This brings up a possibly more
general issue of how people are managing the assembly editor. I know that
at Mentor we had a single debugger that could target multiple families (ARM,
PowerPC, MIPS, …) and the fact that there was not a flexible mechanism
for choosing which assembly was in use was problematic (we ended up creating
our own assembly editor). I think that ideally there should be any number
of named sets of the keywords/directives (extension point?), and which one is
used by the editor in any given file is an attribute possibly inherited from
the containing project, or something like that.
As multi-core becomes more prevalent,
being able to mix different families would be key.

Subject: [cdt-dev] Assembly language keywords and directives
Hi,
Our compiler supports additional assembly keywords and
directives, is it possible to add additional keywords and directives to the
existing set for assembly editor? I am looking at the code and couldn’t
find a way to do so. Do I need to make my language adaptable to ILanguageUI and
duplicate assembly language code scanner provided by CDT?
Thanks,
Patrick
