This is a follow up to bug http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=9652
> In this line delete(str,1,pos('(',str)) the bracket in the string is
highlighted instead of the opening bracket after pos
An unquoted bracket (which is meaningful source text in pascal) can be
matched by a bracket in quotes (or other context such as comment). This
prevents highlighting of the matching *functional* bracket.
Other related issues would be:
** comments:
( { ) } ) // will match the 1st and middle bracket, but for looking at
it as pascal, the first and last are relevant
** concatenated strings:
b := '(' + foo + ')';
// OR
i:= 1; // 2 or 3
a := copy( '([{', i, 1 ) + 'some text in some bracket' + copy( '}])',
4-i, 1 );
would be nice to also match the correct brackets in the strings.
That means finding matching brackets will need to be implemented inside
the highlighter (or access the highlighter a lot). I would say in the
highlighter as it allows bracket-pairs like begin/end
Opinions are welcome, but I can't say how much would go into a possible
fix. Haven't look at the highlighter yet.
This also affect jumping and marking to the matching bracket.
