Comment Wrap plugin crashes in Notepad++ 8.3

[Michael Vincent]

@Derek-Brown

Are you still supporting Comment Wrap? If so, Notepad++ 8.3 has made some breaking changes to support >2Gb files that affect all plugins - especially those using Scintilla positions and text / character ranges.

Here is additional info.

You’ll basically want to update your headers with latest from Notepad++ repo:

• Scintilla.h
• Sci_Position.h

and then make any changes in your code where the Scintilla API calls return a position - instead of getting an int, you’ll want Sci_Position or intptr_t. Also, text ranges / character ranges (like calls to SCI_GETTEXTRANGE) should expect Sci_PositionCR.

Cheers.

P.S.: I specifically mention “Comment Wrap”, but this holds true for the other plugins you support as well. I updated mine last week. Most were pretty easy recompiles with the new headers, some required the additional work.
