uint8_t confusion using vMicro + Resharper C++ (Read 5164 times)

	I'm using VS15.6.4 (2017), vMicro 1803.26.0 and Resharper Ultimate 2017.3.5. After creating a new arduino project and adding some code or just opening an existing arduino IDE project, VS complains about uint8_t being an ambiguous symbol, while it finds 2 definitions for it. 1 being in the vMicro generated vsarduino header typedef unsigned char uint8_t; and the other inside stdint.h (located in the arduino folder) Now, what confuses me the most is that these appear to be wrong for an avr cpu, while the avr specific typedefs a few lines above are disabled by preprocessor Is there some clarification regarding this?

	Hi, The compile and the intellisense are two separate things. You are looking at intellisense which piggy backs standard visual studio c++ Some boards have a uint8_t def that VS can't find or does not understand. Visual Micro attempts to show that. Intellisense will not be 100% until we find an alternative c++ engine however we can improve things most of the time. Each hardware and core implements types such as uint8_t in a different way. So please state which hardware you are using. Thanks

	Hi, I know and the compilation runs just fine but all red code and all sorts of aftereffects are still bothersome when programming. As already mentioned, I'm using an AVR based board and chose Arduino Mega (2560) in vMicro.

	Thanks for the info. Visual micro doesn't define the uint8_t in the vsarduino.h Questions ... Can you please be clearer about the source file location and also post your vsarduino.h header file? Confirm the vsrarduino.h contains the same name as your project Confirm you only have one vsarduino.h in the project and that it is in the \_vm folder Confirm that when you switch to a different board using the tool bar the vsarduino.h is recreated?

	Thanks for being that active and caring. I was talking about stdint.h, where VS found the definition of uint8_t. It is located in \hardware\tools\avr\avr\include\stdint.h of the arduino IDE installation. I can confirm all of your other questions (the vsarduino header even gets rebuilt every compilation). Here is my vsarduino file: https://hastebin.com/ezujejuwol.cpp
