Re: [cdt-dev] Request for CDT 9.0.1

[Nathan Ridge <zeratul976@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

After Neon was released, users have reported some regressions. For some of them that are relatively severe and have low-risk fixes, I would like to propose getting their fixes into 9.0.1:

 1) Bug 496657
     Here, the indexer throws an exception on certain code patterns, resulting in indexing
     the project not being completed, and index-based editor functionality being impaired.
     This is most severe of the bunch. The fix is a simple null check.

  2) Bug 496696
      Here, the coloring of certain tokens inside a macro invocation was accidentally changed
      to be the same as the macro name. In macro-heavy codebases, this is a very noticeable
      and jarring change.
      The fix just reverts the offending change (at the expense of regressing another, much
      less important, bug, bug 486682), so it just restores the code to a known-good and tested
      state.

  3) Bug 496628
      Here, codan markers for warnings pertaining to a class declaration cover the entire
      class declaration, which can be a lot of code. There is a simple fix which restricts the
      marker to the first line.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Nate
