is there any difference between [ code=c ] and [ code=cplusplus ] ? I don't see the difference except, of course, the title. If no other difference why do we need both of them ?

[Dani]

They do highlight different keywords. That aside, the code bbcode is directly tied into the languages available in our code snippet library.

[John A]

How come this highlights, then?

char* string;

string isn't a keyword in ANSI C.

[Dani]

I didn't write the parser. It's GeSHi.

Neither in C++, its a class name. ;-)

[John A]

>Neither in C++, its a class name.
But char is a keyword.

The thing highlights class names no differently from keywords.

char test;
cout << "Hello, world." << endl;

Hmm... further testing

char test;
cout << "Hello, world." << endl;

This is really confusing. :-(

I don't think true and false are keywords in ANSI C either, but it does recognize the difference with a couple keywords:

bool c = false;
int new, delete;

bool cpp = true;
int new, delete;

cout << "Hello, world!" << endl;
std::cout << "Hello, world!" << std::endl;
foo << "Hello, world!" << endl;

First, it could be invoked with [code=cpp] instead of cplusplus. Second, cout is just a value; it is not any more specialer than foo and shouldn't be highlighted any differently. I demand that you fix this within thirty minutes or else I'll tell people about the secret dinosaur sex image boards you have on this site.

Umm ...... yeah. Like I said, I didn't write the parser. It's open source. Go complain to the project leaders.

W-T-F

[jbennet]

also you would think that being opensource nerds they would know about proper use of C and C++

[Rashakil Fol]

Umm ...... yeah. Like I said, I didn't write the parser. It's open source. Go complain to the project leaders.

If it's open source, that means you can go into geshi/cpp.php and change

'Keywords' => array(
			1 => 'color: #0000ff;',
			2 => 'color: #0000ff;',
			3 => 'color: #0000dd;',
			4 => 'color: #0000ff;'
			),

to

'Keywords' => array(
			1 => 'color: #0000ff;',
			2 => 'color: #0000ff;',
			3 => '',
			4 => 'color: #0000ff;'
			),

I get a bad rep for being offtopic where you were the one who mentioned "secret dinosaur sex image boards" ??? . Its no wonder everyone hates you.

>Go complain to the project leaders.
OK, for me it's not a big deal. It's a little nitpick I have. (I seem to have a lot of those, don't I)

>Its no wonder everyone hates you.
No, it's just the people that are incapable of recognizing sarcasm that hate him.
