Thread: Eternally Confuzzled

Third paragraph of main page reads: "..I do this not because I want give them as much variety as possible.."; might read better as "...I do this not because I want to give them as much variety as possible"

It's getting very difficult to spot your typos, you know.

>"stealing" seems like such a harsh word..
I'm not afraid to tell it like it is.

>It's getting very difficult to spot your typos, you know.
My BS is getting better then.

That's my next change. I got about twenty lines into my own implementation of C++ to HTML, then changed my mind and modified Sunlight's code to suit my needs.

Good programmers write good code. Great programmers steal good code.

do you happen to have a list of colors/words used? I've been looking to code one in Perl/PHP to output in HTML and Vb so it can be used for these forums...

I used to use the program from the CodeGuru forums, but that was built for windows, and I've been using linux for the past few months... and I'm too lazy to write it all out and choose colors...

unless, of course, you already know of one :P

edit: hmm... I'm finding out that PHP's built-in syntax highlighting works for C++ as well...

>do you happen to have a list of colors/words used?
The colors are grabbed from my global stylesheet. This is the keyword list though:

#define
#elif
#else
#endif
#if
#ifdef
#ifndef
#include
#pragma
auto
bad_cast
bad_typeid
bool
break
case
catch
char
class
const
const_cast
continue
default
delete
do
double
dynamic_cast
else
enum
explicit
extern
false
float
for
friend
goto
if
inline
int
long
mutable
namespace
new
nothrow
operator
private
protected
public
register
reinterpret_cast
return
short
signed
sizeof
static
static_cast
struct
switch
template
this
throw
true
try
type_info
typedef
typeid
typename
union
unsigned
using
virtual
void
volatile
wchar_t
while

There are a few minor issues with Sunlight's code that need to be rectified for compilation on a modern C++ compiler (he clearly used VC++ 6). The Windows specific parts can be easily removed as well and the code should compile on Linux.

Here is a list of keywords I have never used in my c++ career:

#elif
auto
bad_cast
bad_typeid
const_cast
dynamic_cast
explicit
extern
goto
inline
mutable
nothrow
register
reinterpret_cast
type_info
typeid
union
volatile
wchar_t


i'm sure many of ye' can beat this




also: I would like to add bad_alloc to the list of c++ keywords

not that I think anybody's interested, and not to hijack this thread any further, but I just completed it in Java (I need to re-learn it for my CS courses):

Code:

#include<iostream>

int main()
{
	int a,b,c;
	float fa,fb,fc;
	double da,db,dc;

	std::cout<<"Hello World"<<std::endl; //end-of-line comment
	//line comment
	/*multi
	line
	comment*/
	"multi
	line
	quote"

	//comment with new keyword
	/*comment witn new keyword*/
	"quotes with new keyword"

	return 0;
}

I attached the code (just change SyntaxHlt and Finder from .txt to .java and keywords to .dat) just in case anybody's bored enough to take a look at it... if you know more about java than I, pointers would be appreciated, and I know there are holes in the code (one big one: if you escape a quote in a literal string, you'll run into problems), and some keywords (like double) are colorized more than once (because of 'do' and 'double')... I'm sure there are plenty others, but I'm really only making this for personal use (and for anybody else if they want to use it)

edit: you'll also notice that the keywords file isn't in alphabetical order - it has to do with what I mentioned before about the double-coloring... if it comes across 'do', it'll change it so double will come out to double
