vim's syntax highlighting + typedefs from #include foo.h

2001-01-01 Thread markm
Hi, Is it possible to get vim to have a look through your #included files and colour the defined types? In particular, it would be nice to have 'gfloat' coloured similar to 'float', when including glib.h Alternatively, should I be using :syntax match and friends? Regards, Mark.
