Re: [photran] Problems with syntax highlighting with Photran
|
This is in reply to the post of Joel Marin, on Jan 11, 07. Sorry for
changing the message ID, but I subscribed to the list only after reading
the post.
The point in Joel's post was that the Fortran lexer chokes on
preprocessor #endif's, e.g.
... some code...
#ifdef foo
code2
#endif
... code3 ...
The outline view shows the error message "Lexer error (file.f90, line n,
col m): unexpected character #", and syntax highlighting stops after the
#endif. I am seeing this in Photran 3.1 installed on top of a fresh
install of eclipse 3.2.
This bug seems to be in photran's bugtraq for quite some time now:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=118967, but from what I
read in the list archives, development resources are scarce.
Can somebody point us in the right direction? Where would I have to look
if I wanted to fix the bug? Is it possible to make the lexer simply
ignore cpp-tags?
My knowledge about eclipse is very limited, but I am willing to learn. I
discovered photran some weeks ago and absolutely love it, but this bug
makes it unusable for 95 percent of the code I have to work at.
cheers,
Stefan
