[Tinyos-help] nesc syntax hilighting for // in kwrite

[David]

Hi list.

I've got nesc syntax hilighting working in kwrite by copying
/usr/share/ncc/editor-modes/kde/nesc.xml to
~/.kde/share/apps/katepart/syntax/

This works great.

But it looks like nesc.xml isn't setup to recognise comments starting
with "//". Comments in the /* */ style work fine however.

nesc.xml was installed on my Debian Sid workstation by the 'nesc'
ubuntu package, version 1.2.8a-2 (I followed the instructions on this
page to install it: http://www.5secondfuse.com/tinyos/install.html).

It looks like '//' is meant to work, because the XML file has this
section at the end:

  <general>
    <comments>
      <comment name="singleLine" start="//" />
      <comment name="multiLine" start="/*" end="*/" />
    </comments>
    <keywords casesensitive="1" />
  </general>

But if I remove that section, the /* */ comments still work. It looks
like there is some comment-recognition logic earlier for /* */
comments, but none for //

I had a quick look at the cpp.xml file for comparison, but it's too
complicated for me to understand how I would add // support to
nesc.xml.

Any suggestions?

David.
