This directory serves as a simple Vim addon for GCC development. It can be symlinked or copied into Vim plugin directory as any other plugin. For example, if using vim-pathogen plugin manager: ln -s /path/to/gcc/contrib/vim-gcc-dev ~/.vim/bundle/ This adds syntax highlighting rules for the match.pd file and GIMPLE/RTL dumps. You can also use RTL syntax rules for GCC machine desciption files by adding autocmd BufRead *.md setf gcc-rtl to your ~/.vimrc file.
