However, a well-defined form which could be optionally implemented by a variety of editors could still be valuable by avoiding multiple definitions of the expected header text. In general I like the idea but how is this ever going to work for any general editor? Once I am able to account for early feedback I'll work to generalize the proposal to inline it here. However, to avoid maintaining two copies of the proposal in the early "RFC" stages, I'd like to focus on the linked copy to start with. Ideally, be ready to provide a set of compatibility tests. Please make sure your proposal is clear enough for others to implement it. Please explain your proposal here without requiring to follow long external documents.

That is why we are been very reluctant to do automatic code fixes. And from the top of my head I not even sure it is possible retrieve the comments syntax (/* and // for C-styled languages, - for SQL, etc) from the editor.Īnd a more general concern: Code fixing is very difficult, especially for a general editor. Notepad++ doesn't know what the language will be, so it doesn't know what the comments look like. To add a header like you suggest the editor needs to add the proper comments to the header. When I new file is created in N++ the file type (aka syntax highlighting) is set to plain text. I help to maintain the Notepad++ EditorConfig plugin. How can general editor ever find out that a couple of lines at the top of a file match the suggested file_header_template property? The code/technology to let this work needs to be backed into the plugin, preferably in the core libraries.Įven something that seems as simple as adding such a header to a new file can be hard. NET compiler for C# and VB.NET, it also powers the code completion in Visual Studio), but how should this ever work in a general text editor like Notepad++ or VIM? Those kind of editors have very limited knowledge of the programming languages. NET develop myself I see how this can work for something as advanced as Roslyn (for not. This proposal defines a simple analyzer and code fix combination to support a majority of cases used in practice.īeing a. First of all I agree with general I like the idea but how is this ever going to work for any general editor?Ĭurrently the IDE does not offer built-in support for configuring headers (aka file banners or copyright headers) expected to appear in source files.
