Hello richferrara!
Althoug you have the browsing information generation policy set to 'On edit' in the Environment settings, depending on how large your project and source code layout, this can easily happen, because if CVI doesn't find a definition for the function in your current active project, it will try to place the cursor to the function prototype instead. There are several cases in which this can happen:
- Browsing information has not been generated completely for the entire project yet (perhaps your project is large and CVI requires more time to parse the other source files from your project). You should wait until browsing information has been generated completely for the entire project.
- The source file, where the function definition is located is not included in the project build (perhaps it is excluded), or the source file simply doesn't belong to the project (i.e. it's not present in the Project Tree).
- There are compiling errors in your code, at the location of the function definition, which can cause the parsing to fail for that part of the code, so CVI isn't able to extract browsing information for that area.
- #ifdefs in your source code may have excluded that area from the code parsing.
If none of the above apply, please send us a description of your exact project layout:
- How and which the files are included in the project?
- Where (in which files) are the function definition, function prototype and place from which you are invoking <Ctrl+I> to go to the definition, in your project.
Thank you!
