Additional Vim syntax highlighting for C++ (including C++11/14)

vim.cpp - additional vim c++ syntax highlighting

This file contains additional syntax highlighting that I use for my C++11/14 development in Vim. Compared to the standard syntax highlighting for C++ it adds highlighting of (user defined) functions and the containers and types in the standard library / boost.

Development is done at: http://github.com/octol/vim-cpp-enhanced-highlight

Installation instructions

Follow one of the sets of directions below and reload vim afterwards.

Via git + copy and paste

If you don't have either Vundle or Pathogen installed, you may copy and paste the cpp.vim file into your .vim/after/syntax folder. The following shell commands will help you do so.

cd ~/.vim
git clone https://github.com/octol/vim-cpp-enhanced-highlight.git
mkdir -p after/syntax/
mv vim-cpp-enhanced-highlight/after/syntax/cpp.vim after/syntax/cpp.vim
rm -rf vim-cpp-enhanced-highlight

Via Vundle

If you have vundle installed, you can install the plugin by adding

Bundle 'octol/vim-cpp-enhanced-highlight'

to your .vimrc and running :BundleInstall from vim.

Via git submodule + Pathogen

If you have pathogen installed, and you prefer to use git submodules, the following bash commands will help you do so.

cd ~/.vim
git submodule add https://github.com/octol/vim-cpp-enhanced-highlight.git bundle/syntax/
