This extension provides language support for the Zen C programming language.
Features
Syntax Highlighting: Colorization for keywords, types, functions, strings, and comments.
IntelliSense: Code completion for local variables, function arguments, and struct fields.
Hover: Documentation and type information on hover.
Go to Definition: Navigate to symbol definitions.
Diagnostics: Real-time error reporting and type checking.
Requirements
You must have the Zen C compiler installed. The extension starts its language server, zc-lsp, which make install puts next to zc: either have it in your PATH or set zenc.serverPath.
Install via Open VSX (VSCodium, Cursor and other editors): Zen C - CE
From Source
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/zenc-lang-ce/zenc-vscode.git

Press F5 to build and launch the extension in debug mode.
Configuration
This extension contributes the following settings:
zenc.serverPath: Path to the language server (zc-lsp). Empty by default: zc-lsp is looked up in your PATH. A path to the zc compiler also works: the zc-lsp next to it is used, or zc lsp with compilers that predate zc-lsp.
zenc.server.verbose: Start the language server with --verbose, so it logs what it does to the "Zen C Language Server" output. Default: false.
zenc.trace.server: Trace the messages between VS Code and the language server (off, messages or verbose). Default: off.
zenc.server.enable: Start the language server. When disabled, syntax highlighting and editing support remain. Default: true.
Commands
Zen C: Restart Language Server: restarts the language server, e.g. after rebuilding it. It also restarts by itself when zenc.serverPath, zenc.server.verbose or zenc.server.enable changes.
Zen C: Show Language Server Output: opens the language server's output, where its logs and traces go.
