Highlighter treats "close" as a Go keyword whereas it is not about language-go HOT 12 CLOSED

It seems like a built-in function to me: http://golang.org/pkg/builtin/#close

from language-go.

Oh totally forgot about that! I was fooled by the fact that you can create a variable named close and it is perfectly ok!

Closing this, as expecting the syntax highlighter to differentiate between a built-in function vs a variable with the name of a built in function is asking a bit too much!

from language-go.

I don't think it is asking too much to expect that to be differentiated. In one, there is no ( as a suffix; in the other there is a (. Grammars are driven by regular expressions, and this distinction can be made.

from language-go.

I didn't inspect the code and I don't know how advanced it is but below is also another consideration if then:

var (
  fn = func() { close(...) }
)

from language-go.

I would suggest reopening this issue.

Ok re-opening this and leaving it up to the project owners to decide.

This should be fixed by my latest commit in pull request #34, if it is merged.
It also marks these builtin functions' args as data types (just like what Emacs does)!

from language-go.

Yup... Looks as solved to me as well...

from language-go.

Didn't solve my specific case (see below) but still a good improvement.

Check... Personally I do wonder if this is actually something that you would want. Syntactically your right, but if it will improve readability...?

Next to that it's of course a better practice to _not_ make shadow variables over built-in names/types/functions

from language-go.

Ok gave this a second thought and a fix for this would actually decrease the readability. Otherwise it would be necessary to use a 3rd color to indicate shadowed variables to be spot on with what's going on.

Leaving it up to maintainers to close this as they like. I would consider this solved now.

This is fixed in PR #58 and released in v0.36.0
