Bug 394353 – app-vim/gtk-syntax-20110214-r1 mishighlights the "if" keyword as a function.

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Petter Urkedal 2011-12-11 16:31:16 UTC]

To of the C syntax extensions in gtk-syntax highlights the "if" keyword a a function.

In /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/syntax/clutter.vim:
syn keyword clutterFunction [...] if

In /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/syntax/gobject.vim:
syn keyword gobjectFunction [...] if

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Turn on syntax hightighting in Vim and use a colourscheme which distinguishes functions from conditionals, (e.g. ":colorscheme bclear").
2. Open a C sources file.
3. Look of an "if" keyword.
Actual Results:  
"if" is highlighted as a function.

Expected Results:  
"if" is highlighted as a conditional.

As a workaround the respective runtime-directives in /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/after/syntax/c.vim can be commented out.

I forgot: The package version is app-vim/gtk-syntax-20110214-r1.

Patch for gtk-syntax-20110214/syntax/clutter.vim and .../gobject.vim.

Removed `if` keyword from clutter.vim and gobject.vim. Other files do not contain it. Syntax highlighting is OK after this.

I can confirm this.  Indeed those 2 vim files contain an "if" at the end.  This is actually already fixed upstream in version 20110314:

ebuild for latest version

I just copied gtk-syntax-20110214-r1.ebuild and gave it an appropriate name (and removed the $Header line since I don't have that information yet).  It inherits "vim-plugin", which I assume contains all the logic to fetch the correct file.

This should be fixed in >=20121015.
