Another request

Would it be possible to allow custom fields? For example. instead of just the preset fields "Pre", "Post", "Warning", etc, could it be possible for a user to include a custom field in the source and use CSS for layout?

A field could be identified as any string at the start of a double-semicolon line followed by a colon. For instance:

Code: Select all

;; Pre:
;;  This is a normal field
;;
;; Destroyed:
;;  This is a custom field

Yes, I know I should just let go of the whole "destroyed" thing, but it feels weird to be listing destroyed registers as output. I want a destroyed field!

Allowing custom fields would give much more flexibility outside of the Vera project. And since I'm not the guy who's writing the program and have no idea of what is involved, I feel it's my right to demand all kinds of crazy features.

EDIT: Also it seems that the < and > are not properly escaped. I use < in one of my comments and the xml parser chokes on it - it thinks it's a tag.

Right you are, of course... I'll get to it asap

To be honest, I've been thinking about something similar. Following the XSLT tradition, I should write some kind of XML definition that defines how the assembly comments should get parsed into XML... But writing the parser for that would be agony. Especially seeing that I've written this thing in C, which isn't really the simplest language for these kinds of things...

Ah, another bug

Hooray

There should be a few more characters I forgot/don't escape.

If you'd like; the source for this thing is on the Vera SVN, feel free to fix/expand whatever you like.

Cool - I didn't realize that. I'll take a look at it.

The parser is utter crap from a C novice (I'm still learning, sorry

), but the scanner is somewhat alright, and it works quite alright for our Vera source

Anyway, suggestions for improvements are of course welcome, as well as contributions...
