I'm working on C++ numerical computing and need to use heavily templated libraries for performance.

The problem is netbeans code parser fails to resolve some identifiers, mainly member function of templated objects. It can resolve the name of the templated objects but not the member functions.

I have tested with Eigen and Blitz++. Eigen (http://eigen.tuxfamily.org/index.php?title=Main_Page) is a very small header-files-only library and the problem can be reproduced with a piece of simple code: (Identifier "Random" and "row" not resolved. I did order netbeans to reparse the project.)

*****************************code****************************
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <eigen3/Eigen/Dense> //need Eigen head files

using namespace std;
using namespace Eigen;

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    MatrixXd mat(MatrixXd::Random(4, 4)); //Unable to resolve identifier Random
    cout << mat.row(2) << endl; //Unable to resolve identifier row
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
*****************************code***************************

Note not all templated object will suffer from this problem. For instance, STL vector work without such problem. Probably because STL objects are not so heavily templated as high performance numerical libraries like Eigen and Blitz.

I also tested with other IDEs on linux. Eclipse+CDT worked perfectly while Kdevelop behaved similarly to Netbeans.
