This PR contains three types of changes: 1. Actual bug fix. This bug appeared, because prior to closing files, "Close all but this" attempts to save modified files, and for that it needs to switch views. Those views were not restored after that, however - so further actions could end up being executed on a wrong view. Those are changed commented with // We may have to restore previous view after saving new files. 2. Another potential bug fix. Closing files in both views could result in views being switched (it may or may not, I did not manage to unambiguously find that out from the code). To prevent any possible issues, I stored view IDs in viewNo. If those could never switch, then the code changes nothing - but if they could, it fixes a potential bug. 3. Code clarity fix in Notepad_plus::switchEditViewTo. std::swap makes it more obvious this code is there only to swap values around! Fixes #4911, Close #4920 |

What is Notepad++ ?
Notepad++ is a free (free as in both "free speech" and "free beer") source code editor and Notepad replacement that supports several programming languages and natural languages. Running in the MS Windows environment, its use is governed by GPL License.
Build Status
To build Notepad++ from source:
There are two components that need to be built separately:
notepad++.exe
: (depends onSciLexer.dll
)SciLexer.dll
: (with nmake)
You can build Notepad++ with or without Boost - The release build of Notepad++ is built with Boost.
Since Notepad++
version 6.0, the build of SciLexer.dll
that is distributed
uses features from Boost's Boost.Regex
library.
You can build SciLexer.dll without Boost, ie. with its default POSIX regular expression support instead of boost's PCRE one. This is useful if you would like to debug Notepad++, but don't have boost.
To build notepad++.exe
:
- Open
PowerEditor\visual.net\notepadPlus.vcxproj
- Build Notepad++ like a normal Visual Studio project.
To build SciLexer.dll
with boost:
Here are the instructions to build SciLexer.dll (for both 32-bit & 64-bit) for Notepad++:
- Download the Boost source code.
v1.55 should be used with VS 2013. Then unzip it. In my case,
boost_1_55_0
is copied inC:\sources\
- Go to
scintilla\boostregex\
then run BuildBoost.bat with your boost path. In my case:BuildBoost.bat C:\sources\boost_1_55_0
If you are compiling a 64 bit Scintilla under your VS2013 x64 Native tool command prompt, add-x64
flag. In my case:BuildBoost.bat C:\sources\boost_1_55_0 -x64
- Go in
scintilla\win32\
then runnmake -f scintilla.mak
To build SciLexer.dll
without boost:
This will work with notepad++.exe
, however some functionality in Notepad++ will be broken.
To build SciLexer.dll without PCRE support (for both 32-bit & 64-bit):
-
For 32-bit, open a command prompt for building (a.k.a. the Developer Command Prompt for VS2013)
- From the IDE, you can do this by right clicking on a file in Solution Explorer, and clicking "Open Command Prompt". This will open up a command prompt with all the proper environment variables.
- From the Windows Start screen/menu, type
Developer Command Prompt for VS2013
, and click/select the result. - From an already open command prompt, run
vcvarsall.bat
(e.g. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat").
For 64-bit, open VS2013 x64 Native tool command prompt.
-
Change directory (
cd
orpushd
) toscintilla\win32\
-
Build
SciLexer.dll
with one of the following commands:nmake NOBOOST=1 -f scintilla.mak
(normal build)nmake NOBOOST=1 DEBUG=1 -f scintilla.mak
(debugging build)
-
Copy
SciLexer.dll
fromscintilla\bin\
to the same directory asnotepad++.exe
.- For the
Unicode Release
configuration, the output directory (wherenotepad++.exe
is) isPowerEditor\bin\
. - For the
Unicode Debug
configuration, the output directory (wherenotepad++.exe
is) isPowerEditor\visual.net\Unicode Debug\
.
