A repository for source code snippets, designed with Pascal in mind.

{TODO -oSelf -cImprovement : Rationalise error handling in UTaggedTextLexer - use exception rather than LastError properties. Also check how they bubble up the chain to snippets editor.}
{TODO -oSelf -cDocs : Document the fact that only Latin1 characters are permitted in passwords.}
{TODO -oSelf -cProposal : Change TTaggedTextEntityHandler to handle entities with value greater than 255?}
{TODO -oSelf -cBug :
Fix bug #2868707
Selecting snippets using the Search | Select Snippets menu item and then
editing a selected snippet can cause the snippet to disappear from the
selection when the snippets editor is closed.
-----------------------------
Snippet selection query uses object reference, but editing snippet
recreates the object, changing references. This is a deep problem and won't
be fixed until planned reworking of query / database code.}
{TODO -oSelf -cRefactor : Extract common code in UDropDownButtons and UTVCheckBoxes into common base class.}
{TODO -oSelf -cFeature : Add support for external user defined units.
+ Split list boxes on references page of snippets editor into Delphi and user defined sections.
+ User must provide search path for their own units
+ Snippets editor / unit manager will check for those units
+ Test compiler will need to check for the units, so search paths must be persistent.
+ Unit generator must be able to use these units. Emit a comment in unit saying that user defined units have been used and must be on search path.
+ Add search path page to preferences dialog box?}
{TODO -oSelf -cProposal : Consider what gesture support to add (needs Delphi 2010).}
{TODO -oSelf -cProposal :
Change the Snippets Editor moving code for each pane into separate frame that can
(1) validate entered data
(2) calculate required size for controls}
{TODO -oSelf -cRefactor : Rename identifiers that refer to "routine" with "snippet".}
{TODO -oSelf -cProposal :
UView
- completely overhaul this unit (careful of assignements tho - check if this
actually happens between different types (may need wrapper for various
IView implementations?)}
{TODO -oSelf -cProposal : Consider moving syntax highlighting setting (CSS builder) down into FrInfo from FrDetailView since comp check tab no longer uses highlighting}
{TODO -oSelf -cProposal : Move Compile, View compile errors and configure compilers menu options to a new Compile menu?}
{TODO -oSelf -cRefactor : See if we can pull out common HTML and REML code into SGML unit}
{TODO -oSelf -cRefactor : Create StringToOrd and OrdToString dictionaries and use to create two way char entity object to replace one in UTaggedTextLexer and UREMLDataIO etc. Also use for tag lookup in TTaggedTextLexer}
{TODO -oSelf -cRefactor : Re-implement MakeSafeHTML in terms of a char entity class like that for REML? Use common base class with entities class in UREMLDataIO?}
{TODO -oSelf -cProposal : Consider making TDateTime a record that can use =, < etc and to use TRange in when comparing file differences}
{TODO -oSelf -cProposal : Add update date to each routine object}
{TODO -oSelf -cRefactor : Merge the IO and UI manager code into WBController}
{TODO -oSelf -cRefactor : Try to decouple UPageSetup, UPrintMgr and source code manager objects from associated dialog boxes}
{TODO -cProposal -oSelf :Terminate application when unexpected (non-CodeSnip) error trapped.}
{TODO -oSelf -cFeature : Add code to THilitePasParser to detect location of directives and decide if they should be classed as reserved words or not}
{TODO -oSelf -cFeature : Add parsing for standard user routine. Must start with procedure or function. Need to
parse. Grammar is:
<proc_proto> ::= "procedure" <ident> [<param_list>] ";" [<directives>]
<fn_proto> ::= "function" <ident> [<param_list>] ":" <ident> ";" [<directives>]
<param_list> ::= "(" <param_def> (*repeat ";" <param_def> *) ")"
<param_def> ::= <ident> [ ":" <ident> ]
<ident> ::= valid Pascal identifier
<directives> ::= <directive> (*repeat ";" <directive> *)
<directive> ::= "register" | "pascal" | "cdecl" | "stdcall" | "safecall" | "overload"
Parsing for consts and types for our purpose is simple:
<type-def> ::= "type" <definitions>
<const-def> ::= "const" <definitions>}
