Hi, I love to use kdevelop to examine source code of open source projects. They are mostly written in C.
They are sometimes using variables called "new". It is legal in C as "new" is not keyword or reserved word (AFAIK), but it confuses kdevelop's parser and so the navigation and code completion is not so useful in them.

I would never use a variable called "new" in my project, however it is quite often used in already existing ones. Is it possible to parse "new" as normal name when in C source?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Use variable called "new" in C source.



It can be partly workarounded by adding this line on the top of source:
#define new new_

there is no support for plain C yet

That bug is related to the Kate highlighting, it's not about C being supported, I think it should be re-assigned to Kate.

No, the basic C highlighting is working correctly (the "new" word is not bold). I was just complaining about the kdevelop parser.

I didn't know that plain C is not supported.

Ok, sorry. I withdraw my comment then :).

Moving all the bugs from the CPP Parser. It was not well defined the difference between it and C++ Language Support and people kept reporting in both places indistinctively
