bug: source code is dimmed incorrectly in header files

cskilbeck

When #defines are created using the project settings rather than in the source code, the syntax highlighter incorrectly dims sections between #ifdef / #endif blocks in header files.

For example, if I define DEBUG in the project settings and then have this in a header file:

// header.h
#ifdef DEBUG
void do_debug_thing();  // this line dimmed incorrectly
#endif

Does this make sense? I'm using the latest Keil V5 as of 18th January 2023.

Thanks,
Charlie.

    If the symbol is defined in the project settings then it works. To see the problem, use the Misc Controls section to include a header file automatically and then define symbols in that header file.

    For example, create a file called header.h

    #pragma once

    #define TESTING

    Then, in Misc Controls, add -include "header.h"

    Then, in a C source file, try this

    #if !defined(TESTING)

    int test;  // This line will be dimmed when it shouldn't be

    #endif
