I work in the Visual Studio IDE. I inhered some C code where a lot of macros are defined: it's like a cascade of macros are referring to some other replacement, again referring to some other replacement.
However when I press F12 (See/Go to Definition) on one of these "variables" (I don't know how to call them), I end up in the right file, but on the wrong line. Any idea how to fix this?
Below some example:
So f is a pointer of type Fichiers that stores the memory address of an instance of class Fichiers, namely Fichiers (which is an object).
Name Value Type
_f_->input.produit_1[0].actu.desc_prod.c_tarif 70 int
Some relevant pieces of code
#define _f_NUMERO_TT (_f_PARM_PROD.actu.desc_prod.num_TT) // _f_->input.produit_1[0].actu.desc_prod.num_TT
#define _f_PARM_PROD (_f_INPUTS.produit_1[PACKAGE_PRODUIT_BASE])
struct Inputs
{
#define _f_INPUTS (_f_->input)
struct ParametersInputs
{
#define _f_PARAMETERS (_f_INPUTS.parameter) //_f_->input.parameter
DATE date_fichiers;
DATE date_fichiers_pp;
...
So instead of pasting "_f_NUMERO_TT" I need to replace it everywhere with
_f_->input.produit_1[0].actu.desc_prod.num_TT
