taylor.fish fork of rust.vim

This is a fork of rust.vim with an updated syntax highlighting file (syntax/rust.vim).

For the original README, see README.orig.md.

Installation

Copy syntax/rust.vim to ~/.vim/syntax/:

git clone https://codeberg.org/taylordotfish/rust.vim
mkdir -p ~/.vim/syntax
cp rust.vim/syntax/rust.vim ~/.vim/syntax/

Changes

• Added ability to customize which edition is used for highlighting. Set g:rust_edition before the syntax file is loaded; e.g., let g:rust_edition = 2021 or let g:rust_edition = "latest".
• Added support for safe fn.
• Added support for &raw const and &raw mut.
• Added support for pub(in ...).
• Added support for the gen keyword. (Fixes #521.)
• Added support for items added to the prelude in the 2021 and 2024 editions, like TryFrom and Future.
• Keywords in positions where an item name is expected are now highlighted (e.g., fn do() {} or mod priv;). (Fixes #406.)
• Added support for non-ASCII characters in identifiers (Café::new()).
• Added support for ? as a macro repetition operator ($()?). (Fixes #498.)
• Fixed highlighting of successive borrow operators (&&x).
• Fixed highlighting of lifetime bounds ('a: 'b).
• Fixed false positive highlighting of child path components as built-in types; e.g., str in std::str::FromStr is a module rather than a type.
• Fixed false positive highlighting of enum variants as prelude items; e.g., Box in enum Shape { Box, Sphere } or let s = Shape::Box. This also applies to associated types, as in let x: <T as Trait>::String.
• Added support for raw identifiers in paths and function calls (r#foo()).
• as is now highlighted as a keyword rather than an operator. (Fixes #493.)
• Updated list of derive macros.
• Improved highlighting of async, await, try, and dyn.
• Improved highlighting of impl ... for ... using proper parsing.
• Improved detection of turbofish function calls (f::<T>()).
• Improved parsing of attributes (fixes cases like #[[]]).
• Fixed parsing of /* */* (previously parsed as a comment containing an unclosed nested comment).
• Improved detection of which Markdown code blocks should be highlighted as Rust code in doc comments.
• Fixed parsing of multiline attributes and macro repetition expressions ($(x)*) inside code blocks in doc comments.
• Fixed parsing of non-Rust code blocks in block doc comments (/** */).
• Fixed parsing of doc comments containing an unclosed code block.
• Leading # characters in doc comment code blocks (to hide lines in rustdoc’s output) are now highlighted.
• Added option not to highlight code in doc comments: let g:rust_highlight_doc_code = 0 before the syntax file is loaded. (Fixes #407.)
• Reduced stale highlighting when syntactic constructs span multiple lines by setting syn sync linebreaks to 1.
• Added a distinct syntax group for prelude structs instead of including them in rustTrait.
• Added highlighting for ? in ?Sized.
• Reduced false positives in highlighting of assert and panic macros (assertiveness!(), paniculate!()).
• Removed obsolete syntax.
