Syntax highlighting library written in C/C++ [closed]

Question

I am looking for a free (for commercial use) library for syntax coloring written in c/c++. Are there any out there?

Answer 1

I am not sure if you are looking for something to color an existing control or a control with text coloring built in. If you are looking for the later you could check out Scintilla.

Scintilla is a free source code editing component. It comes with complete source code and a license that permits use in any free project or commercial product.

Answer 2

GtkSourceView is a nice library for syntax highlighting and source code editing. It's used in several Gnome editors like gedit and Anjuta and is in active development; it also has a very permissive LGPL license which permits its use in commercial products.

There is also a C++ wrapper called gtksourceviewmm.
