Code re2c
Experimental linting and syntax highlighting for re2c!
How to use
File associations
re2c code blocks will be automatically detected within C, C++, Go and Rust
source files. In addition, this extension also creates the following default
associations:
| Extension |
Language |
*.re, *.c.re |
C |
*.cc.re, *.cpp.re, *.cxx.re |
C++ |
*.go.re |
Go |
*.rs.re |
Rust |
If you don't like the default *.re being tied to C, you can override it by
just modifying your files.associations in your settings.json file. For
example, to make the default language C++:
"files.associations": {
"*.re": "cpp"
}
Linting
Linting occurs only when you open a document or save it, as it relies on running
and parsing command output.
A re2c binary somewhere in your system is required for it. If its not on your
PATH, you can manually set the path to it in your settings:
"code-re2c.re2c.path": "/path/to/re2c"
By default, only the -W flag is passed to the re2c binary. You can override
the arguments to pass in your settings:
"code-re2c.re2c.arguments": ["-W", "-Werror-empty-character-class"]
Known issues
Flex syntax mode is unsupported. Syntax highlighting is bound to be skewed
when using features pertaining to it.
Code blocks of C/C++/Go/Rust within a re2c block won't get properly colored.
TextMate is simply too much of a headache to implement such a thing.
