Post Body

So I have a strange error with MSVS' intellisense when doing something like this:

class Thing{
    typedef std::map<int, vector<int>> myMap;
public:
    std::unique_ptr<myMap> memberMap;

[...] };

In some method, I want to call an element from memberMap, which works fine with

int fromMap = (*memberMap)[mapIndex][vectorIndex];

but throws Expected a member name when I do

int fromMap = this->(*memberMap)[mapIndex][vectorIndex];
