Bug 484610 – app-editors/vim-core - faulty highlighting and folding for compound initializers in C syntax

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Cedric Sodhi 2013-09-11 19:45:02 UTC]

Created attachment 358490 [details]
C file with correct C99 syntax

Since other VIM users, using the upstream vim of version 7.4 with the according vanilla C syntax file (v 7.4.22 here) do not reproduce the issue, I have to assume it's Gentoo specific.

For one, compound intializers such as

myFuncTakingArray3OfInt( (int[]){1,2,3} )

are highlighted as errors (seemingly because the curly braces appear within round parenthesis).

Further, folding does not work correctly near such compound intializers. See the attached file where vim claims the block level dropped to 0 from l.6 to l.7.

Which version of app-editors/vim-core is that?

Hi Cedric!

I have tried with upstream's C syntax and it doesn't work either (8.0.1188). Please reopen this bug with a link to the syntax file that works on your end and we will add it to our repo.

Thanks!
