I don't think clang is an implementation detail. Surely the custom syntax highlighting engine is a vim feature. It's the "using clang" that makes this interesting.
- Jeaye 12y agoThe point is that this project is impossible without embedding an compiler. Vim's syntax capabilities alone are based on matching; they don't actually compile the code. The benefit provided by color_coded is that the highlighting is based on how your code looks to the compiler, not to a (very clever) regex machine. Given that, the fact that I chose libclang doesn't change the functionality of the project.
