Crash with user defined syntax schema

[Stefan]

I do Tread hijacking, to keep things together, OK  ? 

Hi alex, just FYI:

Then open new files and search for something similar to this:

Code Select Expand

<SYNTAX id="asm" name="ASM" inherit="def_source" inherit_url="defsource_spec.xml">
Here (everything is case sensitive):
id – unique id of the language (obligatory)
name – description of the language that would be used in UI
inherit – name of base (parent) schema. New schema would inherit all settings, styles of parent.
inhertit_url – name of parent schema file. Used only fir navigation between schemas when opened in browser (optional).

1) I copied an XML for my own use.
2)  Since i didn't have no "base (parent) schema"  (at least i think so) i empty the fields inherit and inhertit_url.
3) HE crashed while i try to open a new  "File > New > AutoHotkey > *.AHK"

Code Select Expand

My workaround was to write an 'a' in this fields inherit and inhertit_url.
<SYNTAX id="AHK" name="AutoHotkey" inherit="a" inherit_url="a">

Should i delete such fields i didn't use?

Because topic were really not connected, I have splitted them.

I would check scenario with empty inherit and inherit_url (I think crash was because of inherit).
Reason is probably that I only check that inherited attribute exists, and do not handle empty attribute case correctly. I would say it is a bug - because I need to except any schema and at least not crash.

And generally about the new syntax schema. Normally you need to inherit from def or def_text or def_source.
Because they have base definition for styles. Without defined there base settings a lot of functionality would not be available.
I would update FAQ section also.

Best regards,
Alex.
