ASH syntax highlighting in Kate

Yeah, I tried putting it before "c-basic-matchers-before" but at that point, they already identified that it was an errant string. I just need to delve into the code a bit more and find where they determine that first. I went with the safest approach (treating [] as quotes) until I can figure it out.

This is because it's not defined in cc-fonts, it's part of cc-engine and cc-langs.
 
Awesome, that is what I guessed it was. I should have that done then. Not sure if I'm missing other keywords, at some point, I should really go through the Java code and see what I miss (or wait until someone points out my mistake).

Current issues:

* $item[bob's toy] verses some_variable[bob's toy] is still broken. But, at least it is better than before. :)

* cli_execute {... } doesn't font-lock properly.

* Hash comments (# some comment) doesn't work.

For what it is worth, here's all the keywords I have in my notepad++ ash configuration. Maybe you'll find a keyword you're missing. Let me know if you have one that I missed.

$item $effect $class $stat $skill $familiar $slot $location $zodiac $monster $element $items $effects $classes $stats $skills $familiars $slots $locations $monsters $elements $booleans $ints $floats $strings

int float void record string boolean buffer item effect class stat skill familiar slot location zodiac monster element

Here's a bit of trickiness. cli_execute is either a keyword or a function name, depending on context. The function just takes a string argument and all is peachy, but the keyword works like this:

Code: 
cli_execute {
  # Yes!
  echo Hello world!
  // No
  echo Goodbye, cruel world
}

That is a block delimited by {}, and it would be nice to indent the lines in it appropriately, but the CLI commands are just comments, as far as ASH is concerned.

Try typing it in by hand and watch how it autoindents (and how it reindents when you type a tab) currently...

Edit: And Bale, those are not all keywords. Many are just functions. Keywords:

Code: 
	static
	{
		// Constants
		reservedWords.add( "true" );
		reservedWords.add( "false" );

		// Operators
		reservedWords.add( "contains" );
		reservedWords.add( "remove" );
		reservedWords.add( "new" );

		// Control flow
		reservedWords.add( "if" );
		reservedWords.add( "else" );
		reservedWords.add( "foreach" );
		reservedWords.add( "in" );
		reservedWords.add( "for" );
		reservedWords.add( "from" );
		reservedWords.add( "upto" );
		reservedWords.add( "downto" );
		reservedWords.add( "by" );
		reservedWords.add( "while" );
		reservedWords.add( "repeat" );
		reservedWords.add( "until" );
		reservedWords.add( "break" );
		reservedWords.add( "continue" );
		reservedWords.add( "return" );
		reservedWords.add( "exit" );
		reservedWords.add( "switch" );
		reservedWords.add( "case" );
		reservedWords.add( "default" );

		// Data types
		reservedWords.add( "void" );
		reservedWords.add( "boolean" );
		reservedWords.add( "int" );
		reservedWords.add( "float" );
		reservedWords.add( "string" );
		reservedWords.add( "buffer" );
		reservedWords.add( "matcher" );

		reservedWords.add( "item" );
		reservedWords.add( "location" );
		reservedWords.add( "class" );
		reservedWords.add( "stat" );
		reservedWords.add( "skill" );
		reservedWords.add( "effect" );
		reservedWords.add( "familiar" );
		reservedWords.add( "slot" );
		reservedWords.add( "monster" );
		reservedWords.add( "element" );

		reservedWords.add( "record" );
		reservedWords.add( "typedef" );
	}

Edit 2: I think we've not always declare keywords to be be reserved words...

Code: 
for i from 1 to 10 by 2
    print( i );
How about "to"?

I'm not sure if this is within scope of an emacs mode, or perhaps it's just my unusual style, but I'd expect

Code: 
integer sum = 5 +
  2;
to actually indent like:

Code: 
integer sum = 5 +
              2;
This works the way I'd expect, by comparison:
Code: 
print("bar" +
      "baz");

Check out the above links. You can set up custom indenting for your style using some of those. I set up my .emacs to include the style I use (but I don't have access to that from work), including one for Mono work verses my personal C# work. I happen to use my default for ASH. Once I get home, I'll see about posting an example .emacs file.
 
Bah, I couldn't find my .emacs example, must have accidently deleted it.

Code: 
(defun my-ash-mode-hook ()
   (progn
    (setq tab-width 4)
  (c-set-offset 'substatement-open 0)))
 (add-hook 'ash-mode-hook 'my-ash-mode-hook)

Something like that should work. You can also put a function in the "0" but I forgot if you need a '(some-function) or just (function). Been a while for that and I can't find my examples.

I did make a minor change to the ash-mode, mainly to add the keywords I missed. I didn't put in the built-in functions though.
 
Looking good... any progress on the # comment?

Also, I rescind my earlier request for a change in indentation behavior - I realized what I'm asking for would create inconsistency with other behaviors.

# comment support on it's own is relatively easy to setup, the trouble I guess caky is having is with figuring out where it sits in the cc-modes.

Yeah, just figuring out how to do it. Implementing C-based commented (// and /**/) is easy, single character EOL comments are a bit harder with cc-mode.

Let me figure out how to do it and put it in some documentation of some sort. That way, if you want it, you know how to do it, but it won't be the default behavior.

Oh, for those who are interested, I started collecting the open issues in my bug tracker.
