Bug: CDT doesn't scan included files for variable definitions [message #1702015]

As I have reported in the following thread, CDT doesn't know about variables that are defined in included files:
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=1068310&goto=1701272&#msg_1701272

Unfortunately those variables are marked as errors in the editor, and code completion is impossible.

Is there any chance that this bug will be fixed? Although the thread above has been viewed more than 1500 times, there seems to be no interest or understanding of the problem.

Is a workaround possible? I could imagine something like

#ifdef PARSEDBYCDT
Something something; //dummy defines to make variables known to CDT
#endif

Is there any #define that will be set by the CDT parser, so that I could add such a block which is only visible to CDT, not to the compiler?

Thank you
Peter
