Hi, I'm trying to add C/C++ semantic highlighting to the Vim and encountered a problem(s) when using matchaddpos() function.
1. Let's say I've added some text on the line 5 to the match group, and then went into insert mode and added new line before line 5. The text moves to line 6 and that messes up all highlighting. For example signs are staying in the correct positions in such cases, and this behavior is non-intuitive. 2. After a quick look to the matchadd source: it seems that matchaddpos is a adapted version of matchadd by pattern, and all matches are stored in the linked list. This raises performance concerns; in a large files there can be several thousands semantic tokens and creating a match for each token can slow things down. Though I haven't tested it for large files yet. So does matchaddpos intended for such heavy usage? Regards, Davit. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
