If you project has two patterns and one is very big, switching providers
while the big file is being highlighted makes the small one skip its own
coloring. The error was caused by a failure to interrupt the ongoing
lengthy highlighting process in a timely manner. It appears that calling
task interrupt allows the task to run to completion and when the task
runs to completion then the retrying mechanism is not trigger and the
small pattern never has a task assigned for coloring.
This was fixed by creating a variable that signals the intention to
interrupt the current highlighting process. The most used function in
the highlighter (used to update the current token) checks the variable
and throws an out of range exception causing the interruption of the
current highlighter and triggering the retry mechanic.
Reorganized source code into files named in the fashion of imhex and
split large functions into smaller ones. Moved all function definitions
out of the header except for one-liners. All variable types were
switched to use imHex standard (u8,...) and removed duplicated functions
that were needed when the text editor was isolated.
Minor improvements to find/replace while making sure they still worked
with utf-8 chars.
Added the ui namespace and broke the main rendering function into a set
of smaller functions. Reorganized the header code separating functions
into rough groups that eventually will be in separate files.
The problem was that imported files didn't have token sequences to
obtain the UDT variables. The fix was to create maps from the file name
to the token sequence and then process each imported file to obtain all
the variables needed. Function variables are skipped since they can be
part of the code.
There are also some minor code style corrections and a fix in the text
editor where the last line of a selection was not being deleted.
allows the ability to assign colors to global placed and non-placed
variables, pattern, local and calculated pointer variables, template
arguments, function variables and arguments, etc etc etc. It
accomplishes this using the parser and the token sequence generated by
the lexer. It still uses the original colorizing code but the underlying
data holding the pattern has been updated to be easier to use and to
debug. The changes are too numerous to cite here.It is a big but
necessary step to bring the pattern editor to a somewhat useful state.
There may be one commit in the pattern language repo needed to be able
to run this code
