Is there a maximum to how many keywords can be defined in a keyword section of syntax files?

Hi,

There is no known limit.

Thanks

OK. That was a leading question. I have added the list of built-in functions to the PHP.syn file, and it doesn't seem to work. There are a couple of thousands of entries (About 6000 actually), so the limit must be somewhere below that.

My experimenting so far suggests that a maximum of 2048 characters are parsed for each KeywordXX= line
Could you increase this maximum?

Is there any performance hits by having so many entries registered as keywords btw.? Unless you're indexing them in some way, I reckon that looping through all entries all the time, will eat up CPU cycles pretty fast.

I can confirm this after some tests. This has been fixed for the next version.



Twistpad handles reasonably well a big amount of keywords / Start-stop sections, but I have to say that 6000 keywords will have performance issues in Twistpad.
