Missing updates in CPreprocessor?

[felixalacampagne]

H, I've been trying to get the cdt 9.5.2 (for Eclispse Photon) version of the ProC plugin to work from the source code (I have no access to the compiled version in the development environment). Using the source as-is does not give any syntax highlighting and all proC statements are labelled as syntax errors. After some hour debugging I finally resorted to adding newLexer() methods to the org.eclipse.cdt.internal.core.parser.scanner.CPreprocessor class and using them to instantiate the Lexer in the CPreprocessor constructor - miracle or miracles I now have syntax highlighting and no more syntax errors in my proC source!
I've checked back with an old version of the buntatsu and indeed it does have newLexer methods in org.eclipse.cdt.internal.core.parser.scanner.CPreprocessor which are not present in the original eclipse code.

Was something missed when the updated eclipse source was transferred here? Am I missing something in how the ProC plugin is intended to work? I only have access to eclipse Photon at the moment so do not know whether the same problem exists in more recent versions.

Any chance that the changes to the eclipse CDT code could be submitted to eclipse so there is no longer a need to have a different version? From what I can see the changes are trivial, mostly to do with allowing sub-class access to the (pre)processor classes, plus the addition of the newLexer methods to allow the Lexer to be overriden?

BTW thanks for making the project available!!!

Can you provide the code of the part I missed in the original plugin?

I'm sure I double checked the code of buntatsu prior to insert here.

Thanks in advance
