DoxyIT on 64bit: Access violation

[Clicketyclick]

I’m very fond of DoxyIT - but…

It seem only to work under NotePad++ 32bit.

When upgrading to 64 bit I get the error:

PlutinsManager::runPluginCommand Exception
Access violation

Is DoxyIT an 32bit only - or am I missing out something?

DoxyIT hasn’t been updated in 4 years, so that’s probably part of the issue.

You might want to try NppLspClient, because:

• it can also display docstrings when you hover over a method call
• unlike DoxyIt it actually will be syntax-sensitive.
• it has been recently updated

In any case, the error message you typically get when you use a 32bit plugin for 64bit Notepad++ or vice versa is typically different, and it looks like this:

---------------------------
C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\CSVLint\CSVLint.dll
---------------------------
Cannot load 32-bit plugin.

CSVLint.dll is not compatible with the current version of Notepad++.

Do you want to remove this plugin from the plugins directory to prevent this message from the next launch?
---------------------------
Yes   No   
---------------------------

Given the different message and the long time since this plugin was updated, it probably interfaces with deprecated Scintilla and Notepad++ methods, and when the plugin tries to communicate with Notepad++, Notepad++ doesn’t understand what it is saying.

You’re missing this issue, which sounds like the same problem. It was raised in July of 2022 and has not been addressed.

A comment to that issue describes a fork which updates the plugin, so you might want to try that. Unfortunately it doesn’t appear to be maintained, either, nor has the person who forked it done a pull request to the original. (The owner of the original appears to remain active in other projects, but perhaps has lost interest in this one, so it might not matter.)

@Coises Well - this no not maintained either.
Think I go for Snippets plugin instead.

@Clicketyclick Well I caved in and build myself a Python 2 script that does the job - for me at least. It’s available on my Github: clicketyclick.github.io/TipsAndTricks/Notepad++/Doxyit
