Last time I suggested an ugly regexp definition for
javascript.lang to avoid matching /* */ comments:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-source-highlight/2008-09/msg00000.html
On second thought (or third thought) I don't like this because it
matches cases where there are two division operators in a single
expression, such as:
document.write('<table><tr><td>25% = '+(25/100)+'</td></tr></table>');
Here is a proposed javascript.lang to fix these problems. It does the
following:
* first check if the input matches a comment
* next check if it matches a division operator, which can occur only
after a number, an identifier, or certain symbols
* finally check if it matches a regular expression
Note that it is no longer based on the java.lang because the order of
the definitions is important. (Hence, this would not work with
source-highlight 2.10, where the matching algorithm was different, but
does work with source-highlight 2.11.)
The disadvantages:
* it no longer reuses java.lang
* the division operator definitions are ugly
The advantages:
* it works in all possible cases (I hope)
* it simplifies the regexp definition
What do you think?
