is syntax coloring not functional for long file?

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

Hi,

if i open hal_uart.c ->

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.
