A Vim plugin providing enhanced C++ syntax highlighting, including support for C++11/14/17 features, standard library containers, boost types, and user-defined functions. It offers optional highlighting for class scopes, member variables, class declarations, POSIX functions, templates, and library concepts.

Use cases

• improve C++ syntax highlighting in vim
• highlight C++11/14/17 features in vim
• highlight standard library containers and boost types in vim
• highlight class names and member variables in vim
• highlight C++ template functions in vim
• highlight C++ concepts and requires keywords in vim

When to choose

• you write modern C++ (C++11/14/17) in Vim and want richer highlighting than the default
• you want highlighting of user-defined functions, class scopes, member variables, or standard library types
• you use Vim with a plugin manager like Vundle or Pathogen

When to avoid

• you use an editor other than Vim
• you need perfect template highlighting on very large files (the simple option can be slow and has corner cases)
• you want an IDE-grade semantic highlighting experience
