template implementation

[Freem]

Usually, it is possible to use F11 key to switch between headers and source files.

For templates files, it is not possible, as they don't have true implementation file (ie: no cpp file) but it is common to use a tpp (or whatever else) file to avoid spamming the header file.

The problem is that, by default, C::B do not recognize those files as CPP ones.
It disable the F11 key and find implementation/declarations.

Is it possible to force CB to recognize tpp files as cpp for templates? And if yes, how? (I am currently working on a library using nearly only templates... so it is a bit annoying)

[edit]
removed the dumb assertion about color syntax. Just have to add it in the maskfile list, in general editor options.
But maybe it could be added by default?

I am not sure about the rest, but for highlighting, you could add *.tpp to the filemasks for C/C++ under the syntax highlighting configuration.

Edit: I guess you just noticed that as well.

that's true, thanks anyway

But there is still the rest, the most useful in fact.

Try this patch; it should register *.tpp as a source file, enabling header/source switching (warning, untested).

I have think about a workaround: added a tpp folder which contains the tpp files, renamed as cpp.
Adding the "tpp/*.cpp" files in the project, uncheck "compile file" and "linking file" in "Build" tab of files properties.

It's not very nice because I don't like to use cpp extension, but it allow to use near every CB tools (except for auto completion, because it actually don't like templates)

But I will test your patch this evening, when I will be able to download CB source code.

If it does not work, you could try this one; it includes more changes (but again, untested).
