[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Geany do not show really function name on left panel (#1172)

[elextr]

Oh I see what you mean, you have syntax like:

```
#define g(a) ...
void f( g(h) a ){}
```

But without C pre-processing the second line is illegal C/C++ syntax so the parser is confused and generates the wrong symbol.

To quote the Geany maintainer "Its very unlikely that pre-processing will be done" so its probably going to remain a limitation.

But a better way to do this (in C++) is to use an alias:

```
template <typename T> using shared_ptr = std::shared_ptr<T>;
void func( shared_ptr<T1> t1 ) {}
```

That is subject to bug #975 but at least it doesn't confuse the parser and isn't an evil macro.
