These are syntax highlighting files for the VIM editor. Included are: | |
* llvm.vim | |
Syntax highlighting mode for LLVM assembly files. To use, copy `llvm.vim' to | |
~/.vim/syntax and add this code to your ~/.vimrc : | |
augroup filetype | |
au! BufRead,BufNewFile *.ll set filetype=llvm | |
augroup END | |
* tablegen.vim | |
Syntax highlighting mode for TableGen description files. To use, copy | |
`tablegen.vim' to ~/.vim/syntax and add this code to your ~/.vimrc : | |
augroup filetype | |
au! BufRead,BufNewFile *.td set filetype=tablegen | |
augroup END | |
If you prefer, instead of making copies you can make symlinks from | |
~/.vim/syntax/... to the syntax files in your LLVM source tree. Apparently | |
this did not work with older versions of vim however, so if this doesn't | |
work you may need to make actual copies of the files. | |
Another option, if you do not already have a ~/.vim/syntax directory, is | |
to symlink ~/.vim/syntax itself to llvm/utils/vim . | |
Note: If you notice missing or incorrect syntax highlighting, please contact | |
<llvmbugs [at] cs.uiuc.edu>; if you wish to provide a patch to improve the | |
functionality, it will be most appreciated. Thank you. | |
If you find yourself working with LLVM Makefiles often, but you don't get syntax | |
highlighting (because the files have names such as Makefile.rules or | |
TEST.nightly.Makefile), add the following to your ~/.vimrc: | |
" LLVM Makefile highlighting mode | |
augroup filetype | |
au! BufRead,BufNewFile *Makefile* set filetype=make | |
augroup END |
