Token Helight Color Not Working Fine!

[EinOnly]

Type: Bug

I use the same settings in my windows laptop and mac. But vsccode in mac always show me the different syntax helight from windows. Windows version is exactily what I need and is correct helight. Bty, I find that inspect Editor tokens and scopes is different in macos vscode from windows.

                }
            }
        ]
    },

I try all :

 {
                "scope": "entity.name.function.preprocessor",
                "settings": {
                    "foreground": "#b74fe0"
                }
            },
            {
                "scope": "entity.name.function.macros",
                "settings": {
                    "foreground": "#b74fe0"
                }
            },
{
                "scope": "entity.name.function",
                "settings": {
                    "foreground": "#dbd40c"
                }
            },

Macros and functions show the same color and Scape in mac. And variables never be helighted.

Can you also add a small code sample, and screenshots?

You say Editor tokens and scopes is different. How so? Can you take screenshots of the two?

[EinOnly]

It seems that some settings might be causing this outcome, and I've ruled out plugins. I've encountered similar results using the same project on Windows as well. This project can compile successfully.

[EinOnly]

Need more information?

[aeschli]

So what is wrong? All three screenshots show a function call and all of them are rendered with the same color as I would expect.

[EinOnly]

"vkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties(nullptr, &properties_count, nullptr)" is a function and it is rendered right. But the "VK_MAKE_VERSION(1, 0, 0)" is a macro which should be rendered as a "entity.name.function.preprocessor" instead of function call. And all the macros are rendered wrong.

[aeschli]

Syntax highlighting is only based on the structure of the program. It can't look up symbols and doesn't know that VK_MAKE_VERSION is macro.

To resolve symbols (possibly across files) a language server is needed. It will add 'semantic highlighting' on top of the syntax highlighting. Looking at your screenshots, there's no semantic highlighting active here.

• make sure you have a C++ language extension installed
• make sure it is properly configured, e.g. knows the project setup
• make sure semantic highlighting is not disabled. Note: Not all themes support that. Best to use the default themes for testing.

If that's all properly configured, you will see a semantic token section showing up in the Inspect editor scopes.. hover
