colour highlighting of syntax

[major_small]

I've got my own, but it gets color happy if you use keywords in parts of your variable names... for example, int sprint would look bad.

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
    int ch;

    while ((ch = getchar()) != EOF)
        if (ch == '\n')
            printf("\n");
        else
            printf("%0x ", ch ^ 0xaa);

    return 0;
}

oh yeah, and it's C++ specific... or I should say C wasn't included in it's design considerations as you can see from the code above.

It seems that the consideration that keywords should be delimited by whitespace was also not in the design.

Have you ever thought of fixing it or would that be a completely bizarre suggestion on my part?

I have thought of that, and at first glance it seems like a good idea... but that won't always work: static_cast<int>(12.5);

More correctly they should be delimited by word boundaries, i.e. /\b\w+?\b/.

I just use Vim's Convert to HTML and filter that through a Perl script to get BBCode whenever I want to get pretty. E.g.

 1 #include <stdio.h>
 2 
 3 int main(void) {
 4     int ch;
 5 
 6     while ((ch = getchar()) != EOF)
 7         if (ch == '\n')
 8             printf("\n");
 9         else
10             printf("%0x ", ch ^ 0xaa);
11     printf("while Fooo if bar \"stuff\" foo break 'bar'....");
12 
13     return 0;
14 }
