Re: Trying to create a new language with udl

Hi Markus,

I can duplicate both problems.

This starter code works:

########################################################
# UDL for permas

language permas

family markup
initial IN_M_DEFAULT

sublanguage permas

start_style M_DEFAULT
end_style M_COMMENT

state IN_M_DEFAULT:
'!' : paint(upto, M_DEFAULT), => IN_DAT_COMMENT

state IN_DAT_COMMENT:
/[\r\n]/ : paint(upto, M_COMMENT), paint(include, M_DEFAULT), => IN_M_DEFAULT

########################################################

but only if it's in the target directory where you run
koext from.  If you don't put it in there, koext processes
an empty UDL file, which triggers a crash when Komodo
tries to load a .perm file.

See http://bugs.activestate.com/show_bug.cgi?id=81200 for details.

BTW, the difference is that I provided an initial-state directive.
Looks like without it, no coloring takes place.  (I should know,
I wrote it, but it was a while ago...).
