Feature Request - Highlighting call instruction with call address/instruction

[vivonk]

As of now, when I write

UNPCK: ; my code goes here
CALL UNPCK

then UNPCK is not highlighted. If it will be highlighted then it will look like a high-level languages preference. If we can make something like this then it would be nice.
I can help to implement also 😊

Can you please confirm where exactly do you see the problem with highlighting? UNPCK: should already be highlighted.

My mean to say is when I JMP to somewhere then if it can verify that it's a valid JUMP so that compilation error will become less.

The syntax highlighting in gtksourceview (used by this application) just highlights the words based on character patterns.
There is no way to highlight an incorrect JMP or CALL because the editor does not know that it is invalid.

@vivonk Do you have any suggestions on how this can be implemented? Do you have a patch for this?

[vivonk]

I would like to implement this feature if you could guide me through the codebase a little bit :)
