code completion is not working with C-like structure definition

[coder]

I found a problem with Codeblocks, which is very critical for all C developers.

When I declare structure like this:

typedef struct My_test_struct My_test_struct_t;

struct My_test_struct
{
   int nElement1;
   int nElement2;
};

, code completion is not able to show elements:

   My_test_struct_t a;
   a.

But, if structure is declared like this:
typedef struct
{
   int nElement1;
   int nElement2;
}My_test_struct_t;

, then it works perfect:

   My_test_struct_t a;

   a.
     nElement1
     nElement2

I think for all C-developers is very important to extend "code completion" to make completion feature working also in case of C-like structure definition.

Hi,

try several time rebuild project. And try get access to the your functions.

access to the functions in my project is OK, in the "symbols browser" I can see all functions, and also when i type the name of function, autocompletion is working.

I agree, I have the same problem :

typedef struct My_test_struct My_test_struct_t;

struct My_test_struct
{
   int nElement1;
   int nElement2;
};

My_test_struct_t a;
a.

question to developers of codeblocks and code completion plugin: any plans to fix this in the near feature?

An answer of a normal user (not a C::B developer):

CodeCompletion gets currently redesigned.
