Bug: TCL Syntax Highlighting - Double Quote in Array Variable Reference

James Benson

Got an annoying TCL syntax highlighter bug:

Notice the double quote is being mis-interpreted when it follows a left-paren in an array variable reference.

Using Notepad++ v6.9.2 on Windows 7

Here is the raw TCL source for anyone wanting to cut and paste it into their Notepad++

set rc [ SSD_Buster::safe_sread $ESB_DUMP_AREA_ADDR [ expr $glRegs("DUMP_SIZE_VALUE") * 2 ] ]

if { $rc != "" } {
	return "[ lindex [ info level 0 ] 0 ]- Failure in safe_sread {$ESB_DUMP_AREA_ADDR}! rc={$rc}"
}

# "

set test("asdf") 1
puts $test("asdf")

@James-Benson

seems to be a problem of the lexer which comes as part of scintilla component.
Should be addressed here.
But verify first if it hasn’t been already reported.

Cheers
