You'll have to fork it and turn on case-insensetive matching on specific groups of grammar that you want to be matched.
This is fixed for ST3, and will be fixed for ST2/VSCode/Atom in the v3 update that will happen soon™. Sorry about that, I only noticed when was looking at nasm source code.
Sorry - I just installed the plugin and I am not getting the right syntax from MOV EAX using Packages/x86 and x86_64 Assembly/x86_64 Assembly.tmbundle/Syntaxes/x86_64 Assembly.tmLanguage.
However, I do get it right when using Packages/x86 and x86_64 Assembly/x86_64 Assembly.tmbundle/Syntaxes/Nasm Assembly.sublime-syntax
Is there any specific difference between them or can I safely use the Nasm version for Masm code?
.sublime-syntax
was a complete rewrite from scratch, following close to NASM specification.
Of course you can use it for other assemblers as well, but some specifics won't be highlighted (such as section conventions, macros, etc)
Old .tmLanguage
version wasn't updated for a long time (except for adding newer instructions). There's a plan to update it to be much closer to the new .sublime-syntax
, but there are no tools to convert the grammar, and the capabilities for highlighter are much more limited, so it all boils down to manual re-writing from scratch as well, and it takes a long time, and a lot of effort to do.
Thanks. I did a test and found it fairly OK for MASM but I am having highlighting issues with disassembly code such as:
015F:004045D3 B801000000 MOV EAX,00000001
CODE:004F5EDA 131C E8 15 E8 F0 FF call sub_4046F4
00E0AD76 | 84 C0 | test al,al
The addresses are not detected and are displayed in horrible colours.....
That is by design, as it's not part of the assembly and is breaking the NASM-specific syntax highlighter. For general assembly tokenization, old highlighter would suit better as it doesn't even try to follow any specific syntax. It was long overdue for updates and fixes I did for nasm rewrite, but unfortunately I don't have much free time right now, and what I have I spend on other projects.
I see. Thanks for your comments!
I would like to be able to have uppercase instructions such as
CMP
and not onlycmp
. Is there a simple way to extend this definition to have this?
