Function list problems with C++ files

[apostrophe]

I'm evaluating UltraEdit for as a C++ editor. The function list window lists a lot of items that aren't functions - every "if"

I'm not familiar with C++ but to help you getting an answer from the experts of this forum, please tell us:

• Version of UE you are evaluating
• Show us what's in the wordfile, in the C/C++ section. You'll probably find this in: C:\Program Files\IDM Computer Solutions\UltraEdit-32\wordfile.txt
• And even: Show us an example of the code containing a few functions.

Be sure to embed code in the bbcode tags: [code][/code]

In version 13.00a the function list definitions look like this:

Code: Select all

/L1"C/C++" C_LANG Line Comment = // Block Comment On = /* Block Comment Off = */ Escape Char = \ String Chars = "' File Extensions = C CPP CC CXX H HPP AWK
/Delimiters = ~!@%^&*()-+=|\/{}[]:;"'<> ,   .?
/Function String = "%^([a-zA-Z_0-9^[^]*]+^)[ ^t]+([^p*&:, ^t^[^]a-zA-Z_0-9.!]++)[~;]"
/Function String 1 = "%[a-zA-Z_0-9*]*::^([a-zA-Z_0-9^~]+^)[ ^t^p]++([^p*&:, ^t^[^]/*^-'=:&a-zA-Z_0-9./(!]++)[~;]"
/Function String 2 = "%[a-zA-Z_0-9][a-zA-Z_0-9^[^]]+[ ^t*]+^([a-zA-Z_0-9]+^)[ ^t]++([^p*&:, ^t^[^]a-zA-Z_0-9./(!]++)[~;]"
/Function String 3 = "%[a-zA-Z_0-9*&$^[^]*]+[ ^t]+[a-zA-Z_0-9*&$^[^]]+[ ^t*]+^([a-zA-Z_0-9]+^)[ ^t]++([^p*&:, ^t^[^]a-zA-Z_0-9./(!]++)[~;]"
/Function String 4 = "%[a-z_0-9^[^]*]++ [a-z_0-9*^[^]]+[ ^t]++[a-z_0-9*^[^]]+[ ^t]++^([*a-z_0-9]+^)[ ^t]++([^p*&:, ^t^[^]a-z_0-9./(!]++)[~;]"
/Function String 5 = "%^([a-zA-Z_0-9^[^]*]+^)[ ^t]++([^p*&:, ^t^[^]a-zA-Z_0-9./()!]++)[~;]"

(Teaser to others reading this: - UE 13.10, which are currently in beta test, will support Perl Regexp for function list definitions. And the C/C++ will have this "simple" definition:

Code: Select all

/L1"C/C++" C_LANG Line Comment = // Block Comment On = /* Block Comment Off = */ Escape Char = \ String Chars = "' File Extensions = C CPP CC CXX H HPP AWK
/Delimiters = ~!@%^&*()-+=|\/{}[]:;"'<> ,   .?
/Regexp Type = Perl
/Function String = "^(?(?=[\w\[\]\:]+[ \t]+)([\w\[\]\*:]+)[ \t]+)(?(?=[\w\[\]\*:]+[ \t]+)([\w\[\]\*:]+)[ \t]+)(?(?=[\w\[\]\*:]+[ \t]+)([\w\[\]\*:]+)[ \t]+)(?(?=[\w\[\]\*:]+[ \t]+)([\w\[\]\*:]+)[ \t]+)([\w\[\]\*:]+)[ \t]*(\((?:[\s\*&:,\[\]\w/\\]|=(?!=))*\))[ \t\{\*&:,\[\]\w/\\]*$"

I'm using version 13.00a+2
The word file is the same as posted above.

Here's some sample code with comments as to what shows up in the function list:

Code: Select all

// UltraEdit function list test

/**********************************************************************
* main ()                                                             *
***********************************************************************/
void main(void)

{   
   
   if (option_values_2 [TEMP_FORCE_PR_EN] [Temp]==1) color = LIGHTGREY;
 else if (result_of_saf) color = YELLOW; //in function list as "f"
 else color=GREEN;

   
}

 void function1 (void)  //in function list as "1"
   {
   int i;   
      
   }
   

void function2(void) //in function list as "function2"
 {
 int i;
 
}

/*
 void save_array(char * file_name)  //in function list as "y"
    {
    int i;
    }

 void read_array(char * file_name) //in function list as "y"
    {
    int i;
    }

  */

The problem seems to have to do with spacing before function names and keywords. I'm trying to use it with a project that has about ten source files written by several people, so there's not a consistent style.

Yes John,

One of your problems is exactly to do with the whitespace in your code. The default Function lists for C++ assume that everything starts in column 1.

If you replace "% with "%[ ^t]++ at the start of the function strings - this should solve your main problem.

HTH,
Paolo

Got it. I copied a couple of the C/C++ wordfiles from the download section here and it's working much better. Still some comments showing up as functions, but I'll look into that some other time.

Thanks.
