Lexer for C only?
« on: July 30, 2020, 07:40:26 pm »
Hi,

When I saw some variables in C code like 'class' get highlighted I realised the lexer is C/C++. Before I start deleting C++ keywords, has anyone already created a lexer specifically for C that they'd be willing share, or think it's a useful idea to implement? Failing that, am I right in thinking it would be as simple as deleting words specific to C++? (I know creating a new C lexer would be best but I'm really short on time and don't need C++). Thanks.

I am having the same problem. There is no such language as C/C++. Where is a proper C lexer?

I'm also a C coder.

Did you find any solution?

Kind of. I started using KDevelop and constructed a custom color theme for it using the colors from Code::Blocks. You can get it from here:

KDevelop is actually good IDE for large projects (more then 50k lines of code)
