Hi, Im using geany 1.37.1 on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. I did some searches for this issue and haven't found anything related. I have noticed that geany doesn't detect certain function symbols depending on what kind of macro is before it. For Example: detected - WINAPI AllocConsole(void); not detected- WINAPI_(ULONG) GetCurrentProcessId(void);
i have included the screenshot of where GetCurrentProcessId() should be but isn't. Thanks. 
The symbol parsers do not read include files (presumably where your macro is defined) so they don't know its a macro and even if its local they don't get expanded.
Your example looks like `function(something) another_function(void)` which is incorrect syntax and so `another_function()` is not parsed as a symbol.
Ah that explains it then. I thought, after looking through symbol.c, it looked like geany might be using gcc to preprocess the file before parsing symbols but I didnt dig to deep. I suppose ill change my macros to the couple different cases where winAPI doesnt return int. Thanks for your reply.
The C preprocessor is used for the offline making of tag files that can combine a whole library of includes, not the as-you-type generation of symbols which has to be fast so its not intrusive.
Closed #2763.
