texts in a cpp file are highlighted as comments while they are not comments

[Henrik Lin]

As show in the picture, my texts are highlighted as comments

The OS is windows, vim version 8.2

 

Note: I also checked the texts are not within /**/

anything wrong with vim setting / encoding ?

It looks like you have `:set hls` enabled and pressed '*' on the text
`*` in the file.

See if the highlighting goes away with `:set nohls`

Best,

Obviously that text is not C++ code, so it must be either comments but
if it's not within /**/ then maybe it's a block surrounded by

#if 0
...
#endif

Such block is displayed in comment highlighting as well because it is
not active code.

Or the file abuses the .cpp file extension and highlighting is confused.
