alignas keyword in the CDT editor [message #953914]

Hi, I am running Juno with CDT 8.1.1.

I am using clang as the compiler on OSX, and have code that requires the alignas keyword. Unfortunately, I can't edit this code with the CDT editor because this unrecognized Cx11 keyword messes up folding.

Is there any update to support the alignas keyword, or does anyone know if it is possible to tell the editor to ignore "alignas(xxx)" somehow?

Thanks,

Rennie

No ideas? or comments.

It seems like the editor not handling a keyword from the internationally standardized version of the C++ language, just might be a significant problem for a C++ editor Wink

I would be comforted by an acknowledgement something like "Yeah, we know about this, it is on the backlog".

Right now, I have resorted to editing files containing the alignas keyword with the standard text editor (I am reduced to 1980's editing - I know, what a crybaby Smile

Hi to all, I know that this topic is quite old, but I wanted to signal that I am still encountering this problem in June 2014.
I am using Eclipse Luna with CDT 8.4.0, the compiler is Cygwin GCC 4.8.3 (on Windows 7).

Is this caused by an Eclipse setting I didn't get right, or is it an IDE bug which has to be fixed?

By the way, all other C++11 features I use don't create any problems.

Thank you,
Fabio
