Class / Field parsing error??

[mgalloy]

The following code:

;+
;  uses utility_compile,multi_element_compile
;-

@time_series_data_model
@analysis_cache
@analysis_cache_support
@star_eti_analysis_subject
@processing_module_link

;+
;  Description: Handles user window selection and starts up the
;  multi_element_image_canvas window
;
;  @author: Chris Widdis
;  @field image_parent_widget An object containing the main base
;   widget
;  @field button_panel_id The widget id of the button panel
;  @field data_model_obj The data model object
;  @field data_nav_handle Handle of the data navigation settings.
;   Data navigation is not implemented, but would be simple to do so
;  @field multi_element_image_canvas Object reference to the
;   multi_element_image_canvas
;  @field analysis_cache_handle Handle of the cache where the requests
;   are stored when suspend analysis is pressed
;  @field display_output_handle Handle to the file output structure
;  @field caller_handle Handle of the one responsible for cleaning up
;   the analysis window
;  @field notify_procedure string of the function used to notify the
;   caller_handle it has closed.  It has the form:
;   pro notify_procedure, caller_handle

PRO multi_element_analysis_window_settings__define
  struct = { multi_element_analysis_window_settings, $
             image_parent_widget:obj_new(), $
             button_panel_id:0L, $
             data_model_obj:obj_new(), $ 
             data_nav_handle:0L, $
             multi_element_image_canvas:obj_new(), $
             analysis_cache_handle:0L, $
             display_output_handle:0L, $
             caller_handle:0L, $
             notify_procedure: "" }
END

results in the following errors:

Author: jhood I did some testing to try and learn more about this. If I have a number of similar structure definitions in a file the 2nd and on procedures (name2!__define, etc.) are converted to class definitions and the @field lines are parsed without error, and show correctly in the IDLDoc output.

I noted that your source code tends to put the name!__define procedure near the end of the file. Maybe this is a clue to the difference?

Note as well that these filenames don't end in !__define though you seem to have removed this restriction from your parsing of structure/class definitions.

[mgalloy]

There is some oddities with the class handling. The filename shouldn't have to end in __define, but I don't think I have any tests where it doesn't right now.

Normally, I only have one class per file and to make the classes found automatically, I put the __define routine as the last routine in a file with the same name. There are a few examples of multiple classes in a single file, though (MGffTemplate has a few helper classes in the same file that it is defined in).

See r436 for some changes that might affect this ticket.

[mgalloy]

Changeset r439 should fix this. I also added a test regression/nonautoclasses/ for this case.

Author: anonymous Most of my errors have gone away. I would also consider this issue closed. I will investigate remaining errors and repair my markup or open a new ticket if required.
