Qt Creator: checking syntax & highlighting

[dimv36]

Hello, guys.

I use QtCreator for editiing pure-C code. In those code I have some statements, which exist in pure-C, but exist in C++, e.g.:

namespace is not keyword in C, but it's keyword in C++.

At this place QtCreator check code and tells me, that I have a syntax error in this place, e.g.

const char *namespace

Does any way exist in QtCreator to set list of keywords, that must be checked by QtCreator and will be highlighted?

@dimv36 Just an assumption: what are the file extensions for your C code? *.c, *.cc?

[dimv36]

@jsulm I have *.c files as source code and *.h as headers.

I just answered on my questions myself.

QtCreator has Keywords.cpp file located at src/libs/cplusplus/Keywords.cpp
In those file QtCreator check given word and determine it's type (keyword as this, namespace of identifier).

So, I comment code, which checks not-pure-C keywords, make those lib and install to qtcreator/lib/ directory. It works for me.

As for me, it will be great, If I can choose type of code to check (e.g. Pure-C, Pure-C++ or Qt), so, is QtCreator has any pluggable mechanism to do that?
