I've started using foldmethod=marker for folding in my C++ source
files. Usually it works okay, but I find that several times a day the
syntax highlighting seems to get confused and start highlighting
braces after a particular fold in red, as if they did not have a
matching brace. This is never actually the case, and just doing an :e
<filename> again makes the problem go away for a while. It's
nevertheless an irritating issue and it just seems to occur at random.
Has anyone else had the same experience? Is there a fix? I'm using Vim
7.0 on WinXP.
It might be due to how far back syntax highlighting scans the source. In
that case,
:syn sync fromstart
might cure the problem, at the possible cost of some slowdown when
opening a file for editing.
The above sets the syntax sync method for the current file only. To
apply it to all C/C++ sources opened in the future:
:au Syntax c,cpp syn sync fromstart
-- and either add the same to your vimrc or create a
~/vimfiles/after/syntax/c.vim with the line
syn sync fromstart
in it. (Create any needed files and/or folders that don't yet exist.)
(Note: C syntax is invoked by the cpp syntax script.)
Best regards,
Tony.
