Description (last modified by ossi) (diff)

Original submission:

highlighting c++ keywords like "class", "new", etc. in plain c 
files is outright wrong and consequently annoying.

the only problem are .h files, as their language is not obvious 
from the extension. i think the presence of class definitions is a 
sufficient criterion for c++, but recognizing them reliably 
requires a minimal parser - even regexps won't do ...

ps: don't tell me i shouldn't be using c++ keywords in c headers, 
because the header might be included in c++ files later - this is 
my business.

So use .hpp for C++ header files ;-)

So use .hpp for C++ header files ;-)

Or choose F9 -> Options -> Syntax Highlighting...

:)

Is this ticket INVALID?

My suggestion would be instead of closing it as invalid, use the attached patch in order to differenciate between c and cpp files.

.h files are parsed as c++ files per default.

Any comments on this patch?

Strange line 76 in patch...

Replying to slavazanko:

Strange line 76 in patch...

This is about highlighting e.g comments which are not catched by the keywords above.. therefore I think this should be okay

comment:5 Changed 16 years ago by slavazanko

Strange line 76 in patch...

Additional:
Strange line No 76 in syntax/cxx.syntax
Only for English, Spain, Germany,.. Not for Japan, Taiwan, Russian, Hebrew, etc.

But patch like to me in any case.
