Good day!
My name is Ivan Zelinskiy.
Who am I?
First of all I am a practicing FPGA developer writing my code in Verilog and SystemVerilog. I also know C/C++.
Secondary I am a geany user, as it's my favorite editor in Linux - the OS (of choice!) of my workstation.
As a result of the former two statements, I support my own branch of patched geany, gradually fixing issues, "paper-cuts", extending language support beyond the mainstream features.
It was a steady gradual process, the first commit of my branch dates back to 2015. It all started with fixing "localparam" keyword, that would not highlight properly in /data/filedefs/filetypes.verilog. It all ended in rewriting a good part of /ctags/parsers/verilog.c to fix tag generation to include some SystemVerilog features and implement a better support for classical Verilog constructs, that would otherwise often produce "haywire" results while being parsed.
The complete list of changes is to be created =).
My branch of geany is published on github: https://github.com/ivzeivze/geany
It's a diff-patched geany/master, that is back-merged to my local historical branch, kept out of public sight (it's messy! =)) I am currently testing the changes, introduced by exporting, by means of everyday use. But it seems pretty stable.
I would be glad to see my work merged back into mainstream geany. Yet likely some clean up should be done before issuing a pull request.
With best regards to devel subscribers,
Ivan Zelinskiy.
Hello and welcome!
