#337 Glitch in Ada syntax highlighting

[Harald Korneliussen]

In the Ada syntax highlighting pattern, if the with'ed
or use'd package has a single letter then it isn't
caught by the pattern.

Example

with Ada.Strings.Unbounded
with C.Strings

(works OK, but)

with Interfaces.C.Strings
use Interfaces.C

(neither works because of the single "C")

I'll see if I can parse the regexps well enough to fix
this myself.

Could you come up with a short example where this can be
seen? I don't know Ada and neither do I see a difference
between the two cases.

I can see the C here as highlightted. What effect do you
expect? What effect do you get?

Now I see what's wrong. I forgot the semicolons at the end
in the examples. Compare
...

with Interfaces.C.Strings;
use Interfaces.C;

...
with the text
...

with Ada.Strings.Unbounded;
with C.Strings;

...
and you'll see what I mean. They are both package
inclusions, should be highlighted identically.

The bug is in the "withs use" subpattern, but I'm not so
good with regexps, I didn't manage to fix it :-(

If you don't see it I can upload a screenshot.

I attached a possible fix for this. I still don't know Ada,
so please check this pattern in situation where it might break.

A short description how to handle the pattern file is in the
pattern file. Let me know if any problem comes up.

No response, so it seems to be fixed. The bug is left open
until the new pattern set is brought into CVS.
