1-*- llvm/utils/vim/README -*- 2 3These are syntax highlighting files for the VIM editor. Included are: 4 5* llvm.vim 6 7 Syntax highlighting mode for LLVM assembly files. To use, copy `llvm.vim' to 8 ~/.vim/syntax and add this code to your ~/.vimrc : 9 10 augroup filetype 11 au! BufRead,BufNewFile *.ll set filetype=llvm 12 augroup END 13 14* tablegen.vim 15 16 Syntax highlighting mode for TableGen description files. To use, copy 17 `tablegen.vim' to ~/.vim/syntax and add this code to your ~/.vimrc : 18 19 augroup filetype 20 au! BufRead,BufNewFile *.td set filetype=tablegen 21 augroup END 22 23 24If you prefer, instead of making copies you can make symlinks from 25~/.vim/syntax/... to the syntax files in your LLVM source tree. Apparently 26this did not work with older versions of vim however, so if this doesn't 27work you may need to make actual copies of the files. 28 29Another option, if you do not already have a ~/.vim/syntax directory, is 30to symlink ~/.vim/syntax itself to llvm/utils/vim . 31 32Note: If you notice missing or incorrect syntax highlighting, please contact 33<llvmbugs [at] cs.uiuc.edu>; if you wish to provide a patch to improve the 34functionality, it will be most appreciated. Thank you. 35 36If you find yourself working with LLVM Makefiles often, but you don't get syntax 37highlighting (because the files have names such as Makefile.rules or 38TEST.nightly.Makefile), add the following to your ~/.vimrc: 39 40 " LLVM Makefile highlighting mode 41 augroup filetype 42 au! BufRead,BufNewFile *Makefile* set filetype=make 43 augroup END 44
