semantic highlighting stopped working for comments ? [message #897662] Wed, 25 July 2012 01:23 Go to next message

Hi,
Since some version back (2.2.1) I have an issue with semantic
highlighting. There seems to be some sort of optimization because I no
longer see semantic highlighting being applied to comments.

I have the same problem in 2.3.0 (Juno release).

It seems like all my other semantic highlighting kicks in, but for
comments it seems like only the default token based highlighting is
applied. (When I change the style under preferences it *is* applied in
all open editors.

Need some hints regarding debugging/ fixing of this, and if something
has changed that I need to be aware of.

Regards

What I found out so far, is that it is an ordering issue. During
validation/linking I detect the conditions that should apply when
styling (e.g. imagine a link in documentation being colored differently
depending on what it refers to (or nothing).

I currently do the processing in my specialization of
LazyLinkingResource when resolveLazyCrossReferences is called.
Seems I need to perform all computations that have an effect on semantic
highlighting before that - say in updateInternalState that *is* called
before highlighting is computed.

(Seems like I have to sacrifice highlighting based on result of linking
in favor of having it kick in at the right time).

Henrik,

did you try to invoke #resolveLazyCrossReferences as the first thing in
your highlighting computer?

Regards,
Sebastian

A bit tricky, since linking potentially can take a long time, and a
CancelIndicator should be passed - don't know how to obtain one in the
highlighting computer.

Think I will just break out the part of the logic that is required for
highlighting, and then do the second step during validation/linking.
Also think this may improve on performance/feedback while editing.

....let's see what happens...

Worked like a charm. Doing the first part in resource
updateInternalState, and then validation of that during
validation/linking. (Nevermind coloring things based on linkage result -
will just use error/warning markers instead.
