As for 'bool IsAppStartingUp()' function, shall I provide a patch?
Yes, just do it similar to the IsShuttingDown method. I'm off the next few days - so you have enough time for a patch... Otherwise I can do if I'm back ;-)
Ok, I'll try to do it myself.
@Morten: I'm affraid I've lost in C::B architecture. Please guide me how to do that or do it for me (I think it would take you 5 min or so :)).

OK - I've done it and will commit after a few tests... (as this changes the SDK version).

Hi there.

I observed that whenever I close configuration dialog of C::B all Scintilla's styles are set to those for the built-in syntactic highlighter.
Is there any way to turn off the built-in highlighter when SH is loaded?

How about these changes? When do you expect them to be commited?

They are in head now, with the limitations I mentioned. Tell me when thee is new stuff to test.

Hi guys!
It's a long time since my last post ;)
Sources of not-crashing plugin attached (maybe I'll find time to make some hg repository for future;))
Play with it and tell me what you think.
BUT!
 * no config dialog so far
 * if you go to editor settings and then back, the color scheme will revert to the C::B settings
    (how to turn this off???)
 * I don't handle changes in project/build target settings and active build target changes (work in progress)
 * due to some clang issues, there could be still places not colored properly ;) (I've filed bugs for this)
 * as usual, you need libclang installed (llvm and clang svn versions work fine for me; also remember to change
    linker options!)
 * tested with C::B (rev 8836) SDK v1.15.0.
 * [EDIT:] you need gcc >=4.6 with -std=c++0x or -std=c++11, or some other compiler supporting basic C++11 ('auto' and simple lambdas)

To handle options changes I need to know
 * when project options are changed (what if I modify only build target options? Do I get cbEVT_PROJECT_OPTIONS_MODIFIED also?)
 * when active build target is changed (that is set, not modified) -- what event should I use?

Enjoy!

I recently tested with providing semantic highlighting by hooking into the Scintilla lexer.  Pros: seamlessly integrates into the pre-existing highlighting settings.  Cons: the patch there is currently not usable (due to some sort of thread lock, I think, when you start typing).

Great!
But... how about the new C++11 standard? My plugin inherits C++11 support from clang,
which is quite decent. And what about errors in code? As you type, there are plenty of them...
Colors is a minor issue in my plugin; but clearly I need my own color config panel
because it has to be richer (semantic highlight has a lot more styles).
I think of using color scheme extending syntactic one, but I don't know whether it is possible
to control syntactic scheme in SDK.

Oh... I forgot: you need gcc >=4.6 with -std=c++0x or -std=c++11 to compile the plugin (or other compiler supporting 'auto' and simple lambdas).

Do you have any plans to remove all these c++11 things in the future, because some of us are stuck on older distros, which have only gcc-4.1 or gcc-4.4?

Hmm... I probably could... and I'll try.

But... Do you have any plans to migrate to *newer* versions of gcc in the future? ;)
4.6 is already stable ;)
I recommend using C++11 features (e.g. rvalue references) that allow for cleaner and faster code.

Yes, gcc4.4.6 will be my next gcc. Unfortunately if you're doing commercial software you have to work on older distros.

The code without c++0x features attached.
One more thing to config: in file CompileOptions.cpp change
#define GCC_VERSION_STR "4.6.3"
to your version (it is used in a workaround for clang using libstdc++).

And don't try to close editors while there are pending changes...
I'm working on it ;)

EDIT: fixed crashes on editor close.
