It is a constant structure, useful, in this case, as a macro to
indicate a constant value.  The "field:" thing is gcc, the proper C99
syntax is:

   { .field = 4 }

But what is confusing vim is the braces inside of the parens.  As Bram
mentioned in another email, this can be disabled, but it makes vim not
able to detect unclosed parens.


Have you tried the alternate C syntax highlight file here?

Highlighting curly braces inside parenthesis is about the only way to
detect a missing closing parenthesis.

You can disable this with:
:let c_no_curly_error = 1

You won't be able to see missing parenthesis then.  Blame C99 to make a
syntax that's hard to check.

C syntax problem with C99 initializers.

2007-03-19 Thread David Brown 
A macro like this:

  #define FOO ((fooy) { field: 4 })

causes vim to highlight the braces (in an angry fashion), and seems to
cause it consider all of the remaining braces in the file to be in
error as well.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
David Brown
