This file contains additional syntax highlighting that I use for C++11/14 development in Vim. Compared to the standard syntax highlighting for C++ it adds highlighting of (user defined) functions and the containers and types in the standard library / boost.
Development is done at: http:https://github.com/octol/vim-cpp-enhanced-highlight
Highlighting of class scope if disabled by default. To enable set
let g:cpp_class_scope_highlight = 1
Highlighting of template functions is enabled by setting
let g:cpp_experimental_template_highlight = 1
Note: C++ template syntax is notoriously difficult to parse, so don't expect this feature to be perfect.
Follow one of the sets of directions below and reload vim afterwards.
If you have vundle installed, add
Plugin 'octol/vim-cpp-enhanced-highlight'
to .vimrc and run :PluginInstall
from vim.
If you have pathogen installed, and you prefer to use git submodules, the following bash commands will help you do so.
cd ~/.vim
git submodule add https://github.com/octol/vim-cpp-enhanced-highlight.git bundle/syntax/
If you don't have either Vundle or Pathogen installed, copy the cpp.vim file (optionally also c.vim) to .vim/after/syntax.
git clone https://github.com/octol/vim-cpp-enhanced-highlight.git /tmp
mkdir -p ~/.vim/after/syntax/
mv /tmp/vim-cpp-enhanced-highlight/after/syntax/cpp.vim after/syntax/cpp.vim
rm -rf /tmp/vim-cpp-enhanced-highlight
