I'm sure that language injection for C used to work. Am I missing something? Do I need to add a particular IntelliJ plugin? I'm using IntelliJ IDEA 2023.3.

it doesn't work in K/N .def files either, but it used to...

I made an issue https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-340361/Language-injection-for-C-is-not-available

I'm not at all familiar with this, but according to https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/using-language-injections.html you would need the IntelliLang plugin enabled.

Make sure that the IntelliLang plugin is enabled before you start working with language injections.

(It might be enabled by default, but I don't have IntelliJ available in front of me right now to check.)

I think I noticed the same with Regex("...") not being highlighted for Kotlin a couple weeks ago, but didn't think much of it. Maybe it's a broader issue with language injection. Or maybe I have to make sure the IntelliLang plug-in is actually installed 🤷‍♂️

[Adam S]

Ah maybe there's a problem with IntelliLang https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/13374-intellilang - it says "Not compatible with the version of your running IDE (IntelliJ IDEA 2023.3)"

they also removed some plugins that were pre-bundled before, e.g. Android, this might be similar (still available, but you have to install it manually after upgrade)

(Note: since Android has NDK support, maybe it also contained C support?)
