Description Jan Pohanka

Build Identifier: 20110615-0604

Using following test c file, struct members are not offered by content assist in struct declaration. In a large project like linux kernel content assist fails. (Proposals are enabled in settings)

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

struct foo {
	int a;
	float b;
	double c;
};

struct foo bar = {
    . CONTENT ASSIST DOES NOT OFFER STRUCT MEMBERS HERE
};

int main(void) {
        bar.a = 1; /* a member was correctly offered here */
	puts("!!!Hello World!!!"); /* prints !!!Hello World!!! */
	return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a sample test c file with struct declaration like in details.
2. Press ctrl+space after . in struct bar definition.

Content assist works for global designated initializers, but not for initializers within a function. See example

struct foo {
	int x;
	int y;
	int z;
};

struct foo bar = {
		.x = 0,
		.y = 1, /* content assist works here */
};

int main()
{
	struct foo bar2 = {
			. /* no default proposal */
	};


	return 0;
}

This is a different issue, I currently don't have the time to look into it.

I made a clean install of Eclipse Indigo on Windows with CDT 8.0.2 and it seems that content assist for designated initializers does not work again. Tried also in Juno and situation is the same.
