Package: vim-runtime
Version: 2:8.1.2269-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
While using vim for editing .cu (CUDA) files I have noticed multiple
false syntax errors highlighted. I have checked that those were indeed
misreported by succesfully compiling the file!
This occurs when curly brackets are embedded withing round brackets,
which has a number of uses in modern c++(), like emplacing an element into
container using initialization lists, or calling <algorithm> functions
with lambdas! Following would be a minimal example producing the false
highlight:
foo( {} );
This issue extends to {} within [] too, although this specific scenario
is much less likely to occur, I still can think of ways a developer
would encounter it, like constructing an rvalue for custom operator[]
with initialization list.
Such syntaxis is highlighted properly for C++ source files, however for
some reason it fails for CUDA, even though CUDA is specified to support
most of the C++ syntax features, and it is implemented as a superset of
C++ highlighting in file /usr/share/vim/vim81/syntax/cuda.vim;
Kind regards,
Artem Bondarenko
