Syntax Highlighting Problem

[CppL]

Problem: Syntax Highlighting.
Specs : CodeLite 7.0(The Official Release/Build), WinXp SP3 (32-bit).
Lang : C++.

It looks like CL treats everything after R" as a raw string in C++!
In Colours and Fonts->Syntax Highlight->c++/javascript->Customize
->Raw String Foreground Colour = rgb(128,0,0).

Code: Select all

// C++ Code Example
// ... Normal ...
const char *const raw_string = R"(Raw String)";
// Starting       from       here ^ the rest of the file is rgb(128,0,0) colored!

It looks like a bug in wxWidgets.
As CodeLite uses wxStyledTextCtrl which uses the underlying control Scintilla version 3.4.1
I see that this was fixed in scintilla v3.4.4 (see here: http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaHistory.html)

We can only open a bug to wxWidgets and wait for them to update their bundled version

Oh, I see, Thanks.

I might fork wxWidgets and fix this myself (and uploading a pull request)

FYI: I just updated wxwidgets (Windows, Scintilla 3.5.5)
and the problem is fixed. It should be available on the next weekly build.

Note that this problem will persist until wx3.2 is available for Linux
