(69/211) 3508 - Java/C/C++: colour method/function name broken by whitespace

File --> New in Mode --> C++ --> OK
Paste the following in the buffer, taking care to preserve the space between fn2 and (
-----
void fn1(void);
void fn2 (void);
-----
Bug: text fn1 is in purple colour while fn2 is in black.
The whitespace is not significant in C++ so the syntax package should ignore it too IMO.

The same bug is reproducible in modes c,java and probably many others.

jEdit 4.4 server-background mode

This is a duplicate of the followings.
- http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=737187
This has a history of an attempt to fix the problem, but it failed.
- http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=2712417
This report includes a possible but incomplete workaround.

I'm leaving this one open and closed others as duplicate because this
one seems the most descriptive report about the problem.

I don't rellz care so much about which ever ticket we decide to keep open. But please, ticket 737187 has several proposals how to address it. Getting a fix for this would be highly appreciated.

Fixed in revision 20562 for C/C++/C#, java, and javascript. There are other languages that might benefit from this fix, but I'm not familiar enough with those to know for sure.

Reopened. r20562 is reverted in r20595 as it didn't work correctly.

Since this is still open, I'd like to add that whitespace isn't the only valid possibility. I work with a coding style that injects comments between the function name and the opening parenthesis (as strange as it looks, it actually helps with grep-ing the code). I'm not suggesting this as a requirement for jEdit. I just wanted to point out another possibility. Example code:

void some_function /\* does something \*/
(
int some_parameter
)
{
}
