This is yet another syntax highlighter for lex/yacc and flex/bison.
This extension provides full syntax highlight for these languages and also for the embedded language C/C++.
This extension also supports some basic language features such as:
- Code diagnostic
- Auto-completion
- Go to Definition
- Go to Type Definition
- Find references
- Rename Symbol
- Hover
You can find more previews here previews.
Since 1.43.0 VSCode enabled a new feature called Semantic Highlighting, this extension supports it.
By default, only the built-in themes has semantic highlighting enabled, so if you are using a 3rd party theme that doesn't support the semantic coloring yet, you have to add these lines to your settings.json file to have the feature enabled.
"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
"[name of the theme]": {
"semanticHighlighting": true
}
}For extra information see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/wiki/Semantic-Highlighting-Overview.
Here is the comparison with and without semantic highlighting.
On left enabled, on right disabled
