage:. 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. Sorry for the inconvenience, I hope you understand the reasoning above. Cheers
