Hi Expert, 

syntax coloring is not functional when the code is long. Is this IDE restriction? How to fix this issue?

for example, the hal_uart.c is not coloring.

Thanks

Peter

Somewhere in preferences is the line number limit, you can set to any size, to get it analyzed/colored .

Maybe you got a message from eclipse IDE, on opening the file, about the file > limit...but you didnt change the limit. I cant tell you, where it is - :) - , i just dont remember...sooo many options.

ed

Ok, found a limit, i set to 8MB :  menu -> window -> Preferences

I just looked: hal_uart.c is only 160KB , so this some MB limit is not the reason for your coloring-or-not .

(from your pic)

AND there is a coloring, red, grey, light-grey, so its about your adjustment of syntax colors , editors, etc. ,

you can modify .

There is a lot, you can adjust, in Eclipse !

btw

Look, what you have set/preset here ->

Hi, 

i found the problem. We are developing a dual-core project. You have to choose the file under project folder, although it is linked from a common Drivers directory.
