Mipsy Support

Mipsy Support adds language support for MIPS assembly language, specifically as implemented by mipsy.

Features

Syntax Highlighting

Semantic syntax highlighting only colourizes labels and constants that are defined elsewhere in the document.

Code Completion

Context-aware code completion for instructions, directives, instructions, labels, and constants.

Snippets

Snippets with configurable comment indentation for all mipsy-supported syscalls.

Label & Constant Definitions / References

Support for navigating definitions and usages of labels and constants through visual studio code's UI.

Recommended Settings

MIPS displays best with 8-space tab indentation, and several features in this extension assume the following settings:

{
    "[mips]": {
        "editor.tabSize": 8,
        "editor.insertSpaces": false
    }
}

Known Issues

• No support for multi-file projects

Planned Features

• Keybind to automatically indent to comment column
