This is a major mode for editing TADS3 code. The goal is to keep all the features of c++-mode and provide some TADS3-specific additions. The mode falls back on CC Modes' c++-mode for most of its functionality, and so is probably only useful for TADS3 code written in the 'C' style (using semicolons after property definitions, braces for object definitions, empty parens for argument-less function/method defintions and so on). Even if you're not excited about those conventions, you might consider them a small price for the awesome code editing functionality of CC Mode.
ctads-mode requires CC Mode. It works with cc-mode 5.32.5, which is current at this time.
Put ctads-mode.el somewhere in your load path, optionally byte-compile it, and add the following to your .emacs file:
(autoload 'ctads-mode "ctads-mode" "Major mode for editing TADS3 code" t)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.t$" . ctads-mode))You can disable ctads-mode's handling of multiline strings by putting something like this in your .emacs file:
(setq ctads-prettify-multiline-strings nil)There's a bug in Emacs 24.4 that breaks cc-mode derived modes. On loading the mode, it may give the following error:
Eager macro-expansion failure: (void-function cl-macroexpand-all)
To work around it, add the following line to your .emacs, somewhere before the ctads-mode autoload:
(require 'cl)
