            Bug ID: 310076
          Severity: normal
           Version: 4.4.1
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: kdevelop-bugs@kdevelop.org
           Summary: C++ Parser does not handle gcc __attribute annotations
                    in class declarations
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: the_docter@gmx.net
          Hardware: Compiled Sources
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: cpp-parser
           Product: kdevelop

I have a large code base of a library that uses __attribute((visibility
("default"))) to export the classes that should be part of the interface.
KDevelop cannot handle these attributes which leads to errors in the code
completion.

Though this is a compiler specific problem (MSVC uses annotations like
__declspec(dllexport)) and thus not valid c++, this severely impedes the user
experience.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
The code below is a typical example of a class declaration we use:

class __attribute((visibility ("default"))) Foo
{
    Foo* child;
};
Actual Results:  
The code completion/parser/... cannot resolve Foo in the declaration of child
as a known class.

Expected Results:  
Foo should be properly resolved, as is the case when removing the
__attribute(...)

Due to the compiler specificness of the problem the __attribute(...) is usually
wrapped in a macro. This macro evaluates to the needed annotation. KDevelop
seems to parse the macro just fine though.
