Matching Bracket fails

[hansw]

Matching Bracket fails when there are lots of code that has been commented out.

Is there any fix ?

Are you able to provide a code sample?

Is it the case that your code looks approximately like

Code: Select all

if (true)
{
    // This demonstrates my failure }
   ;
}

or this

Code: Select all

if (true)
{
    // In the merry month of June from me home I started,
    // Left the girls of Tuam so nearly broken hearted,
    // Saluted Father dear, kissed me darling mother,
    // Drank a pint of beer, me grief and tears to smother,
    // Then off to reap the corn, leave where I was born,
    // Cut a stout blackthorn to banish ghosts and goblins;
    // In a brand new pair of brogues to rattle o'er the bogs
    // And frighten all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin,
    // 
    // 
    // (Chorus):
    // One two three four five,
    // Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
    // And all the way to Dublin, Whack fol la de rah!
    // 
    // 
    // In Mullingar that night I rested limbs so weary
    // Started by daylight next morning bright and early
    // Took a drop of the pure to keep me heart from sinking;
    // That's a Paddy's cure whenever he's on drinking
    // See the lassies smile, laughing all the while
    // At me darlin' style, 'twould set your heart a bubblin'
    // Asked me was I hired, wages I required
    // Till I was almost tired of the rocky road to Dublin,
    // 
    // 
    // (Chorus)
    // 
    // In Dublin next arrived, I thought it be a pity
    // To be soon deprived a view of that fine city.
    // Decided to take a stroll, all among the quality;
    // Me bundle it was stole, all in a neat locality.
    // Something crossed me mind, when I looked behind,
    // No bundle could I find upon me stick a wobblin'
    // Enquiring for the rogue, they said me Connaught brogue
    // Wasn't much in vogue on the rocky road to Dublin,
    // 
    // 
    // (Chorus)
    // 
    // From there I got away, me spirits never falling,
    // Landed on the quay, just as the ship was sailing.
    // The Captain at me roared, said that no room had he;
    // When I jumped aboard, a cabin found for Paddy.
    // Down among the pigs, played some funny rigs,
    // Danced some hearty jigs, the water round me bubbling;
    // When off to Holyhead wished meself was dead,
    // Or better far instead on the rocky road to Dublin,
    // 
    // 
    // (Chorus)
    // 
    // The boys of Liverpool, when we were safely landed,
    // Called meself a fool, I could no longer stand it.
    // Blood began to boil, temper I was losing;
    // Poor old Erin's Isle they began abusing.
    // "Hurrah me soul!" says I, let the shillelagh fly.
    // Some Galway boys were nigh and saw I was a hobble in,
    // With a loud "hurray!" joined in the fray.
    // Soon we cleared the way on the rocky road to Dublin,

    ; // <- my elaborate code
}

In the first example, I see that TP will match the commented out bracket whereas Visual Studio does not. In the later, TP matches the bracket as expected.

Thats about right. However the matching braces code should take into account the fact that lines are commented out !

Clearly some more work needs to be done !

Thanks
