I'm currently updating the TextMate D bundle for D2. I have a
couple of questions for how to highlighting some specific code
or how other editors/IDE's highlight them.
* "this" in constructor
this () {}
In TextMate functions/methods are highlighted, should this be
highlighted as a keyword or as a method?
* "this" in copy constructor
this (this) {}
The "this" parameter, should that be highlighted as a keyword
or as a parameter?
* The "__ctfe" variable
if (__ctfe) {}
How should this highlighted? I see a couple of alternatives:
- not at all
- as a keyword
- as a special recognized built-in symbol, similar to __LINE__
- as a special recognized library symbol. For example, in the C
bundle many of functions in the standard library are specially
recognized and highlighted differently. This might not apply
here since it's not a library symbol
* __traits identifiers
__traits(allMembers, Foo);
In this case "allMembers". Basically the same question and
alternatives as for the "__ctfe" variable.
* Predefined version identifiers
version (OSX) {}
Again, same a question and alternatives as for the "__ctfe"
variable.
* Extern identifiers
extern (C)
Again, same a question and alternatives as for the "__ctfe"
variable.
Am using Textadept, the highlighting is as follows:
highlighted as keyword:
this()
__traits
extern(C) // The "extern"; "C" isn't highlighted at all
highlighted as a special recognized built-in symbol, similar to
__LINE__:
version(OSX) // the OSX; "version" is highlighted as keyword
not highlighted at all:
__ctfe
