Re: Vim source code

The question originates from my wish to have automatic user defined
types syntax highlighting. So that if I have for example a syntax match group

UDT for classes and have this in the buffer

1   class mytype {
2   //...
3   };
4

5   mytype a;

6   mytype b;

"mytype" is highlighted on lines 5 and 6 besides 1.

To my knowledge this is not possible in vim unless the source code is modified.

So the information I was searching was at source code level to complete
implementing this feature.
