11Note: If you notice missing or incorrect syntax highlighting, please contact
12<llvm-bugs [at] lists.llvm.org>; if you wish to provide a patch to improve the

15If you find yourself working with LLVM Makefiles often, but you don't get syntax
16highlighting (because the files have names such as Makefile.rules or
17TEST.nightly.Makefile), add the following to your ~/.vimrc:
18
19 " LLVM Makefile highlighting mode
20 augroup filetype
21 au! BufRead,BufNewFile *Makefile* set filetype=make
22 augroup END
