CCSv4/CCSv5 text editor

Hi Carmine,

Any syntax colouring options that are available will be found under Window->Preferences.

Have a look in general as this can be a very useful area to get back to.

The syntax colouring is specifically then under C/C++->Editor->Syntax Colouring

Please keep us posted.

Best Regards,

Lisa

hi

 tank you  for :

 ( The syntax colouring is specifically then under C/C++->Editor->Syntax Colouring ..)

 but is no true , on this windows  you can modify ONLY  the color !  , by I  not find a new keyword method !

 best regard !

Hi Carmine,

what exactly do you wish to do?   I am a bit confused.  In your first post you asked about the syntax colouring ....  what do you mean exactly but find a new keyword method?  Do yo meant define these items?

Best Regards,

Lisa

hi,

 I want simple add a just  new keyword :  uint32_t , uint16_t  , uint8_t   ,.... ( blue )

 ( user keywords ! )

it's possible ???

tank you!

HI Carmine,

I think this is likely somethng that actually comes more or less from eclipse.  Let me see if I can get an answer for you.

In the mean time, do these topics help?

Hi lisa,

  tank for your help .

 I am ceated plugin.xml  in folder :eclipse\plugins

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?eclipse version="3.2"?>
<plugin>
  <extension point="org.eclipse.ui.keywords">
    <keyword
            label="uint8_t uint16_t uint32_t"
            id="com.xyz.AppearanceKeywords"/>
   </extension>   
</plugin>

 tested in CCSv4, but eclipse not recognize this !

 can you try thi's procedure ??

 note :  uint16_t   ,for me is : #typedef unsigned short uint16_t  , etc ets , is a simple type declaration

 tank you !

Hi Luca,

These keywords in the editor have to be added to the current set of keywords that we support, there is no UI that you can contribute these keyword by the end user that I am aware of.

Can you let me know what ISA is your project and a short code snippet illustrating the usage of these keywords?

Regards,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,

here an "useless" snipped code .

/* use thi's declaration for unambiguous type declaration :

*  this a good mode.

  */

typedef unsigned char uint8_t ;     // 8 bit unsigned

typedef unsigned short uint16_t ;   // 16 bit unsigned

typedef unsigned long uint32_t ;    // 32 bit unsigned

typedef short int16_t ;             // 16 bit signed

// declare vars

uint32_t var_32_bit;

uint16_t var_16_bit;

uint8_t var_8_bit;

//------------------------------------------------------
extern uint16_t empty_snippet( uint8_t pippo);

/* useless code ! */

void snippet_code( void)

{

 while( 1)

  {

   var_16_bit = empty_snippet( var_8_bit++);

   var_32_bit = var_16_bit ^3;

  }

}

note : add to new keywords in eclipse ( CCSvx ) IDE , is not important feature  , MSP430 work very well! .

 normally I use this mode , because I developing firmware / application on multi platform ( eg: ARM / MSP430 / STM8 / ARC etc etc )

this way ( type definition )  is very convenient for library, snippet code, ... on my job !

normally  , others IDE, integrate this feature !!!!!! ( external file or dedicated menu item )

eg : int var  == 16 bit on MSP430, 32 bit on ARM  this a mistake in code library !!!!!

really thanks,

Regard

Hi Luca,

These are not compiler keywords that I was expecting. In CCSv5. You can configure typedef color by opening the Preferences dialog and select C/C++ / Editor / Syntax Coloring node in the left side tree, then select Typedefs in the list on the right side.

Will this work for you?

Patrick

Hi Patrick,

 this is a "trick" solution : ok work in CCSv5 ( adequate) , but not in CCSv4!

 ok its one solution !

 the question  :

    - integrated editor ha a list of keywords (  unsigned char void return  int  struct #define    ....)

    its possible to add a new keyword  to the list ??? 

 ex:

#pragma vector=USCIAB0RX_VECTOR

__interrupt void USCI0RX_ISR(void)

{ }

how to add ( ex BLUE color)  the words : " __interrupt"  and "vector"  or "luca" or "pippo" or "patrick"   ??

its a "technical question" !!!!!

Regard

 Luca
