Hi,

I'm trying to build a custom lexer that is very closely based on the
QSciLexerCPP class.  I started by thinking that I could just make a
descendent of that class, and override methods in it to add my desired
behaviors/keywords/etc.  But when I tried to do this, I quickly
realized that the desired methods that I wanted to override were not
virtual.  (For example, I wanted to add a new style, and tried to
override DefaultColor to give it a default.)

The syntax is really very close to QSciLexerCPP with just a few
changes.  If someone could let me know what the recommended method to
do this would be, I would appreciate it.  (One option that occurs to
me, is just to copy the entire code of the QSciLeverCpp object, and
perhaps this would be OK, but if I am missing something, I would
appreciate hearing about it.)

The QsciLexer classes are only containers for the configuration of the underlying Scintilla lexers. If you want a new lexer similar to the CPP lexer then the first thing to do is copy LexCPP.cpp.
