Syntax tree entry (char) is not resolved

[Darkness2k19]

char is not highlighted as if it was not parsed as a valid token const std::string sc(1, 'a'); static_assert(!std::is_assignable_v<decltype(*sc.data()), char>);

Logs Initialization clangd.log

Clangd does not apply semantic highlighting to keyword tokens in general, leaving that to client-side highlighting.

Is the apperance of char any different in this static_assert than on the line:

char c;

?

[Darkness2k19]

Yes, it differs

I supposed there was something with c++ version that is used to parse tokens and to highlight them because, if I change is_assignable_v to is_assignable or even just add a trailing ::, the char becomes properly highlighted but in that case clangd would not find the is_assignable_v itself so I thought it might be either a clangd extension bug or a problem of vscode itself

[HighCommander4]

It's an issue of vscode's client-side highlighting, please file it at https://github.com/jeff-hykin/better-cpp-syntax.

You can also consider using Minimal C++ Syntax as an alternative client-side highlighting engine to VSCode's default, it does not have this problem.
