- Known bugs and limitations in Project Analyzer 3.0.x
-
- Please let me know of any bugs you find.
-
- ==================================
- Known misbehaviour and limitations
- ==================================
-
- - The size of variable, constant and procedure names is restricted to 64
- characters. Longer names are truncated.
- - Long lines don't word wrap on most reports
- - Reports to .wri files look ugly - use .txt or .rtf instead
- - Some add-in functions (like ConnectAddIn) may show "dead"
- - Constant references in the (declarations) section are not interpreted.
- This may cause the following code to show WM_USER as a "dead" const:
- Global Const WM_USER = xyz
- Global Const WM_HELLO = WM_USER + 1
- - ReDim MyTable(N) inside a procedure may be interpreted
- as a new local array, even if it's a dynamic global array.
- This is not a problem with module-level arrays.
-
- - 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
- - May produce OUT OF MEMORY or SUBSCRIPT OUT OF RANGE during analysis of
- extremely large projects.
- *** PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU EXPERIENCE THESE ERRORS ***
-
- =======================
- 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.
- - Picture types may look strange, like (Icon) when it isn't an icon
- - 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 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)
