Color.Token

Visual Studio extension: Color C++ Tokens.

Status

Branch	Build Status
`2022`
`2019`
`2017`

Description

Extension adds options to overwrite colors of certain C++ Tokens.
Extension works in files of ContentType "C/C++", eg .cpp or .h files.

Usage

New entries will appear in Tools → Options → Environment → Fonts and Colors → Text Editor.
Each will begin with C++ Token: prefix.

Edit their color values, until you want to keep extension default ones (listed below).
If you don't want to change some token's color at all, set it's Item foreground value to Automatic.

Preview

Default Tokens without extension	Color Tokens with extension enabled

Option

New entry will appear in Tools → Options → Color.Token.

Color macros (`bool`, default: `false`)

Color macros which text is exact as tokens (eg color bool macro defined by stdbool.h header in C).

Note

Note that editing option does not take immediate effect to keep performance.
It requires reclassification, eg triggered by editing corresponding part of code.

List of Tokens

Extension exposes following Tokens for customization:

All keywords, except:
- Keywords that provide an alternative way to represent standard tokens, eg xor_eq (trigraphs are removed)
- register keyword (it's unused)
Identifiers with special meaning, except:
- Identifiers used as contract-level in Contract Attributes, except default (it's also a keyword)

default (switch statement) means default keyword is followed by : (possibly after whitespaces).
