There goes the editor war again :) As Windows developer I'm mostly usingYes, the version of vim that came with (I believe) Red Hat 6.0 has the definitions in its syntax file for proper "#if 0" highlighting. As common a practice as this has become, any syntax-highlighting editor with some degree of maturity that did *not* have this in its default rulesets for C/C++ would surprise me.What language-independent, syntax-highlighting text editor are you using? -- Jeff SI wouldn't say so. A comment is easily recognized by the chars /* */ or //. But to get a #if 0 or #if _ANYTHING you really need a language dependant preprocessor which goes beyond a normal text editor, even one with syntax coloring. Do you have such a text editor that finds #if's?
MSVC, still version 6, About says it's from 98. I don't know about .net studio
if this supports #if 0. For our own product we use an open-source editor for
Windows called CodeMax. An expanded version is here http://www.ticz.com/homes/users/nlewis/index.html?target=download
Considering the age of these two it's maybe understandable why they
don't have this feature. Tell me an editor in Windows and I may switch.
As said before they don't color all files the same, they get the language
from the file extension and I guess vim does the same. Recognizing the
#if 0 is the only difference (well, at least concerning coloring :)
On Linux I used Kate so far. Hmm, Kate also supports #if 0, never noticed
that...
