Highlight function

[perento]

How to highlight a function declaration/call? I see when i use code tags in forums, the function prototype names are highlighited but i cant see it in the code::blocks

[perento]

I noticed its hard to hightlight such functions, so ill ask straight away, is it possible yet?
If not i have to deal with it, if yes, please take the time to answer.

PS: Sorry for the double post

What do you mean? Please try to explain better what is the problem and what are you trying to do.

Code Select Expand

int Set_foo (int val){
     foo = val;
}

int main(){
     Set_foo (10); //highlight here

     return 0;
}

is it possible any call of Set_foo to be highlighted? Or any pre-defined library functions?
I seen a forums that use to highlight function names inside code tags, is this possible in Code::Blocks?

I was leaded to a wiki page (scintilla) of how to set .xml file to highlight but i didnt read anything for the functions or similliar.

Still not pretty clear, but I guess you want semantic highlight and this is not possible at the moment...

Jut like the 'x' character are highlighted, or the data types, the numbers etc. This is what i ment, please excuse my english is not my main one.
I was leaded to this thread but cant really tell what is doing exactly.

Try 'settings->editor->syntax highlighting->keywords'.

[perento]

For keywords are okay. I was wondering if the IDE can recognize function names/calls like the keywords, and highlight them when called or writing a function.

[oBFusCATed]

Are you talking about code-completion?

[scarphin]

It's like solving a puzzle but I think he's talking about assigning a color to functions in the editor, like keywords and others. ;/

Yes, thank you. Can the IDE recognize when i write/call a function and add a color to it, like when i type for example "while" turning the keyword in blue, same when i write a function to turn the function name in some color.

Again, please forgive my english

That's what is called semantic highlighting, and no, it's not supported directly, we use scintilla as editor component and it uses lexer based syntax highlighting.

But there is a user who started to develop a plugin that can do it, but it's not yet ready.
