The question originates from my wish to have automatic user defined
types syntax highlighting. So that if I have for example a syntax match
group
UDT for classes and have this in the buffer
1 class mytype {
2 //...
3 };
4
5 mytype a;
6 mytype b;
"mytype" is highlighted on lines 5 and 6 besides 1.
To my knowledge this is not possible in vim unless the source code is
modified.
So the information I was searching was at source code level to complete
implementing this feature.
