Missing functionalities of C::B when working with files w/o project?

(1/1)

Michael:
Hello,

I have remarked that when working with a single file (w/o project), some functionality of C::B are not available, e.g.,:


* syntax highlighting
* When compiler errors have found, C::B does not point to the first one as normally it does with files in a project
If I remember correctly, C::B is developed for working with projects more than with files w/o projects. Are the functionalities described above only provided when files are in a project.?

IMHO, it could be a good idea to have them even for single file w/o project.

Best wishes,
Michael

I never really wanted to do this but I did to enable quick single-file tests. Please, don't ask for more. No serious IDE supports this. Only text editors with basic build capabilities support this.

Sorry. Normally, I always use C::B with projects and practically never w/o projects. It was just today that I wanted to fast test something that I have tried a file w/o project. I just felt a bit confusing (and thinking of a bug(s)) when I have remarked no syntax highlighting and debugging facilities. Anyway, I agree with you :D. An IDE should not support files w/o project, if not for fast testing or similar.

Anyway, about the syntax highlighting issue, maybe you were not using the latest revision? I committed a patch earlier today that should have fixed everything syntax-highlighting-related.

Yes, right. I was using rev1980. With rev1984 syntax highlighting works fine :D.
