When the functionlist comes across a function name that starta with “for” it lists it as name without those first three letters. Example: the function format_line is shown in the function list as ormat_line.

This is a general problem and it depends on what kind of file you are editing.

If you are editing C files, then you have to avoid functions starting with
“if”, “while” or “for”

The problem is in the functionList.xml.

Any interrupt functions of the format…

void foo(void) __interrupt(1)
{
}

…are not included in the function list either.

I have tried to solve it…

The TagsView plugin has a superset of the functionality of the function list feature, but it doesn’t have any restrictions on the function names that I am aware of. You might want to give it a try.

Thanks Jim, TagsView is cool. It does not have the problems with name restrictions.

but it has some “features” in C, that is the only file type I have tested:

If you have an interrupt function like
void ISR_function_name(void) __interrupt(INTERRUPT_NUMBER)
{
}
it is listed as “__interrupt”

It gets confusing if you have more than one interrupt function.

Also you have to hit the update button each time you have add or changed the name of a function.

But overall a great improvement.

Thanks,
