Hello.
New on this forum, we use Fortran 77 and a little bit of C since some years now, on UNIX and Windows platforms, and from the command line until now.
Never too late, we are trying to move to Visual Studio 2015 (2015 is a pre-requisite for other softs) to be more comfortable on Windows (we already use Intel Fortran 2015).
I hoped to get advantage of IntelliSense in Visual Studio. But it seems its scope is limited to one project, and does not apply to an entire solution.
For example, my solution has a "static library" project with 2 files suba.f and subb.f for subroutines suba and subb, and a "console application" project for the main, which is calling suba, which is calling subb.
When I edit suba and select "subb", I get IntelliSense for subb, "goto definition" opens subb.f, and "find all references" finds the call in suba.f and the subroutine in subb.f.
But when I edit main and select "suba", I have no IntelliSense available for suba, "go to definition" does nothing, and "find all references" finds only the "call suba" in main.
Is there a way to use all these tools across all the projects of a solution ?
My settings under Tools > Options > Text Editor > Fortran > Advanced :
- disable database = false
- enable database saving/loading = true
- enable find all references = true
- enable go to definition = true
Is there something else to set ?
Sorry if this question was already asked ...

Hi Thierry, I can confirm this behavior for the case, that there is in a single file a program and subroutine/modules. In the example below t_QUAD4 'goto definition' does nothing. I assume that this is similar to the behavior you mentioned and caused by the same implementation issue. edit: I use PSXE2019 update 5 on VS Pro 2017 (15.9.16).
Unfortunately, the support of IntelliSense like features (for Fortran it's an extension written by Intel) is, let's say, 'uncomplete'. Over the last years I've seen some improvement but no real step forward. If you like to have these features Code::Blocks for Fortran (version from Darius Markauskas) is the best implementation I've seen and it's OpenSource! I've recently seen NetBeans' CLion/PyCharm Fortran plugin to be also an alternative. All of them are cross platform IDEs.
Nevertheless, you might want to open a ticket for this case.
