And can I also ask you send it as an attachment, rather than inline with
your text please? I had to manually unwrap a bunch of lines, and the
version in the web archive has lost all its indentation; it's always better
to send patches as attachments to prevent them being processed.
Anyway, I'll give this patch a go as well. I agree with Steven's points;
it needs to be en/dis-ableable, and it need to be parameterized to tie in
with gdb's notion of source language in some way. I wonder if there isn't
some existing language-agnostic open-source syntax highlighting component we
could plug in in some way? I'll have a bit of a browse on the web over the
weekend.
Thomas and Vineeth, thank you both for your efforts.
cheers,
DaveK
