Basically my question is, is there a precompiled Pascal parser required, or can it be done using the generic parser with filling in some syntax dictionary keywords?
It should work under m68k, too.
This should be possible, Pascal has a more clear syntax than C for example. But if it is possible to do via your generic parser, depends on your parser
I use in EdiSyn such a generic Parser which supports many formats which can be introduced via a text file
https://github.com/alb42/fpc-tests/blob/master/lcl/SynUniHighlighter/Highlighters/
for example: for Delphi/Object Pascal:
https://github.com/alb42/fpc-tests/blob/master/lcl/SynUniHighlighter/Highlighters/Delphi.hgl
This should already help, you can find the most keywords in there. In principle it would be enough to highlight the keywords (take care: Pascal is not case sensitive!)
<KW Name="Pascal Terms"> Keywords see the list there
<KW Name="Standard types"> available basic types see the list there
Comments:
<Range Name="Remarks {...}"> allows nesting
<Range Name="Remarks //"> line comment like c
<Range Name="Remarks (*...*)"> no Nesting!
Strings:
<Range Name="Strings"> -> 'string'
Compiler directives:
<Range Name="Directives"> {$...}
and Numbers 0..9 e.g. 13232
HexNumbers $0..F e.g. $DEADBEEF
Chars #0..#255 e.g. #13#10 (CRLF on windows) #10 (LF on Unix/Amiga
)
