Intel disassembly syntax: proper/customize highlighting

[blueglyph]

By default, the disassembly has a non-standard syntax where the operands are inverted.

It is possible to use this init option to get back to the Intel syntax, but the highlighting of registers is lost:

settings set target.x86-disassembly-flavor intel

Is it possible to customize the regex or the filter that identifies register tokens?

In the discussion pointed above, someone mentions the disassembly.json file in %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions\vadimcn.vscode-lldb-1.8.1\syntaxes\disassembly.json (or Linux equivalent ~/...), but changing this file will not outlive any update, it's not a proper way to customize the highlighting.

It's not non-standard. It's just AT&T syntax, which is pretty standard and well-known.

Indeed, I think I've seen this before, probably in gcc's inline assembly.

If I understand correctly (but it's Wikipedia, so to take with a grain of salt), it's a general representation for multiple CPU assembly codes, whereas Intel is the syntax used by the constructor - which one can indeed see in their specification documents. I think the default should be this official version, but I suppose that it's down to tastes and colours. 😉 In that sense, it's non-standard for me.

Thanks for the information! That doesn't solve my problem though.
