The plan is to include a new regexp engine in Vim 7.4. For testing I would like to get a lot of files for which we have syntax highlighting. I can then compare the highlighting of these files with the old and the new engine to find anything that is not compatible.
Please send me a file that exercises most regexp patterns in the syntax file. It doesn't need to be long, but it should be a complex example of the language. Send it as an attachment to avoid the white space being messed up by the mail system. I would prefer one file per syntax, but it must be valid syntax. If one file is problematic (e.g., you can't concatenate small files without making it invalid), then a few files would be OK. A rough goal would be 1000 lines. At some later point we might also want to do performance measurements. Although I already have a few "bad" examples for that. IMPORTANT: I will distribute the collection of files, so that others can reproduce problems, do performance measurements, etc. Make sure your file has a copyright that permits this. Don't reveal any secrets, patents, trademarks, etc. A line stating that the Vim license applies should be sufficient. -- This is the polymorph virus! Follow these instructions carefully: 1.
