    I'm evaluating UltraEdit for as a C++ editor. The function list window lists a lot of items that aren't functions - every "if"

      I'm not familiar with C++ but to help you getting an answer from the experts of this forum, please tell us:
      • Version of UE you are evaluating
      • Show us what's in the wordfile, in the C/C++ section. You'll probably find this in: C:\Program Files\IDM Computer Solutions\UltraEdit-32\wordfile.txt
      • And even: Show us an example of the code containing a few functions.
      Be sure to format the code lines as code block.

      In version 13.00a the function list definitions look like this:

      Code: Select all

      /L1"C/C++" C_LANG Line Comment = // Block Comment On = /* Block Comment Off = */ Escape Char = \ String Chars = "' File Extensions = C CPP CC CXX H HPP AWK
/Delimiters = ~!@%^&*()-+=|\/{}[]:;"'<> , .?
/Function String = "%^([a-zA-Z_0-9^[^]*]+^)[ ^t]+([^p*&:, ^t^[^]a-zA-Z_0-9.!]++)[~;]"
/Function String 1 = "%[a-zA-Z_0-9*]*::^([a-zA-Z_0-9^~]+^)[ ^t^p]++([^p*&:, ^t^[^]/*^-'=:&a-zA-Z_0-9./(!]++)[~;]"
/Function String 2 = "%[a-zA-Z_0-9][a-zA-Z_0-9^[^]]+[ ^t*]+^([a-zA-Z_0-9]+^)[ ^t]++([^p*&:, ^t^[^]a-zA-Z_0-9./(!]++)[~;]"
/Function String 3 = "%[a-zA-Z_0-9*&$^[^]*]+[ ^t]+[a-zA-Z_0-9*&$^[^]]+[ ^t*]+^([a-zA-Z_0-9]+^)[ ^t]++([^p*&:, ^t^[^]a-zA-Z_0-9./(!]++)[~;]"
/Function String 4 = "%[a-z_0-9^[^]*]++ [a-z_0-9*^[^]]+[ ^t]++[a-z_0-9*^[^]]+[ ^t]++^([*a-z_0-9]+^)[ ^t]++([^p*&:, ^t^[^]a-z_0-9./(!]++)[~;]"
/Function String 5 = "%^([a-zA-Z_0-9^[^]*]+^)[ ^t]++([^p*&:, ^t^[^]a-zA-Z_0-9./()!]++)[~;]"
      (Teaser to others reading this: UE 13.10, which is currently in beta test, will support Perl Regexp for function list definitions. And the C/C++ wordfile will have this "simple" ;-) definition:

      Code: Select all

      /L1"C/C++" C_LANG Line Comment = // Block Comment On = /* Block Comment Off = */ Escape Char = \ String Chars = "' File Extensions = C CPP CC CXX H HPP AWK
/Delimiters = ~!@%^&*()-+=|\/{}[]:;"'<> , .?
/Regexp Type = Perl
/Function String = "^(?(?=[\w\[\]\:]+[ \t]+)([\w\[\]\*:]+)[ \t]+)(?(?=[\w\[\]\*:]+[ \t]+)([\w\[\]\*:]+)[ \t]+)(?(?=[\w\[\]\*:]+[ \t]+)([\w\[\]\*:]+)[ \t]+)(?(?=[\w\[\]\*:]+[ \t]+)([\w\[\]\*:]+)[ \t]+)([\w\[\]\*:]+)[ \t]*(\((?:[\s\*&:,\[\]\w/\\]|=(?!=))*\))[ \t\{\*&:,\[\]\w/\\]*$"

        I'm using version 13.00a+2
        The word file is the same as posted above.

        Here's some sample code with comments as to what shows up in the function list:

        Code: Select all

        // UltraEdit function list test

/**********************************************************************
* main ()                                                             *
***********************************************************************/
void main(void)

{	
	
	if (option_values_2 [TEMP_FORCE_PR_EN] [Temp]==1) color = LIGHTGREY;
 else if (result_of_saf) color = YELLOW; //in function list as "f"
 else color=GREEN; 

	
}

 void function1 (void)  //in function list as "1"
	{
	int i;	
		
	}
	

void function2(void) //in function list as "function2"
 {
 int i;
 
}

/*
 void save_array(char * file_name)  //in function list as "y"
    {
    int i;
    }

 void read_array(char * file_name) //in function list as "y"
    {
    int i;
    }

  */
        The problem seems to have to do with spacing before function names and keywords. I'm trying to use it with a project that has about ten source files written by several people, so there's not a consistent style.

          Yes John,

          One of your problems is exactly to do with the whitespace in your code. The default Function lists for C++ assume that everything starts in column 1.

          If you replace "% with "%[ ^t]++ at the start of the function strings - this should solve your main problem.

          HTH,
          Paolo
          There is no such thing as an inconsistently correct system...
          Therefore, aim for consistency; in the expectation of reaching correctness!

            Got it. I copied a couple of the C/C++ wordfiles from the download section here and it's working much better. Still some comments showing up as functions, but I'll look into that some other time.

            Thanks.

            John
