By this I mean a view of a unit as the compiler will see it:

This has been long on the list. But still no in the doing.
Ignoring:
- any high/low-light or other markup to indicate the fact that the text comes
from a different file
- probably also ignoring line numbering
this should actually be relatively easy.
Aha, so there is hope :)
There are already "views" wrapped around the textbuffer. All that it needs is
to wrap another view around it, that combines 2 real textbuffers.
This could even be editable. Except it needs to prevent joining lines accross
file bound.
And ask what to do if you delete all lines from an include: remove the
include directive or the file.
There is work on the IDE side (outside SynEdit) to ensure it knows the file
is open. Could be resolved by pretending it is open in its own editor (which
is simply hidden)
So, this part is in fact pretty realistic ?
Well, if it is on the todo list, I don't need to file a feature request ;)
- IFDefs properly resolved.
lowlight exists.
Actual hiding is more work, because it needs to shift x positions in some
line. Probably needs big changes. Though readonly may be doable.
Hmh. I would think that preprocessing the text would be an easier approach
here, no ?
I think for the second feature, read-only (as pointed out by Giuliano Colla) is
the only viable option, because there are too many border cases.
In that case preprocessing is an option.
Still, I suspect that Anthony Walter's original problem would be largely
solved by handling the includes (so simply 'Inclusive view' :) )
