There are a handful of syntax files that use backslash continuation
characters without ensuring that cpoptions is missing C, so when running
vim in vi compatibility mode (such as when there's no .vimrc), you'll get
errors like
Error detected while processing /usr/share/vim/vim73/syntax/po.vim:
line 37:
E10: \ should be followed by /, ? or &
line 39:
E10: \ should be followed by /, ? or &
when editing a .po file and running "syn on". Most syntax scripts (at
least those that use continuation characters) execute "set cpo&vim" and
reset cpo at the end of the script, but these don't:
autoit.vim
cmake.vim
cucumber.vim
datascript.vim
fvwm.vim
lsl.vim
mrxvtrc.vim
objc.vim
perl6.vim
php.vim
po.vim
sgmldecl.vim
taskdata.vim
taskedit.vim
tex.vim
valgrind.vim
I'm happy to submit a patch that fixes these, but there are many scripts
outside the syntax directory that would have the same problem, and I don't
know whether these should be fixed in the vim distro or further upstream
first, so I'm looking for guidance.
Thanks,
Danek
