[patch] Automatically generate syntax/vim.vim

[h_east]

Hi Bram, Dr.Chip and List!

> Notice:
> I will send syntax/vim.vim generator made by Vim script in a few weeks.
> Above contents found by its script.

It is this.

I wrote a syntax/vim.vim generator.

It was embedded in src/Makefile and called src/gen_syntax_vim/Makefile.
Generator works after generating a binary of vim on src/Makefile.

Contents of src/gen_syntax_vim
Makefile .............. makefile.
eval_check.vim ... Script for checking '+eval'.
gen_syntax_vim.vim ... Generator body script.
update_date.vim ... Date string update script.
vim.vim.base ... syntax/vim.vim base file. (This file based on Dr.Chip's vim syntax file vim.vim 7.4-36)

Process flow:
1. run gen_syntax_vim.vim. Create rc(Release Candidate) file. (src/gen_syntax_vim/vim.vim.rc)
2. If error, never update runtime/syntax/vim.vim.
3. Get diff runtime/syntax/vim.vim and src/gen_syntax_vim/vim.vim.rc without date string.
4. If differ, Date update and update runtime/syntax/vim.vim.

Note:
- Generator parse from vim's C source code.
option: ../option.c
command: ../ex_cmds.h
event: ../fileio.c
built-in function: ../eval.c
syntax highlight group: ../syntax.c
- Never update when vim is not have '+eval'
- Never update when error in gen_syntax_vim.vim script.
- Neovim already generate syntax/vim.vim automatically.

If is the following display by make, Please check and commit runtime/syntax/vim.vim.

make[1]: Entering directory '/home/h_east/vim/vim/src/gen_syntax_vim'
Update ../../runtime/syntax/vim.vim
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/h_east/vim/vim/src/gen_syntax_vim'

Dr.Chip>
I want to ask the src/gen_syntax_vim/vim.vim.base of the maintainer, If it is possible.
Generator adds only after "GEN_SYN_VIM:" keywords.
Please check this file.

Sorry for crazy English.
I want to automate as much as possible strongly.

Thanks.

I know Charles already uses a script to update vim.vim.
I'll leave it up to hime whether he would like to use this instead.

Hi,

Of course I know it.
"mkvimvim" has been written in the comments of syntax/vim.vim.
Probably, this script's source code seems to has not been published.
So that, I wrote a new generator and publish the source code.
I think, anyone will be able to maintain it.

Hi Vim script developers,

This is a syntax/vim.vim that corresponding to the latest Vim.
http://vim-jp.org/gen_syn_vim/

It has been created automatically from Vim C source code.
Only creating trigger is manual.

Let's try it!

Thanks.

We changed repository name and branch names.
And We have restructured the repository contents.

An excellent Vim's syntax highlighting file for Vim script.
