I have almost finished a patch that uses an xml file, a new unit and
mods to codecompletion.pas to implement configurable code completion.
I have a few questions remaining:
1) What is the preferred way to specify the name and location of the xml
file? I spent several hours trying to access PrimaryConfigPath or
SecondaryConfigPath from my unit which is in the codetools package.
Right now I am testing with a hard-coded path/file name.
You can add those options to the existing options.
See ide/codetoolsoptions.pas
2) What is the preferred way to submit the patch? (In my previous life,
before retirement, all I had to do was submit my code to the Quality
Control unit and wait for their inevitable nasty-grams; the classic of
which was "What is this thing called a 'state machine' you have in your
code?" ;-) ).
Attach it to
http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=15922
3) I have a separate program to parse the xml file and detect any
possible syntax errors before Lazarus tries to load it. Where should I
put that?
What kind of syntax errors? For the xml or for the pascal snippets?
For the xml. I'm leaving the pascal as an exercise for the student ;-) .
