- Known bugs and limitations in Project Analyzer 3.1.x
-
- Please report any new bugs to vbshop@aivosto.com.
-
- ===========
- Limitations
- ===========
-
- - In the 16-bit version, the number of certain things (like vars/consts
- and references) is limited to 32767. If you encounter this problem,
- use the 32-bit version
- - The size of variable, constant and procedure names is restricted to 64
- characters to save some memory. Longer names are truncated.
- - VB 5.0 is not supported by Project Analyzer 3.x. Project Analyzer 4.x
- and later support it.
-
- ==================
- Known misbehaviour
- ==================
-
- - Long lines don't word wrap on some report types
- - Reports to .wri files look ugly
- - Long procedural call tree reports (All procedures) can hang the computer
- - "Sub [Dis]ConnectAddIn" is never "dead" even if your app is not an add-in
- - In the hypertext window, letters in DefType statements may be
- mistaken for one-letter variable names
- - MyClass.MyProperty = 987 works OK (MyProperty Let), but
- MyClass(123).MyProperty = 987 doesn't (thinks it's MyProperty Get)
- Problem with subscript.
-
- - In the hypertext window, if you have two different definitions with the
- same name (e.g. Form1.MyVar and Form2.MyVar), the program may
- highlight the both in red when the other one is highlighted
-
- - VB 3.0: The Summary report shows somewhat distorted figures for
- 1. Global Name Table: Type definitions and DLLs declarations are
- not calculated correctly.
- 2. Global Symbol Table: type definitions are excluded, and everything
- else is assumed to take 10 bytes of memory.
- Use freeware VB Space (by Gregg Irwin) for more exact calculations
-
- =======================
- Unsupported VB 4.0 code
- =======================
-
- - Compiler directives (#if xyz then)
- - Line continuation character "_"
-
- ========================
- Deficiencies in FRX view
- ========================
-
- - Shows only graphical data.
- Textual data (like the List property of a ListBox) is not shown.
- - May incorrectly report (Icon) instead of (Bitmap)
- - Doesn't understand if one control has more than 1 picture
- => Shows only one picture
- - Understands the following properties: .Picture, .Icon and .MouseIcon
- - Can't handle SSCommand.Picture. Seems to me that these pictures
- are stored differently
-
- ================
- For best results
- ================
-
- - Always declare your local variables (use Option Explicit)
- - Always save your files as text (VB 3.0)
- - Use MS Word as RTF editor
- - Wait for the analysis to end completely (it has 2 phases)
