Disassembly view: syntax highlighting

Trass3r opened this issue · 2 comments

Syntax highlighting would immensely help when stepping through the code.

Ideally existing wonderful LSP extensions like ASM Code Lens could be reused to get proper assembly syntax highlighting as well as other features.

In general I'm curious why this view wasn't done as a special read-only editor.

"Syntax highlighting" should consider vscode code as language neutral. Developing an extensibility for each language to add their own syntax is possible.

If a normal text editor was used syntax highlighting could be handled by existing extensions.
Though I'm not sure how it could work out when source code and disassembly are mixed (#132541).
