SYMPTOMS
========

While browsing for a member function of a C++ class, the browser 'References'
list may not show the source line in which the address of the function is taken.
See the sample code for an example.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article. This bug was corrected in Visual C++ version 5.0.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The following sample code illustrates that the browser correctly shows all the
references to a member variable, but it doesn't show the references to a member
function where the address of the member function is taken.

Sample Code
-----------

     /* Compile options needed: /FR
     */ 

     class CTest
     {
     public:
        // Member function
        void MemFunc();
        // Member variable
        int m_i;
     };

     void CTest::MemFunc()
     {
     }

     // When you browse (Tools/Browse Menu) for the symbol 'MemFunc',
     // the 'References' list shows all the lines where 'MemFunc' is
     // referenced EXCEPT for the following source line.

     // Pointer to member function
     void (CTest::*pmfn)() = &CTest::MemFunc;

     // When you browse for the symbol 'm_i', the 'References' list
     // shows all the lines INCLUDING the following source line.

     // Pointer to member variable
     int CTest::*pmint = &CTest::m_i;

     void main()
     {
        CTest testObj;
        testObj.MemFunc();
        int j = testObj.m_i;
     }
