Xcode 11 breaks custom xclangspec?

Hey all,


I was wondering if anyone else had run into this issue or not. One project that I work on uses Pascal as its primary language. Previous Xcode versions allowed me to load an xclangspec file that had basic syntax coloring and commenting capability.


However, after updating to Xcode 11 I no longer have either of those options. The program recognizes the "Pascal Source" under "Identity and Type" in the File Inspector, but under "Syntax Coloring" in the Editor menu there is no Pascal option and I cannot comment any lines out.


Below are, respectively, the plugin data entry and the xclangspec

Indeed something is changed with paths. Try placing .xclangspec file to

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/SourceModel.framework/Versions/A/Resources/LanguageSpecific

ations

Also you need to create new plist metadata file inside /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/SourceModel.framework/Versions/A/Resources/LanguageMetadata

You can check examples there. Currently I haven't found proper workaround with local dir.


If you have extra time you can check which syscalls are called when you open Xcode (e.g. sudo fs_usage -w | grep "Pascal").

Absolutely brilliant. That was just what I needed. Everything is working just as expected now.


I needed to make some adjustments to the plist I was using before, as they made some changes to the keys used, but 5 minutes of that and I'm back in business.


Thanks so much!

How is it done?



I still can't

Have you had any issues getting this to work with Xcode 11.3? I did have it working with 11.0 but aren't having my luck with 11.3.

Same here: worked for me quite nicely in 11 up to, I believe, .1; far as I recall correctly from .2 up there seems to be no way to make the thing work again: my langspec shows in Editor/Syntax Coloring list all right, but can't be selected, and does not work 😟


I'd be really very grateful if anyone can explain how to add a new langspec into Xcode 11.3 (and up) reliably.


(Let me also link a loosely related question, how to make Xcode to add a file of some type into compiled sources, instead of into bundle resources: How Xcode decides which build phase to add a file into?)

Xcode 11 breaks custom xclangspec?
