[cdt-dev] C99 overriding GCC language
|
Hi,
I posted this comment to bug #186834
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=186834).
It hasn't gotten any feedback yet so I'm cross-posting it to the dev
list...
The problem is that the C99 language feature sometimes gets chosen as the
default language for the C content type. This is not desirable as the brand
new C99 parser is not yet as fast and robust as the DOM C parser.
My proposed solution is to simply remove the content type mappings from the
C99 language in the plugin.xml.
The problem is that when I do this I get the following warning: "a minimum
of 1
'contentType' elements must be specified".
Does anyone know if there will be any adverse affects of having a language
without having a content type mapped to it in the plugin.xml?
One workaround would be to add a .c99 content type. But this seems
unnecessary
and adds clutter to the language mappings gui. Reusing existing content
types
is not a solution because that's what's causing this bug in the first
place.
Is there any reason not to change the schema for the language extension
point
to allow 0 contentType elements?
