Hi all,
I found I problem with the CodeCompletion plugin. It was not finding some symbols in my code. At first, it seemed random, but I could trace down the problem to lines that had a strange combination of spaces and tabs, after doing some debugging.
Here is an example code (. means space and > is the final position of a tab, my settings are tab=4 spaces)
void main(void)
{
>int aabbaa;
>aabbaa
}
If you right click and say go to declaration, it works...
Now, replace the tab before aabbaa (equivalent to 4 spaces) with space+space+tab. The final code is:
void main(void)
{
>int aabbaa;
.. >aabbaa
}
This is because the tab is expanded in the nativeparser.cpp at line 2169
actual_search.Replace(_T("\t"), tabwidth);
actual_search.Remove(col);
, so each tab is replaced with 4 spaces, but the next line truncates the line based on the column position from screen, so 2 characters are left out. The reason is that the tab on editor is equivalent to 2 spaces only, keeping an indentation of 4.
I found a way to solve this by using the GetTextRange() function from wxscintilla...
actual_search = searchData->control->GetTextRange(searchData->control->PositionFromLine(line), pos);
A patch is attached against svn trunk r6857...
I'm using the patch in my systems and it seems to be working fine now.
