SYMPTOMS

If a function definition is moved to a different place in a source file, navigating to that function from ClassView will no longer work. ClassView will jump to the line in the source file where the function used to be defined.

CAUSE

ClassView uses bookmarks to determine where to jump to in the file. The bookmarks are not updated until the file is saved.

RESOLUTION

Save the source file.

Visual C++ 6.0 dynamically updates the information in ClassView, so saving the source file is unnecessary for the updated location to be recognized.

STATUS

This problem was corrected in Microsoft Visual C++, version 6.0.

MORE INFORMATION

To observe this behavior, save the following sample file. Move one of the function definitions to a different line, and then attempt to use ClassView to navigate to that function

Sample Code

   /* Compile options needed: none
   */ 

   class TestClass {
   public:
      void FuncA( void );
      void FuncB( void );
      void FuncC( void );
      TestClass(){;}
      ~TestClass(){;}
   };
   void TestClass::FuncA( void ){}
   void TestClass::FuncB( void ){}
   void TestClass::FuncC( void ){}
