functions list for Pascal language

[SimionescuM]

The builtin functions list stay empty after loading source files.
Syntax coloring is working.

Tried my poor skills on the npp config files but NO success.
The functions list 2.xx plugin seem to work (not 100% thou), but I think the built in functions list feature should work without user intervention on every new version.

Please fix the native functions list feature.

Pascal is a DOS based language, but all of the answers on here are either pseudo code, or syntactically. [LINK REMOVED]

see https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/commit/9dc109f5990a707ca69235608fa2f1fbd223ea82, some work is done on the builtin function list.

@MAPJe71 are there plans for pascal support?

[MAPJe71]

Yep, Pascal is planned for next update i.e. Function List Update 3.

[Mihai Simionescu]

Version is now 7.5.6 and STILL no PASCAL SUPPORT with built-in Functions List (functionList.xml).

It still has support for less used programming languages.

The developers banned Pascal/Delphi/FreePascal?

[MAPJe71]

Though Pascal did not make Function List Update 3 it is not abandonded.

I’m the author of the PR you mentioned. It is not a ready implementation. It works in some cases and in other cases it doesn’t. That’s the reason why I’ve closed this PR, I wasn’t able to get it production-ready and thus it should not make its way into a release of Notepad++. It would only lead to a huge amount of support/bug fixing requests.

But maybe you are able to improve the parser, feel free to do that. If you decide to do so, be aware that you also have to provide Pascal source files for testing and verifying the parser. This is the new policy for releasing FunctionList parsers.
