I have already spoke to someone in the support team about this, but I'll put a request in here.
If I want to declare a variable and have it quad-word aligned: int myVariable __attribute__((aligned(16)));
myVariable will _not_ be colour coded correctly - it just stays black. Clicking on a later instance of the variable, or hovering the cursor over later instances of it reveals no extra information.
The support person I had contact with said the reason for this is the parenthesis in the declaration. I have to use commands like this constantly through out my code and it would be extremely useful if they would act the same as any other declared variable.
Another example of a line that wouldn't work correctly is: int *piMyPointer __attribute__((section(".vudata")));
I hope you are able to somehow include support for this in a future release, thank you,
With build 1246, we get correct coloring of myVariable in references, ie after the definition. We see myVariable colored as a method in the definition itself -- the parenthesis being the culprit of this problem.
