Following the discussion in vim mailing list, and now that
more C compilers support c99 features, what do you think about
adding two explicit filetypes, c89 and c99, to allow vim scripts
to clearly distinguish between the two distinct flavors of C:
--- file syntax/c89.vim --
Vim syntax file
Language: C99 flavor of C (as opposed to C89)
let c_no_c99
runtime c.vim
file syntax/c99.vim ---
Vim syntax file
Language: C89 flavour of C (as opposed to C99)
unlet c_no_c99
runtime c.vim
I am unsure about couple of points:
1) shall variable c_no_c99 be not global but buffer-local ?
What c.vim checks is global var, is not it ?
2) is addition to filetypes.vim needed ?
I think we should keep the filetype name at C. Adding variables to
specify what kind of C is fine, but using c89 and c99 as a filetype
name will cause trouble (you would need to triple all plugins that are
related to C).
There might be a way in between: when 'filetype' is set to c89 or
c99 an autocommand or plugin sets the global variable and sets
'filetype' to c. I haven't seen this used yet, there might very well
be some disadvantages. At least it would be possible to set the
filetype in a modeline.
