Syntax highlighter for pasm in Sublime Text 3

[Justin Pearson]

I'm programming the BBB's PRU in pasm. Does anyone know how I can get Sublime Text to color the code (syntax highlight)?

I cross-posted here:

Thanks.

Hi!

I don't know SublimeText and can't help on topic. But in addition to the TI configurations, I can provide pasm highlighting for Geany IDE, if you're interested.

You can write your own syntax highlighter for Sublime Text3. I say this, because I've never seen any assembly language highlighting for Sublime text period. And yes, I do use Sublime text myself( for the last 4-5 years ). You might try using C highlighting, to see if the standard C highlighting also highlights inline assembly. But that's doubtful.

I was looking a while back for something similar, and the only thing I found was someone on parallax's forum's talking about having writen a syntax highlighter for Visual Studio Code( not to be confused with the Visual studio IDE ) and the p2asm language. Maybe It's possible to adapt that, or in a pinch just use it in code. I've been using VSC myself recently a lot for javascript, C, and C++. It's not a bad text editor at all.

Thanks William & TJF. Following your advice I wrote my own syntax
highlighting file for pasm (for Sublime Text 3):

TJF, would you post your pasm highlighter for Geany?

Thanks,

Justin

Awesome ! 

BTW, I tried to add a link to this pasm syntax highlighter to the official TI pasm wiki page:

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/PASM_Syntax_Highlighting

... but I got an "Access Denied" error.

Thanks TJF. Geany does syntax-highlighting a lot more simply than Sublime Text. In ST you don't pick the colors for keywords; instead, you use regexps to assign semantic meaning to certain strings, like a string matching "\b[0-9]+\b" (a number) is assigned type "constant.numeric" whereas a string matching "\b[rR]\d\d?\b" (a register) is assigned type "storage". Depending on the ST "theme" you're using, those types get colored differently. 

What a complicated world!

This file does more than highlighting definitions. Ie. you can configure compiler commands or set some default custom commands for the specified file type.

For color declaration there's a similar system in Geany. You can define named colors in the file filetypes.common and then use those names instead of a fixed setting (I'm not sure why I used the fixed setting here).

One reason why I use Geany is that it scrolls much faster than editors based on regex lexers.
