Bug ID: 358692
Summary: Rust supports nested block comments
Product: frameworks-ktexteditor
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: mtes...@outlook.com
Rust supports nested block comments. So, a block comment doesn't end with the
first "*/" sequence, but instead it counts how often "/*" had been before. [1]
Kate however doesn't support this and assumes behaviour similar to C, which
doesn't have nested block comments. As an example, take the code at [2], and
copy it into kate, setting the format to "Rust". It won't highlight the first
"main" function as comment, even though it should (and the format [2] even
does).

[2]: https://play.rust-lang.org/?gist=50645e9b3c25b92d59ed&version=stable
I haven't checked the latest version of Kate, my version is 15.08.2 (KDE
Frameworks 5.15.0), but from git log src/syntax/data/rust.xml I can see there
hasn't been any change of the rust format file since may 2015, and the commit
at the v5.15.0 tag is more recent.
