[cdt-dev] Support for Altivec Vector types in the CDT parser?

[George Russell <george@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Is anyone aware of support for altivec vector types in the C++ and GNU 
C++ CDT parsers? e.g.  vector float a;

I have filed an enhancement request as (bug 299109) as I couldn't see 
any sign of support for this in the code or in use, and it makes the 
editing environment rather busy with syntax error notices. At the 
moment, these can be somewhat hackily suppressed by #defining away 
vector, but that is not really a general solution.

Is there a good solution to this? I thought of naively adding a new 
keyword (well, several as required) but that would still probably break 
use of std::vector or C99 _Bool etc.

Cheers,
George
