Tip: #941 - Adding MPI and PVM syntax highlighting

Created: June 2, 2005 17:03 Complexity: basic Author: Dave Turner Version: 6.0 Karma: 7/6 Imported from: Tip#941

The MPI standard and the PVM library are commonly used to parallelize codes to run them across multiprocessor systems. The lines below can be added to the c.vim syntax file to highlight all MPI and PVM function calls, as well as the MPI data types. The Fortran syntax is the same except that PVM uses the pvmf prefix instead of pvm_. You will also need to add a line to your favorite colorization file to highlight the new Communicator group. I use a Yellow background which shows up well on both light and dark backgrounds to really illustrate where the communications calls are in a program. If the powers that be ever wish to include these capabilities in the official VIM release, I'd be happy to add OpenMP functions as well.

syn match cCommunicator "MPI_[A-Z][A-Z_a-z2 ]*("me=e-1 
syn match cCommunicator "MPIO_[A-Z][A-Z_a-z ]*("me=e-1 
syn match cCommunicator "pvm_[a-z ]*("me=e-1 
syn match cCommunicator "MP_[A-Z_a-z ]*("me=e-1 

syn keyword cType MPI_Group MPI_Status MPI_Request MPI_Win MPI_Aint 
syn keyword cType MPI_Info MPI_Op MPI_Datatype MPI_Comm 

HiLink cCommunicator Communicator 

Example addition to the colorization file for dark backgrounds:

hi Communicator guibg=yellow2 guifg=black gui=bold ctermbg=yellow ctermfg=black 

Example addition to the colorization file for light backgrounds:

 hi Communicator guibg=yellow2 guifg=white gui=bold ctermbg=yellow ctermfg=white 

Comments

I put first part in syntax/fortran.vim but I am not sure about where to put the second part (guibg...)

Can you explain please ?
