Zeus IDE

Hi Jussi,

I just upgraded from 3.97D Beta to 3.97n Beta 12. There must have been a change to the color highlighting code in Zeus.

For C++ code, comments are displayed in blue.

I have a lot of old code I inherited and it has code that looks like this

int read_index; //* ptr's to next queue entry read */

In the current version of Zeus, the entire file after this line displays as a comment ( blue ). In the previous version, the color is correctly displayed after this line. Hopefully this can be fixed in Zeus. I hate the the thought of checking 1000's of files out and back into source control just to edit the comments.

if I change it to either of these, Zeus works correctly
int read_index; //* ptr's to next queue entry read
int read_index; /* ptr's to next queue entry read */


Thanks!
Jack

Hi Jack,

I am not seeing the bug at this end

If I paste the code below into a new test.cpp file running the Zeus beta 12 it all colors just fine. It looks like there might be something in you local Zeus configuration settings

To test this theory could you move the entire Zeus install folder out with a rename and then run the full installer found here:

Hi Jussi,

Your were correct, the virgin install does not have this problem. Instead of copying the zConfig folder over the new installation like I always have done, I manually configured the new install ( you greatly improved the default color selections so I didn't mind doing this work).

Thanks!
Jack
