> Lexilla doesn't create lexers itself at load time AFAICT from a quick look Geany only calls `CreateLexer()` when the filetype of a Scintilla editor widget is set, so only as needed. So if Lexilla has no globals (or static members, same thing for these purposes) with non-trivial constructors then little or no code will be paged in at startup to initialise them.

To be clear my "experience" of this level of detail is only in one case where it was a problem, in all other cases it has never mattered so it hasn't been examined in detail. But the point is to note that it is never safe to assume it works like C!!!! :grin: -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3938#issuecomment-2314480875 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
