mimeTypesSupportedByBuiltInStyles: remove text/x-objchdr
This change eliminates the following warnings from KDevelop's output:
kdevplatform.shell: formatter plugin "kdevastyle" supports unknown mimetype entry "text/x-objchdr"
kdevplatform.shell: formatter plugin "kdevcustomscript" supports unknown mimetype entry "text/x-objchdr"
The removed text/x-objchdr MIME type is very rarely used. There is no
mention of it in Qt Creator's code. KSyntaxHighlighting refers to
text/x-c-hdr in data/syntax/objectivec[pp].xml. This KCoreAddons commit
https://commits.kde.org/kcoreaddons/e5f09f84a945af4edf4f346aed409acf29905414
removed it as useless. Indeed, it shares the extension *.h with C. Not
even C++ competes for this file extension in the MIME type database,
even though a large proportion of *.h files are C++ headers. So I doubt
the MIME type DB maintainers would agree to risk issues and slow down C
header detection to accommodate this rare case. Theoretically,
Objective-C headers could be detected with #import
magic, but that
wouldn't be reliable, because Objective-C headers can start with a
comment or with #include
, which share C's syntax.
This MIME type is currently useless in KDevelop anyway, because it is only included in MIME type lists and never appears in conditions.
Apparently even macOS does not have a notion of Objective-C header file type. The Compiled Programming Language Sources section of Apple's System Declared UTI documentation contains cHeader, cSource, cPlusPlusHeader, cPlusPlusSource, objectiveCPlusPlusSource and objectiveCSource, but no objectiveC[PlusPlus]Header: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uniformtypeidentifiers/system_declared_uniform_type_identifiers
R.J.V. Bertin added this MIME type to KDevelop code in a0992d31. He agreed to remove it during a recent discussion in comments under https://phabricator.kde.org/D15532
