See the various flavours of the ":syntax sync" command:

     :help :syn-sync
     :help :syn-sync-maxlines
     :help :syn-sync-linebreaks
     :help :syn-sync-first   " fromstart
     :help :syn-sync-second  " ccomment
     :help :syn-sync-third   " minlines
     :help :syn-sync-fourth  " patterns: grouphere, groupthere, linecount

Thanks! I believe syn sync minlines should work in most of the cases.
However, I do find that there is some magic in C. Just save my syntax
file as c.vim in vimfiles\syntax, and the test.asm file (renamed as
test.c) works perfectly. Check attachment if interested.

Anyone knows where the magic is?
