Environment

  • OS and Version: Windows 11 24H2
  • VS Code Version: 1.95.3
  • C/C++ Extension Version: v1.22.11

Bug Summary and Steps to Reproduce

Bug Summary:
The closing parenthesis for a type cast to any pointer type gets the wrong color.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open the provided sample C source in VS Code;
  2. Notice the wrong parenthesis colors in lines 7 and 8.

Expected behavior:
The color of a closing parenthesis should be the same as the color of its matching opening parenthesis.

Additional context

Sample C source:

int main(void) {
    char a = 42;
    int b, c, *p1, *p2;

    // The color of the first closing parenthesis in the following 2 lines
    // differs from the color of their matching opening parenthesis (wrong).
    p1 = (int *)(&a);
    p2 = (int *)&a;

    // The color of the first closing parenthesis in the following 2 lines
    // matches the color of their matching opening parenthesis (correct).
    b = (int)(a);
    c = (int)a;

    return 0;

@oncipriani Can you provide a screenshot? Can you check if the issue still repros with our C/C++ extension disabled? I am not reproing the issue for some reason.

Helo, @sean-mcmanus.

I tested with the C++ extension disabled and the issue still occurs. I guess it is not a problem with the extension, then. 😅

Here is a screenshot of the sample C source code in VS Code with the C++ extension enabled:

And here it is with the C++ extension disabled:

While I was taking the screenshots I found out what was causing the problem: font ligatures. Disabling font ligatures fixes the problem.

For reference, here is my entire settings.json:

{
    "editor.acceptSuggestionOnEnter": "off",
    "editor.fontFamily": "'Cascadia Code', Consolas, 'Courier New', monospace",
    "editor.fontLigatures": true,

        },
        {
            "color": "#ff000050",
            "column": 160
        }

Hey @sean-mcmanus, this issue might need further attention.

@oncipriani, you can help us out by closing this issue if the problem no longer exists, or adding more information.

I'm closing this issue because I believe it is a problem with font ligatures, not with the C/C++ Extension.
