Erlang syntax file

[baryluk]

Hi, i created Erlang syntax file about 2 weeks ago, and was testing it since then. It looks quite good (but few minor syntax forms are not implemented yet, see comments in file). So considering that is is far better than nothing and actually it works, I will ask for inclusion in master branch.

Most actuall version:

​http://smp.if.uj.edu.pl/~baryluk/erlang.syntax

Syntax entries:

file ..\*\\.erl$ Erlang\sProgram  ^(-module\\(|#!.*escript)
include erlang.syntax

file ..\*\\.hrl$ Erlang\sHeader ^-record\(
include erlang.syntax

Merged as changeset:d3f1b16bcf17f5748d6faa2d3ca157de22d910ae
Take 2 merged as changeset:0cfde89dade215bcfde2ee7667e83dc0ba83a30d

patch simply: no reason for wait 4.7 release.

4.7.0-pre1 now frozen for new features - just fixing critical bugs.

This for 4.7.0-pre2.

but wait before pre1 released

I think, there is missing backslash (after record).

It sould be:

file ..\*\\.erl$ Erlang\sProgram  ^(-module\\(|#!.*escript)
include erlang.syntax

file ..\*\\.hrl$ Erlang\sHeader ^-record\\(
include erlang.syntax

Can You provide some erlang samples in tarball and patch on top of current git master?

[baryluk]

This are pretty hard samples (big and lots of syntax used).

Problems notices:

xmerl_sax_parser_utf8.erl starting at line 1294, "\"" sequence (escaped " in string).
xmerl_scan.erl starting at line 2305, also "\"" sequence

I have fix prepared (copied from C and D syntax hightling files), but need to look at erlang specification to be sure which escape sequences are allowed.

Ok, new version attached as erlang.2.syntax.
Based on ​http://www.erlang.org/doc/reference_manual/data_types.html#2.14 and D syntax file.

file escape.erl in erlang-samples.tar.gz shows now that it works. xmerl_* samples also now works properly.

New erlang syntax file (with escape sequenced in strings and atom, few dict:* functions added)
