The code tools seem to have problems in parsing "case" statements, and
with debugging "while" statements. See this code snippet:
//determine XML lines to copy
while PFirst < XLast do begin
//copy until PFirst
while XFirst < PFirst do begin
dst.Add(Strings[XFirst]); inc(XFirst);
end;
//merge patch
dst.Add(DiffFile.Strings[DFirst]); inc(DFirst); //copy diff range
header
case DiffSec.c of
'a',
'c',
'd': //delete P (insert Diff lines before P?)
begin // <---------------- this is line 134 --------------
while DFirst <= DLast do begin
...
When navigating in this file (e.g. CTRL-SHIFT up/dn), the cursor is
positioned at the marked line, at the "in" of "begin". The error message is:
uxml.pas(134,10) Error: identifier expected, but in found
(complete file uploaded with Mantis #19783)
Does the parser have problems with character literals (and other
expressions) as case labels?
The codetools itself uses a lot of them.
Can you reproduce it? For example edit something in front, so that the parser reparses the code in question.
I think I saw something fishy with undo that sometimes the source editor does not commit the changes to the codetools. Maybe this is the case here.
BTW the unit compiles, i.e. contains no real syntax errors. [...]
