C++ syntax settings selector not working properly about language-c HOT 7 CLOSED

Thanks for reporting this, this is most likely a core bug where the config system is corrupting the selectors.

The problem might actually be in slick, the node module we use to parse CSS selectors:

selector = ".c\\+\\+.source"
selector = slick.parse(selector).toString() # => "*.c++.source"
selector = slick.parse(selector).toString() # => "*.c ++ *.source"

It removes the backslashes, which are needed the next time the selector is parsed.

The simplest fix would probably be @nickgravelyn's idea:

it might be good to change the syntax scope to "cpp" instead

@kevinsawicki what do you think?

from language-c.

Yeah, I'm all for changing it, the pluses were never a good idea to begin with and were just a leftover from converting the TextMate bundle.

The downside is breakage of any themes, snippets, etc. that are currently out there.
