Just a follow up.

The issue now is my plugin includes

The files are still in the github project:
https://github.com/qt-creator/qt-creator/tree/v13.0.0/src/libs/3rdparty/syntax-highlighting/autogenerated/include/KSyntaxHighlighting

Not sure why they are not packaged in the _dev package

[Qt-creator] Need help building my plugin in GitHub

[Carel Combrink]

Hi,

I am trying to make a new release for my SpellChecker Plugin
 for the new Qt Creator
13 release.

In the past my github action would download the Qt Creator and the _dev
packages from the Qt Mirrors (example for Windows: Index of
/official_releases/qtcreator/13.0/13.0.0/installer_source/windows_x64

)

Doing this allows me to skip manually rebuilding Qt Creator, I can just
build my plugin.

The issue now is my plugin includes
qt-creator\src\plugins\texteditor\syntaxhighlighter.h

which includes #include 

but this header is not contained in the '_dev' package/archive.(PS: I only
see 'state' and not 'Definitions')

What is the best way to proceed to build my plugin?

Regards
Carel

I also recently started using the "pin file" feature and was surprised that
after spamming CTRL + W the pinned files were closed.
I have no suggestions yet on what I expect to happen, but that they got
closed was unexpected.

Thinking about it a bit it might make sense to close all editors and keep
the pinned ones in the open documents list.
It sounds counterproductive since then they are not opened anymore, thus
they don't fit in the list (new list or renamed panel?)

What I don't want is to get 'stuck' on a pinned file when I try to close
everything but the pinned ones with the shortcut.
And then again, perhaps a shortcut to "close all except the pinned ones" is
the correct way to handle this and then get stuck on a pinned one with a
warning or indication as other people mentioned in this discussion.

I am not familiar with the issue nor the problems.

In my use case I don't develop Qt applications, I am asking from the IDE's
perspective. I use Qt Creator as my IDE for all of my C++ development and
the current work/projects are bare C++ console applications.

Developing using VSCode works without any issue, I would just like to move
back to Qt Creator even for this use case.

[Qt-creator] Plans to support WSL development

[Carel Combrink]

Dear Qt Creator developers,

Are there any plans (short, medium or long term) to add/improve support for
developing Linux apps in WSL?

I am thinking about something in line with what VSCode offers, where Qt
Creator runs on the Windows side but works with the compilers and files in
the Unix subsystem?

I am currently using VSCode for this setup but would love to be able to use
Qt Creator instead.

Re: [Qt-creator] Qt Creator is cool. :-)

[Carel Combrink]

I want to take this opportunity to second this.

A year ago I changed jobs and had to work with 'one of the best Integrated
Development Environments' out there due to vendor locked in project files,
build systems and environments.
And I have to say, after a year I am fully convinced that Qt Creator is
worlds better when compared.

In a year using said IDE I never thought: 'Nice, QtC needs this' or 'QtC
can't do this'. Often I felt 'Wow if QtC can do this why can't I do it
here'.
My last rant on said IDE is that 3 keystrokes are not a shortcut, it is a
sentence

Qt Creator is easy to work with and simplistic enough to not be in your way
but complex enough to make you go faster and do what you need to do,
develop code.

I am very fortunate to move on to a new job next month where I will be able
to work in Qt Creator once again.

Well done to the Qt Creator developers and contributors.

[Qt-creator] Qt Creator SpellChecker Plugin: Quick Survey

[Carel Combrink]

Hi,

I have created a quick 10 question survey about my SpellChecker Plugin for
the Qt Creator IDE.
Please take a minute or two and complete the survey at the following (even
for those who are not using the plugin) link:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/7DRQ85N

For those who are not aware:
The SpellChecker Plugin is a free and open source plugin, hosted on
GitHub @ https://github.com/CJCombrink/SpellChecker-Plugin

Since not too long ago I have started publishing releases for Windows,
Linux and MacOS.

Any responses will be appreciated.
Also please feel free to add suggestions on the GitHub page.

Re: [Qt-creator] Qt creator + Clang model = major annoyance

[Carel Combrink]

Unfortunately I have to agree, in my view the move to CCM was a step
backwards for Qt Creator. I do understand the reasoning but few things
should have been prioritized before the move was made.

I have the following major annoyances:
1. Can't open context help for a Qt function/class if the line does not
compile (syntax issues).
- For example, you know the function name but not all the arguments for
the function, F1 does nothing to help in this case.
- See QTCREATORBUG-21686
, QTCREATORBUG-11332
, QTCREATORBUG-8428
, QTCREATORBUG-15959
 (Quick search in the
bugtracker, there are more, not all might be relevant to the CCM).
2. Can't follow symbols for Qt classes and functions if the line does not
compile.
   - If the above (F1) works this will probably not be needed, but how else
do you look up a function that you need help with...
Yes the Help mode or google must be used to overcome the above, but it
breaks the workflow and it worked before CCM.

At one point Qt Creator was the IDE I recommended to everyone to use due to
the speed, completion and help context, but at this point in time I am
actually considering evaluating other IDEs to see if they can not "help" me
code better.
I use Qt Creator in my day-to-day life at work and home, I was even so
committed to it that I created the SpellChecker-Plugin[1] for the IDE about
5 years ago and still maintain it. At this point I am rather frustrated.

PS:

> Also, sometimes the only way to fix CCM to highlight/react to inputs like
> F2 is to restart qt creator.
>
What also works (on Windows at least) is to kill the clangbackend.exe
process from the task manager, Qt Creator will detect this and restart it,
then you do not need to restart Qt Creator at least.

I really hope this specific issue can get priority and get resolved.

I think this is a very good idea. One thing about Qt Creator is it is
a bit frustrating to work with the Project file tree, and combining
the ones with the same name could be a good improvement.

That said, I am not sure about the proposed solution/presentation
(yet) since I agree with what Tomas is saying.

I do normally use the locator, but sometimes one needs to work with
the tree then It gets annoying.

We use a lot of libraries and folders and for that the simplified view
is too simplified and the normal is too cluttered.
I would prefer if it keeps the folder structures but remove the
Headers, Sources, Forms, etc. and collapse that in an intuitive way.

Re: [Qt-creator] Qt Creator plugin distribution - best practices and future plans

[Carel Combrink]

Hi,

As the developer for the SpellChecker plugin[1] I am currently at a stage
where I only build releases as needed. This can be downloaded from the
release page [2].

Normally I only need to create a binary for the major.minor releases, then
it works on the patch releases as well.
This however failed for QtCreator v4.6.1, for some reason 4.6.1 could not
load my plugin built for 4.6.0.
In the past this was not an issue. Not sure why this happens.
(Perhaps something that I did wrong, something that caused it in QtC, any
information would be nice?)

I build for MSVC 32 and 64 bit, using MSVC compiler. Normally I try to just
build for the QtC version released along with the installers, trying to
match the Qt and compiler version.
I also build for Linux 64 bit, but normally only use the latest Ubuntu.
Based on some feedback I have also started building for Ubuntu 16.04 since
the last release for QtC 4.6.1.
I can't build plugins for MacOS since I do not own a Mac.

I have a general impression that most people use QtCreator from the
installers, thus I just build releases for those versions.
If someone build QtC themselves, I provide proper (I hope) steps for them
to build the plugin as well.

Building is currently a tedious process, but since I am not actively
developing the plugin I make releases only as QtC versions are released,
and then I just do it.
If I start developing more actively I will probably set up some CI builds
for the plugin.

For me this is working quite well at the moment.

[Carel Combrink]

Hi,

I work on a quite large application and my clangbackend crashes often due
to running out of memory.
I am using Qt Creator 4.6.0 [Qt 5.10.1 (MSVC 2015, 32 bit)]
Thus if the clangbackend reaches about 1.4GB of RAM it crashes, then starts
growing again, rinse and repeat... Switching to 64 but will not solve the
issue, since I only have about 2 GB RAM free, thus crashing the
clangbackend is better compared to crashing everything. (Sometimes the
compiler crash due to running out of memory).

My current numbers as I am typing this:
Image Name | Memory (Private Working Set )
-|--
clangbackend.exe *32 | 751 976K
qtcreator *32 | 592 004K

Regards,
Carel

[Qt-creator] Qt Creator: unknown warning group on Q_OBJECT using clang code model

[Carel Combrink]

Hi,

I have just switched over to to using the ClangCodeModel in Qt Creator
4.2.1 but get the following warning on the O_OBJECT macro (see attached
image):
Lexical or Preprocessor Issue
20:5 warning unknown warning group '-Wsuggest-override', ignored.
...

Is this a known issue? I have looked through the bugreports but can't seem
to find anything.

I am using:
Qt Creator 4.2.1
Windows 7 x64

My project is set up using:
Qt 5.7 and MinGW 5

Might it be related to the the compiler passing/enabling the Q_CC_GNU code
check that clang then "sees" and parses?

Is there a way to work around this issue (it is less than ideal to just
ignore it)?

I will raise a bug if needed, just want some input around the issue first.

[Qt-creator] QtCreator release and MSVC2015

Hi,

Just out of a matter of interest, what are the plans to start building the
QtCreator that gets shipped with Qt (online/offline) on Windows with MSVC
2015? Also any comment on a 64 bit version?

Are there any reason why this not yet done?

I developed and maintains a SpellChecker plugin for QtCreator but had to
reinstall my development environment and installed MSVC2015 without paying
too much attention now I realised it might be an issue and I need to start
the setup from scratch.

Re: [Qt-creator] Parse macro arguments for Spell Checking

[Carel Combrink]

Dear Nikolai,

You can get the unpreprocessed source code with e.g.
>
> auto *cppModelManager = CppModelManager::instance();
> auto *cppEditorDocument =
> cppModelManager->cppEditorDocument(document->fileName());
> if (cppEditorDocument) {

The above works well, thank you. Regarding the "Read source code from
disk... " comment, when will it happen that the editor documents would not
be open? From my understanding the model manager will open the document
with a call to CppTools::CppModelManager::updateSourceFiles(). If this is
correct then I do not need to worry about this case.


To convert to line/column, document->translationUnit()->getPosition(...)
> should help you.
>

I have attempted this but can't seem to get the correct answer for the line
and column number for the arguments:
I have implemented the following to test:

for(const CPlusPlus::Document::MacroUse& mac: macroUse) {

const QVector& args = mac.arguments();

qDebug() << "Macro  : " << mac.macro().name();

qDebug() << "Macro Line : " << mac.beginLine();

docPtr->translationUnit()->getPosition(mac.utf16charsBegin(),
&line, &column);

qDebug()  << "Macro Position: " << line << ", " << column;

for(const CPlusPlus::Document::Block& block: args) {


docPtr->translationUnit()->getPosition(block.utf16charsBegin(), &line,
&column);

qDebug()  << "Block Position: " << line << ", " << column;

}

}


For the following line ( 47)

MY_TEST_MACRO(ab + "This is a \"strin\" literal " +
QString::number(20) + "That we \"neerd\" to chegck for \"Spellig
Mistakers\"");


I get on Linux:
Macro  :  "MY_TEST_MACRO"
Macro Line :  47
Macro Position:  47 ,  10
Block Position:  47 ,  24

And on Windows:
Macro : "MY_TEST_MACRO"
Macro Line : 47
Macro Position: 49 , 3
Block Position: 50 , 1

I am expecting:
Macro Position to be: 47, 5 and the Block Position to be: 47, 19

Again I get different results on Windows and Linux, but worse than that it
is not what I expected. Am I doing something wrong?
Previous issue with almost the same code is mentioned here:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-14834

Note that we are focusing on the clang code model, so in the long run the
> code we are speaking about here will vanish or be replaced.


I am assuming that even though the code model is planned to be replaced
with the clang code model there would still be an interface into the model.
Regarding my SpellChecker plugin, if this move happens I want to still be
able to allow for picking up spelling mistakes, thus I would then need to
interface to the code model that the clang processor built up. Do you have
any suggestions or comments around this and where I might start to look if
I want to start porting my plugin to make use of this?

As mentioned, I was hoping to start with the process to integrate my plugin
into Qt Creator once the above issue is solved, what is your
recommendations around this? Should I wait for the clang code model before
I attempt this or would it still be a good idea to start the integration
using the old code model?

[Qt-creator] Parse macro arguments for Spell Checking

[Carel Combrink]

Hi,

In an attempt to handle macros correctly from my SpellChecker plugin I need
to get the arguments from functionLike() macros to check for string
literals.

So I have the following code that obtains the MacroUse from the
Document::Ptr:

QList macroUse = docPtr->macroUses();

for(const CPlusPlus::Document::MacroUse& mac: macroUse) {

const CPlusPlus::Macro& macro = mac.macro();

qDebug() << "Name: " << macro.nameToQString();

qDebug() << "isFunctionLike(): " << mac.isFunctionLike();

qDebug() << "beginLine() : " << mac.beginLine();

const QVector& args = mac.arguments();

qDebug() << "Arguments:  : " << args.count();

for(const CPlusPlus::Document::Block& block: args) {

qDebug() << "bytesBegin" << block.bytesBegin();

qDebug() << "bytesEnd" << block.bytesEnd();

qDebug() << "Bytes Diff: " << block.bytesEnd() -
block.bytesBegin();

qDebug() << "utf16charsBegin" << block.utf16charsBegin();

qDebug() << "utf16charsEnd" << block.utf16charsEnd();

qDebug() << "UTF Diff: " << block.utf16charsEnd() -
block.utf16charsBegin();

}

}


What I am struggling with is to get the argument before the macro is
replaced/expanded.
Say I have the following on line 46:

QString stringLiteral = QStringLiteral("A String Literal wirth spellig
mistakes");


The above code prints out:

Name : "QStringLiteral"

isFunctionLike(): true

beginLine() : 46

Arguments: : 1

bytesBegin 1894

bytesEnd 1935

Bytes Diff: 41

utf16charsBegin 1893

utf16charsEnd 1934

UTF Diff: 41

>From the above I see that I get the correct Macro, with the correct number
of arguments and the length of the argument is correct.

Now the issue: How do I get the actual argument: "A String Literal wirth
spellig mistakes"

If I can get the argument, the plan is to extract string literals (text in
between "") and then spell check that text.
The second thing I will then need to do is to underline any spelling
mistakes, so I would need to get the line and column number if possible, of
the misspelled word before expanded.

In a previous discussion about this issue on the mailing list last year (
here
)
I got something working for QStringLiteral, but the issue was that other
macros would break down, such as the __FILE__ macro. Thus I am revisiting
the issue and hopefully can get it resolved for all macros with arguments.
In the referenced discussion a user (Typz) suggested to run the fast
preprocessor before parsing strings, but I have no idea how to do this
(correctly) if this is the recommended approach above what I am attempting
above.

Any help will be much appreciated. If I get this sorted out I want to start
investigating the possibility of integrating my plugin with QtCreator.

PS: The above code is still for QtC 3.6. Also I am using QStringLiteral as
the example since that is the most used macro in these circumstances, but
the same should apply for any macro, even custom ones defined in the
project.

[Qt-creator] Building 3.5: Dependent 'commondefines.h' does not exist.

[Carel Combrink]

Hi,

I have cleaned up my development environment (Windows) by reinstalling Qt
(5.5) from scratch and getting the sources for Qt Creator 5.5.

When I try to build Qt Creator I get the following error:
C:\Qt\Tools\QtCreator\bin\jom.exe -f Makefile.qmldesignerplugin.Release

Error: dependent
'C:\Development\QtCreator\3.5\share\qtcreator\qml\qmlpuppet\interfaces\commondefines.h'
does not exist.

After a do a revert on my checkout out branch (git checkout .) the files
are there:
/c/Development/QtCreator/3.5 (3.5)
$ ls share/qtcreator/qml/qmlpuppet/interfaces/
commondefines.h  nodeinstanceclientinterface.h
nodeinstanceserverinterface.cpp

Then rebuilding the project I see the following line:

Why is QtCreator deleting the files and then during build trying to build
the files?

Did I forget to do something regarding setup before trying to build Qt
Creator?

PS: I did the cleanup and reinstall in Windows 7 and had this issue. I
decided not to follow up on this since I was planning to upgrade to Windows
10. Now in Windows 10 it does exactly the same.

I am using MSVC 2013.

Thank you very much for the help in this regard.

[Qt-creator] Issue parsing QStringLiteral() in SpellChecker Plugin

[Carel Combrink]

Hi Guys,

I saw that my SpellChecker Plugin does not handle string literals enclosed
in QStringLiteral(). correctly. I am pretty sure it is because
QStringLiteral() is a macro that expands to the actual code to handle the
literal.

The issue with this is, that I need to parse the string to check for
spelling mistakes and then if there are mistakes, underline the misspelled
word and give the user the options to replace the misspelled word.

Due to the expansion of the macro, I am finding it rather hard to get the
position of the words as the user sees it, not my plugin. For example if I
have a mistake on "line: 8, Col: 63" (reported by QtC), my parser sees 2
instances of the word at (10:65) and (10:232).

How do I extract the 'correct location' (Location in the IDE) for the
QStringLiteral() expansion?

I have started searching and looked a bit at the  WrapStringLiteral class
(part of CppQuickfixes) and it seems like the WrapStringLiteral::analyze()
function can do what I need. I am not sure how to use this, or implement
something similar.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

PS: I will also be very grateful if this solution can be used to also know
which strings are translatable strings (enclosed in tr()). I would like to
add the option to my plugin to let the user request that only string
literals that will be translated be parsed.

Re: [Qt-creator] Which plugins are you working on?

[Carel Combrink]

Hi Tobias, list

I am working on a SpellChecker Plugin for Qt Creator to check spelling of
comments and string literals in C/C++ files.

I have just (last night) created a new release that adds the option so
select C, C++ or both types of comments to be checked. It already has a lot
of settings and has a few widgets that integrate into Qt Creator.

I have compiled plugins for both Windows and Linux(x64) versions of Qt
Creator 3.4 that can just be deployed with a few easy steps after
downloading.

Check out the plugin on my GitHub page:
https://github.com/CJCombrink/SpellChecker-Plugin
Releases can be downloaded from:
https://github.com/CJCombrink/SpellChecker-Plugin/releases
The wiki page shows some screenshots:
https://github.com/CJCombrink/SpellChecker-Plugin/wiki

One goal is to try and integrate into Qt Creator but not sure when I will
get to doing that and the amount of effort that it will take.

Any comments and feedback will be appreciated.

[Qt-creator] Remote device issue with 3.4

[Carel Combrink]

Hi All,

I am deploying to a remote device from QtCreator of SSH, from Ubuntu 14.04
to Ubuntu 14.04.

In Qt 3.3 this was working without any problems, but after upgrading to
QtCreator 3.4 I get the following error trying to connect to my device
(using the "Test" function on the Device configuration):

Connecting to host...

SSH connection failure: Proxy denied connection


Device test failed.


I can confirm that the connection still works with 3.3 without any
problems, or changing any settings:

Connecting to host...

Checking kernel version...

Linux 3.13.0-46-generic x86_64


Checking if specified ports are available...

All specified ports are available.


Device test finished successfully.

I am behind a proxy (for internet etc.), but the connection to my device is
also behind the same proxy, thus no proxy should be needed for the
connection. Needless to say, an ssh connection from the terminal also works
without any problem.

Is this a bug, or is there something that I should change for 3.4 to work?

Regards,
Carel

[Qt-creator] Auto complete for Qt5 signals and slots connections

[Carel Combrink]

Hi,

is there a feature or any plans to implement the same auto-complete
functionality for creating signals and slots using the Qt 5 connections?

For example when using the old way and typing SIGNAL(, QtCreator lists all
signals for the preceding QObject.

Currently I use the SIGNAL and SLOT macro to get the correct method, then I
edit the result to be according to the Qt5 syntax.

[Qt-creator] QtCreator Plugins that depends on external libraries

[Carel Combrink]

Hi,

With my SpellChecker Plugin
 a few comments were
received about trying to integrate the plugin into the main QtCreator code
(upstreaming it).

Regarding this I would like to know: Say I get the code to conform to the
QtCreator coding standard, how would I handle the external dependencies of
the plugin? At the moment the plugin depends on the Hunspell spellchecker
library to do the actual spell checking. For this it needs the headers as
well as the library to build and link the plugin.

On Linux this is not such a big issue, but on Windows it can be a bit more
problematic.

Any help in this regard will be appreciated.

PS: I have just created a new release that now also checks String Literals.

[Qt-creator] SpellCheckerPlugin: New version

[Carel Combrink]

I have created a new release for the SpellChecker Plugin for QtCreator 3.3.

The newest feature is that the plugin can now also check the spelling of
String Literals (quoted sequence strings Eg. "My String").

Please download the latest release from my github page here
 (currently
0.3.0).
There are pre-build binaries for QtCreator 3.3 for both Windows and
Linux(x64) with instructions on how to install in the README file.
On the main page of the project one can see how to use
 the
plugin. The plugin also provides a few useful widgets
.
Numerous settings
 can also be
changed for the plugin, depending on the user's preferences.

An example image of the underlining of misspelled words by the plugin can
be seen below:
[image: Inline image 1]
For more images please look at the wiki
 page of the
project.

Any feedback and comments will be appreciated.

[Qt-creator] Offset issue with CPlusPlus::TranslationUnit::getPosition()

[Carel Combrink]

Hi,

I have created a SpellChecker Plugin for QtCreator but I have an issue
where if a comment contains a 'non-standard' character, (ö - QChar(246)).

I get a comment using the TranslationUnit::commentAt() function then split
the comment into words. For each word I get the row and column number of
the word in the file with the TranslationUnit::getPosition() function.

If a comment contains the above character, that comment is fine, no
problems.

But for any comment block after the comment with the char the getPosition()
function returns the position with a offset for each issue char from the
correct position. For instance if there are 4 characters in preceding
comment blocks the location of the word is 4 rows offset from where it
should be.

See attached an example of the issue cause by this. In the first comment,
the mistake is underlined correctly. In the second comment the character in
question appears and the mistakes in the comment are still underlined
correctly. While in the last comment the mistake is shown one char offset
from where it should be (column 16 instead of 15 in the output pane).

The code for my plugin can be found on GitHub: SpellChecker-Plugin

The function that iterates the comments: parseCppDocument()

The function that calls getPosition(): tokenizeWords()


Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Re: [Qt-creator] SpellChecker: Underline Spelling mistakes

[Carel Combrink]

Hi Preeteesh,

I have uploaded the code that I started testing with to my repository, see
here:
https://github.com/CJCombrink/SpellChecker-Plugin/commit/c41ba08adfee3fdc1446617f594b2d24124f1aaa

To build without the underlining just comment out the #define (plan was to
commit it with it commented out but somehow did not do that. )

[Qt-creator] C++ Plugin: Check word against C++ Code Model

[Carel Combrink]

Hi,

I am busy with a Qt Creator plugin for the C++ Editor.

How do I use the C++ code model to check if a word is a function, class,
etc or 'just a word'? The plugin parses the comment tokens in a C++ Editor.

For an example: I have the following code:
/* This is function myFunction */
void myFunction(int arg1);

Parsing the comment gives me 4 words ("This", "is", "function" and
"myFunction"). How do I know that "This" is just a word while "myFunction"
is a token (part of the code model) in the scope of the comment?

My current, initial implementation checks a word against all tokens in the
file that the comment appears in. I would like to make use of the code
model instead, if possible.

Carel

[Qt-creator] Extend C++ Text highlighting in Qt Creator with a plugin

[Carel Combrink]

Hi,

I am trying to investigate the possibility of extending the normal C++
Syntax highlighter of Qt Creator (2.6.0) with a plugin. For the moment I am
only interested in working with comments, but in future this might extend
beyond comments.

Is it possible to extend the syntax highlighting purely using a plugin? If
yes, how would I approach this?

I have done a bit already (testing/prototyping), but could not get a good
solution, or rather any solution. This is what I have done:
I have created my own TextEditor::SyntaxHighlighter and added it to the
QTextDocument of the current editor. But if I do this, it replaces the C++
Syntax highlighter, and that functionality is lost. I though about
extending the CppHighlighter by deriving my class from it, but the
highlighter is in the Internal namespace, so that is not possible without
editing the CppEditor plugin (for now this is not an option).

My next attempt was to use a cursor to change the format (using
QTextCursor::mergeCharFormat()) of a section of the comment without using
my SyntaxHighlighter. I did this in my slot called when the document gets
updated. But this format change causes the documentUpdated() signal to be
emitted, which causes my formatter to update the format which causes… (see
the infinite loop)

I see there is a CppHighlightingSupport class in the CppTools plugin, but I
can’t figure out what this is for, nor if it will help me with my problem.
One thing that I saw about this ‘tool’ that make me think this is not the
correct things is the fact that only one can be set on the CppModelManager.
Again I can’t extend the base one since it is also Internal. And then
again, what if someone else decides to add another plugin, that also
extends the syntax highlighting. Then depending on the one that sets the
support factory last will be the one that gets used.

I don’t know how to approach this so that I can keep the highlighting that
the CppHighlighter applies and to highlight some specific sections of
comments differently.

Any help will be appreciated.
Regards,
Carel

Re: [Qt-creator] QtCreator ignores scopes in .pro files

[Carel Combrink]

Hi,

I also though this was a bug or something.

It would be nice to have an option to disable this, if this is a feature. I
can see how this can be interesting for some developers, and that they
would like to see it. But in the case where one has a very large project
with a lot of conditional includes it clutters the project tree with
unneeded files. Especially when developing on a project with sub-projects.
I have gotten used to working like this, so this is not a problem, but a
setting would be nice.

PS: It also took me a while to figure out that it was just Creator that
shows everything and not my pro/pri files that were incorrect. I did spend
a lot of time trying to debug my project files...

Regards,
Carel
