Add Vim Syntax Highlighting for SystemTap

The source directory includes vim scripts to enable syntax highlighting and auto-indenting for SystemTap scripts. This support may be added on a per-user basis or system-wide.

Single-user Installation

Installation steps:

• cd src/vim
  mkdir -p $HOME/.vim/indent $HOME/.vim/ftplugin $HOME/.vim/syntax
  cp -p filetype.vim $HOME/.vim/
  cp -p indent/stap.vim $HOME/.vim/indent/
  cp -p ftplugin/stap.vim $HOME/.vim/ftplugin/
  cp -p syntax/stap.vim $HOME/.vim/syntax/

That's it!

System-wide Installation

Installation steps:

• cd src/vim
  cp -p indent/stap.vim /usr/share/vim/vim<version>/indent/
  cp -p ftplugin/stap.vim /usr/share/vim/vim<version>/ftplugin/
  cp -p syntax/stap.vim /usr/share/vim/vim<version>/syntax/

Edit "/usr/share/vim/vim<version>/filetype.vim" and comment the following lines:

• " Stored Procedures
  "au BufNewFile,BufRead *.stp                   setf stp

And then add in the next couple of lines:

• " SystemTap scripts
  au BufNewFile,BufRead *.stp                     setf stap

Save "filetype.vim" and you are done!
