 IDE Alpha V0.31c - Live Function Parsing

     So today it's looking likely we've got another brand new feature for the IDE which is Live User Defined Function parsing. This is something I've been struggling with for a while now, the main concern has always been the exponential growth of complexity as the source gets bigger. The deeper the view of of the source, the more work required for the IDE keep up with what you're doing. Ideally, it'd be best have keyword level identification of every token in the source, but that really doesn't seem viable. So moving on from that we end up with live parsing.

     In this version you get a quick peek at the live parser implemented into source view. What it allows the IDE to do, is build a list of user defined Function names within the source. These are then used in the syntax highlighting. They're currently coloured blue so you can see whats the user function and whats the built in function.

     Here we have a quick example of what I'm talking about.
