Scintilla Use
by Matthew Brush 22 Mar '18

22 Mar '18

Hi, Going forward, are we going to use the Scintilla LongTerm3 branch or v4.x releases? If LongTerm3, is there any opposition to integrating the new LPeg lexer so we can use/write lexers in Lua/PEG? I might be interested in working on this if it's not going to be controversial. Regards, Matthew Brush

Why has the universal ctags project to be merged?
by Lars Paulsen 21 Mar '18

Hello, I have got a maybe stupid question out of curiosity: Why needs the universal ctags project be merged into Geany instead of e.g. just copying it over? I guess the reason is not that we do not trust their test quality ;-) Greetings, Lars

How are ctags used?
by Lars Paulsen 19 Mar '18

19 Mar '18

Hello, I have got a question regarding the design of Geany or better say how do the components work together regarding ctags. I think I understood that ctags files can contain global tag definitions, e.g. for external APIs. Lexers are there for the syntax highlighting. Scintilla is the editor component. But which part parses the code at the current cursor position during typing to decide when an existing ctag shall be displayed in a calltip? E.g. the user types "printf(" and the argument list appears (read from ctags). Where is the parsing/recognition of the "printf(" done? Thanks in advance. Greetings, Lars
