C/C++ issue on float suffix highlighting

[vser1]

Following cppreference.com, the suffixes for floats are f, F, l, L while in the following example, rouge 2.0.7 (tested on gitlab 8.14) highlights the suffixes l, L, u, U.

 	float test(8.874L);
 	float test(8.874l);
 	float test(8.874F);
 	float test(8.874f);
 	float test(8.874U);
 	float test(8.874u);

AFAICT this is a bug, isn't? From my analyses of the regexp, there might be other issues, notably with binary literals (C++14) — edit confirmed, or hexadecimal floats (C++17) — for some reason it's recognized.

I have another question: on my example, the dots aren't colorized, is this on purpose (the types not supporting colorized dots) or because the first number (the 8 before the dot) is recognized as an int literal and the second half too but not the dot in between?

Sorry, this shouldn't have been marked as stale given the outstanding PR. Will be getting to that one as we work through the backlog. There's quite a bit there but we are making progress!

Bumping this as 6 years after the last post, with Rouge 4.5.1, this issue is still present:

Apparently the suffix is interpreted as a "name":

<span class="mf">100.0</span>
<span class="n">f</span>
