QtCreator updated and float type is not highlighted in C any more

[Stanislav Silnicki]

Hi!
right after my favorite IDE had updated to 4.4.0, I lost the highlighting of by pity float type (
any guesses?
(I'm in Linux environment.)

[sierdzio]

File a bug report. Is that with clang code model or the built-in one?

[Stanislav Silnicki]

I'm not sure how to check which one...
If you're about Options->C++->Code Style, then the Current setting is "Qt [built-in]"...

[sierdzio]

If Help->About plugins->ClangCodeModel is unchecked, you are using the built-in code model.

In any case, it is worthy of a bug report https://bugreports.qt.io

Help -> About Plugins -> C++ -> ClangCodeModel: If this is checked, then the ClangCodeModel is enabled.

Does this happen for you in C, C++ or header files?

Can you post a minimal file that shows the wrong behavior? (So we can check against)

[aha_1980]

@sierdzio was faster ;)

In any way, if you report a bug you will need a minimal example also.

And please set a link to the bugreport here.

built-in code model.

the prob. seems to appear in both .c and .h files

There has been some changes recently to not display bool, true, false etc. in C files as keywords (they are only keywords in C++).
Please provide a minimal C file that triggers the wrong behavior.
Thanks.

ups... have just posted bug report.... https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-18879

on the way to prepare files...

[Stanislav Silnicki]

the story is not complete so far...
pretty strange...

once I create a new .c file...

everything looks fine...

but when I add this file to my project....

and it appears in files plane (as I know, it just inserted in .files file within project dir)...

float type looses its highlighting...

I'm not an expert in standards, but it looks like float is still a keyword in C... Can you disclose a motivation for demotion of a such within QtCreator's environment?

I said that "bool, true and false" are not highlighted anymore.
I did not say, that float is not highlighted anymore. Indeed, for me, float is highlighted fine.
That's why I ask you for a minimal example. In what I see from your side, you include <stdint.h>, so I guess the error is somewhere within stdint.h

And as soon as you add it to your project, the include file is parsed and I guess therefore highlighting for float stops.

[Stanislav Silnicki]

I've tried from scratch (sorry too many pics):

removed #include for sure...

sorry if my reply sounded offending.

Wow, so many screenshots :)

It would have been enought to post the .pro and main.c file.

I'll try to reproduce one I'm at home.

[Stanislav Silnicki]

it looks like I did something wrong :((

I can't upload files any more.....

[Stanislav Silnicki]

can upload pics, but not files....

ok.

main.c:

int main()
{
float foo;

printf("Hello World!\n");
return 0;

}

float_my_pity_float.pro:

TEMPLATE = app
CONFIG += console
CONFIG -= app_bundle
CONFIG -= qt

SOURCES += main.c

And by disabling "false", "float" was disabled too, sorry. The fix is under review: https://codereview.qt-project.org/205025

So I guess this can be closed as solved.
