Dec 1, 2025December 2025 - macvim-dev/macvim: Delivered a targeted Makefile syntax highlighting fix to prevent overflow in greedy target matching. The change reorders make target matches to take priority over region matching, addressing edge cases such as $(a) =, $(a) ::, and $(a) +=. This fixes issues reported as #18890 and closes #18938, reducing incorrect highlighting and potential parsing stalls. The fix was implemented in a single commit (aded55463a150bc9c77852f8e2c931535bedad3e) with Signed-off-by lines by Yiyang Wu and Christian Brabandt. Impact spans improved correctness, reliability, and user experience in complex Makefiles.

Completed two coordinated commits to refine Makefile highlighting: (1) enhance MakeDefine block highlighting to better distinguish comments and targets from the define keyword, and (2) fix incorrect matching of extra lines as targets by ensuring 'keepend' is respected, addressing a regression and improving reliability for complex Makefiles used in data-processing pipelines.
