Re: [CEDET-devel] [ECB-list] Display Parameter Types in Methods Buffer

[Eric M. L. <er...@si...>]

Hi Klaus (& rest)

  When this first came up, I was surprised it was not an overloadable
function.  I haven't taken an action on this item yet because there is
a behavior funneling problem here where lots of format functions call
this one routine, but each upper level function expects (by way of
what it is supposed to do) something slightly different.

  Something just like the below implementation could be the end
result, but I suspect it might be better to have the below routine
return a list of tags, which forces non-tags into the tag format.
Once that is done, then the upper level format routine could call
itself, or a routine of it's choosing on those tags, knowing that said
routine won't blow up on the random stuff that might be in the a
argument list.

  Or, as you suggest, an override method and languages that don't
support tags as arguments must override it.

  Or...  I dunno.  It's an interesting problem though.

Thanks
Eric
