<p dir="auto">yeah, some contributors were improving them when there was no upstream. But they stopped before an upstream became available. Probably would be nice to share upstream.</p>

<p dir="auto">The "better" part is mostly the ability of Geany's c.c to give return type of functions and types of global variables which is missing in the upstream c.c. The problem is that this is done in a rather hacky way to just record the part that might be a type in the preprocessor, keeping it completely unparsed, cleaning it from possible comments inside, and then presenting it as a type. The upstream c.c. is using a different preprocessor (<code>cpreprocessor.c</code> like the cxx parser, not the old <code>lcpp</code> that Geany uses for c.c) and I'm not sure they would be interested in the solution Geany uses.</p>
