Zeus IDE

Hi Jussi,

The feature to find the next function ( control-down_arrow or control-up_arrow ) is no longer working correctly in C++ files. I'm not sure when it stopped working. It stops at many lines that aren't functions. I believe the problem is that it is stopping at any line which contains a double colon (::). I have a lot on lines in my code that have this structure

class_name::enum_constant_declared_in_class

This needs to be distinguished from a function which looks like this:

void class_name :: function_name( parameters)

Hopefully, this can be fixed because I use to love this feature.

Thanks!
Jack

In the general section of the document type there is a function regexp that defines what is a function.

All you need to do is create a regexp that defines the lines that are functions.

For example this regexp will identify lines of code like the following as functions To add more definitions just use the regep or construct: Cheers Jussi

Hi Jussi,

Thanks for the feedback, I didn't realize I could configure this. But unfortunately, this just changes the problem. I didn't do a complete job of asking my question. I want to find function definitions for C and C++ of the form

return_type class_name :: function name ( parameters )
return_type class_name :: function name ( parameters,
return_type function name ( parameters )
return_type function name ( parameters

and not find lines which call functions or have similar structures

function( parameter );
function (
if ( result > sizeof(tag) )
class_name::enum_variable

I'm not very good at regular expressions, but I don't see any way to find just the functions.

Thanks!
Jack

Hi Jack,

Try this one: To test my regular expressions I just use the find dialog in Zeus itself.

I'm not very good at regular expressions

In the expression given the ^ represents the start of line, the [...] represent a set of charaters, the + means it must be found, the * means optional and the .* means any characters.

Cheers Jussi

Hi Jussi,

Thanks for the help. Your solution doesn't fix the problem 100%, but it is so much better and very usable now. It still stops a prototypes of functions which is a very minor issue.

Thanks again!
Jack

Just change the regexp to be this: The [^;]+$ addition says ignore any line that ends in a semi-colon.

In fact since functions can be written using upper case letters the regexp should be this: Cheers Jussi

Hi Jussi,

Thanks so much for your help. You may want to consider making this last reg ex string you provided me the C/C++ default when none is provided.

Thanks Again!
Jack
