parsing function parameters was bad idea, i have removed this part, but now if geany know class, then object initialization will not highlighted.
there is C style (class is unknown), it looks like C prototype  and this is C++ style (class is known)  there is another idea, if file type GEANY_FILETYPES_CPP or GEANY_FILETYPES_C will be available on Scintilla lexer side , then lexer may change highlighting behavior, for example don't highlight C-style prototypes at all, because they are looks like object initialization, which is used in C++ very often. for example, don't highlight 'spaceText' part ```C++ std::string spaceText(virtualSpace, ' '); ``` what do you think? -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
