My install of Vim6, I believe, has a bunch of plugins in
/usr/local/share/vim/vim60v/ftplugin, including a C language plugin.
This is automatically loaded when editing a file with a .c extension if
you have this line in your .vimrc:
filetype plugin indent on
It does 'smart' indenting and syntax highlighting. See also the
'cindent' option in the Vim manual.
I've attached some sample C code I entered. I did not hit the tab key
once! (The only 'flaw' was that it did not unindent after the 'break' in
the 'switch', but otherwise, it looks pretty good. You can customize
your indentation preferences, too.)
int
main(argc, argv)
int argc;
char *argv[];
{
register int baselen, len, rval;
register char *p, endp;
struct stat sb;
int ch;
char path[MAXPATHLEN];
while ((ch = getopt(argc, argv, "fiv")) != -1)
switch (ch) {
case 'i':
iflg = 1;
fflg = 0;
break;
case 'f':
fflg = 1;
iflg = 0;
break;
case 'v':
vflg = 1;
break;
default:
usage();
}
argc -= optind;
argv += optind;
if (argc < 2)
usage();
/*
* If the stat on the target fails or the target isn't a directory,
* try the move. More than 2 arguments is an error in this case.
*/
if (stat(argv[argc - 1], &sc) || !S_ISDIR(sb.st_mode)) {
if (argc > 2)
usage();
exit(do_move(argv[0], argv[1]));
}
/* etc, etc... */
}
