Hi everyone,
In a C programme for example is there a way to get Vim to ignore matches
that are commented out when searching for a string?
I found another solution, posted on this list in 2004 (not by me).
This list archive is full of gold!

function! SearchNoComment(str, opt)
let b:found = 0
while (b:found == 0)
call search(a:str, a:opt)
let b:name=synIDattr( synID(line('.'), col('.'), 1), "name")
"Whether it's within a comment?
if b:name !~? "comment"
let b:found=1
endif
endwhile
endfunction
and, then map the n and N command as follows:
nnoremap n :silent call SearchNoComment('<C-R>=@/<CR>', 'f')<CR>
nnoremap N :silent call SearchNoComment('<C-R>=@/<CR>', 'b')<CR>
For the first search, you use /pattern as normal, for the later search of
the same pattern, just use n or N.
It won't work for the first search, unless you use :call
SearchNoComment('pattern', 'f')
I think it's impossible to enable such a feature in a
incremental search, is it?
Note, you needn't to map # and * command, it's naturally n and N,
separately.
