Function List - Nesting

[nosbor]

hi

is this possible in function list view?

for example say i have the following c function definition :

void main_program(int in){

call_function_1();
call_function_2();
...
}


then in the function list it would show up as follows:

main_program
...call_function_1
...call_function_2

only one level of nesting would be good enough.

thanks

No, nesting is not possible. And call_function_1(); is not a function definition, it is a call of a function. Normally only function definitions (should be) are in the function list.

I agree with Mofi that the function list generally should contain, well function definitions.

But I work with NATURAL source code and beside functions (SUBROUTINES) I want some other constructs of the language in my function list nested and indented.

So I right click in the function list and remove the checkmark from the "sort list" option.

Then I make sure that the other language constructs "capture" whitespace in front of the command. Example:
/Function String = "^\d{4} DEFINE SUBROUTINE[ ]+([\w_\-]+)"
...
/Function String 3 = "^\d{4}[ ]*?([ ]CALLNAT[ ]+[']?[\w\-]+[']?)"
...

Notice that I capture a blank in front of CALLNAT:
([ ]CALLNAT
which indents the CALLNAT (function call) slightly from the functions in the function list.

It looks something like this:

Code: Select all

A-STACK-FUNKTIONSNAVNE
   STACK COMMAND 'FOOO-P82'
E-RETTELSE-TIL-TEKST
   CALLNAT 'NFOOBAR0'
F-KONTROLLER

(more than one whitespace is added to better illustrate my point).

A 'dirty' workaround but it's ok for my use.

So if you are able to write a pattern that will match your function calls in your C code you should be able to do the same when you integrate it into the existing C wordfile definition (search for "Syntax Highlighting" in the UE help for more info.).

thanks i will try to implement something now i know there is a sort of solution to it.
