Hello.

I want to be able to visually discriminate variables that are local to a function, and variables that are global, or defined at file level.

Is there currently a setting allowing to change the font color of those variables, or will we have to wait for a next release to see this feature ?

Thank you very much,

W.

This makes sense, I have put in a feature request for this, to see what our developers make of it:

case=67495

For now have you considered starting these variable names with "g_" or something similar, to mark them as global, and thus to be treated with care?

I am trying to show local variables in one colour, and file scope variables in a different colour, to understand which one can be changed outside of a given function, for example.

Unfortunately no, not currently. Are you trying to show local variables in one colour, and file scope variables in a different colour, to show that both are different to class member variables? Or are you after something else again?

I tried to enbale the "local symbols in bold" option, unfortunately it does not discriminate between function-scope variables and file-scope variable. Is there an other option to display those differently ?

Thank you !
I would have preferred being able to set a separate color for local symbols, but bold will do in the first place.

VA's local symbols in bold is designed to help here:
