C/C++ syntax highlighting bug

[Prazz]

Arguments of macros which have more than one argument can't be hightlighted correctly.

That's because the code has undefined behavior. <g>

No, There is something wrong with the C.tmLanguage

Line 170: ((,) \s* \g&lt;id&gt; \s*)* // \g<id> dosen't work
Line 171: (?:\.\.\.)? // should be corrected as (?:,\s*\.\.\.\s*)?

In short...

replace starting at line 162 with this:

            <key>begin</key>
            <string>(?x)
                ^\s*\#\s*(define)\s+        # define
                (([a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*))  # macro name
                (?:                         # and optionally:
                    (\()                    # an open parenthesis
                        (
                            \s* ([a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*) \s*         # first argument
                            ((,) \s* ([a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*) \s*)*  # additional arguments
                            (?:,\s*\.\.\.\s*)?                       # varargs ellipsis?
                        )
                    (\))                         # a close parenthesis
                )?
            </string>

Sigh. No sense of humor.

Hi, I also noticed some bugs in C++ syntax highlighting.

Keywords public/private/protected are not properly highlighted for base classes.



Method name highlighting breaks in classes with more than one base class.



Edit: There's also bug when calling template functions/methods.

Yeah, but even if this is fixed, there is still a second problem - The commas separating the macro arguments would be highlighted along with the macro arguments!
And the this problem can't be solved just by editing the C.tmLanguage... It got me, a perfectionist, anxious.

sigh, really wish the author work more on C/C++ syntax highlighting.

This can be fixed as well in the C.tmLanguage. It would just require some more complexity. I don't have time right now, but maybe in a couple of days.

Yes, the C tmLanguage file isn't that good. It needs a lot of work. I do a little here and there on my own personal copy of it. I mainly try to hit the things that annoy me most since I stare at C code all day.

I'm not sure why you can't see them. They are uploaded to CloudApp so maybe there are some issues with the service.

I'm spending most of my time working with C++ code and those little things are making me crazy Editing *.tmLanguage files is not trivial task, but maybe someone had worked on similar issues and simply will share some solutions.

It is a little suprising to see such limited support for C/C++, I belive that ST2 was written mainly with C++ so you could expect that it will at least provide better syntax highlighting.
