any news on it? I have the same issue of #250

Related bug: atom/language-gfm#214

I feel the proper solution is two-part:

1. The C and C++ TextMate grammars need to be fully split so neither depends on the other.
2. The grammar should be modified such that $base is converted to an actual rule that dispatches to everything, like most other languages' grammars.

Is this sufficient to unblock the bug?

I would imagine though that Atom would be using Tree-sitter parser instead of TextMate.

If you want to use a TextMate grammar, jeff-hykin/cpp-textmate-grammar fixes the embedding issue. It's based on atom/language-c, but its already separated the C and C++ languages and removed the use of $base. It's also used as the VS Code C++ TextMate Grammar.

And, yes @isiahmeadows those two changes fix the embedding bug.
