script type

ftplugin

description

This is a filetype plugin for Matlab .m files. It runs Matlab's mlint function at appropriate times, parses the output and highlights the code in a similar fashion to the Matlab editor. The script maps <LocalLeader>l to its RunLint() function, so you can run the mlint tool at other times other than the automatic ones. <LocalLeader>m gives the messages from mlint on the status line for the line that the cursor is on. To view all the messages for a file, use <LocalLeader>o to bring up the quickfix list. On windows the automatic updating can get quite annoying because it pops up a command window everytime it runs mlint, even if only briefly. I would like to call mlint using "start /b mlint" which should prevent this, however there is a bug in Vim which stops me being able to do this. So as a workaround you can optionally disable running mlint on hover by putting this line in your .vimrc: let mlint_hover = 0

install details

package	script version	date	Vim version	user	release notes
matlab.vim	0.6.1	2011-10-22	7.0	Thomas Ibbotson	Now uses the quickfix list with <LocalLeader>o
matlab.vim	0.6	2011-10-21	7.0	Thomas Ibbotson	Add an outline window to show all mlint messages for the file, using <LocalLeader>o.
matlab.vim	0.5	2011-10-21	7.0	Thomas Ibbotson	Ben Fritz: This fixes that Windows does stupid things with shellescape() if shellslash is set.
matlab.vim	0.4	2009-08-18	7.0	Thomas Ibbotson	Ben Fritz: RunLint() only called on a cursorhold event if the buffer has been changed.
matlab.vim	0.3.1	2009-05-29	7.0	Thomas Ibbotson	Another bug fix for deleting the temporary directory. Directory deletion was failing as there was still a '.m~' file in the directory. This is now deleted, allowing the directory to be deleted.
matlab.vim	0.3	2008-10-14	7.0	Thomas Ibbotson	More fixes from Benjamin Fritz: 1.) File names with spaces handled properly 2.) fnameescape and shellescape now used properly 3.) allowed user to specify path to mlint in case it isn't in the system path 4.) detect failure deleting temp directory by checking for existence of the directory after the deletion 5.) show messages that mlint gives about line 0 (the filename)
matlab.vim	0.2.1	2008-10-13	7.0	Thomas Ibbotson	Fixed temporary directory deletion bug (as far as I have tested it).
matlab.vim	0.2	2008-10-13	7.0	Thomas Ibbotson	Added significant changes made by Benjamin Fritz. Now deletes the temporary folders it creates. the clearLint() function now only deletes the MLint matches rather than all of them as it had previously. Known bug: on unloading the buffer the temporary directory is deleted, reloading the buffer causes the script to error as it can't find the directory. I am working on a fix for this and should upload it soon. Also note that the script will on work with Vim 7.1 or higher.
mlint.vim	0.1	2008-09-25	7.2	Thomas Ibbotson	Initial upload
