<pre wrap="">At least for .h file this would introduce wrong behaviour as header
for C++ should be either .H or .hpp. Nevertheless this is something
you can configure on your end. Just have a look onto

The new behaviour wouldn't imho be wrong only different from the
existing. I don't see any drawbacks while handling C headers in the
same way as C++ headers apart from it isn't completely precise. Most
of the C++ projects that I know or I'm involved into name their
headers *.h and commonly only template class declarations will be put
into *.hpp there. Bye, Yves.

<pre wrap="">And what about the other tousands of C projects around? They loose
syntax support for their headers files by default.

One more note to clarify this a bit:
if we would set *.h as a C++ extension, opened C .h files would be
still highlighted of course even though as C++. From the highlighting
point of view this won't make much difference. But opening C header
files as C++ will affect the symbol parsing code and also
the autocompletions.
Additionally it might affect future changes in the build system (see
build-system branch in SVN).

Enrico

Thank you for clarifying things up a little. By now I only thought of
syntax highlighting of C as a subset of C++. <br>

Back to the ipp issue. Those files contain the general and/or
specialized template class or function implementation if it f.e. won't
be done inline. C++ template libraries contain a bunch of those
generally. BTW some time ago we already ask Neil Hodgson to add it into
Scite and he did.<br>
