GLSL language definition

[dyze]

Hi,

For the need of my project (RaylibMaterial), I'd like to replace the standard ImGui multiline text edit by your wonderful control.

Your library already contains a definition of GLSL language, but this one looks totally wrong. So I've duplicated "CStyleHighlighter.cs" and started tweeking it:

My questions are:

• is it the right approach?
• CStyleHighlighter.cs contains a lot of function that looks useful for all languages (Colorize, Tokenize...). Is it efficient to duplicate all of them?
• I have also noticed the use of SimpleTrie.cs, I had to copy it to my project because the class is declared as internal. Is it intended?

Regards

Yeah, I haven't done much work on the syntax highlighting, it was basically just ported straight from the C++ library's implementation. The idea behind having the trie internal was that it's basically an implementation detail of the C highlighter. I think a good approach would be to make an abstract class called CStyleSyntaxHighlighter or similar. Then you could inherit from it and pick and choose which keywords, built-in functions and tokenising rules to use.
