bug#715: qt-special labels not syntactically recognized?

[dejfson]

Hi Alan,
thanks for response. In fact, I made a mistake myself for the problem
of recognition of 'protected slots:' like stuff. The mistake I did is
that I did not notice, that the current emacs mode is pure C instead
of C++ mode. This
came from my setting, after correction it is fine. However there is
still one remaining problem,this is a Q_OBJECT macro, which tells to
qmake of QT that this class derives QObject properties and metacall
system.
So if you have class like this one:

class QMyclass
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
  QMyclass (int a, int b, int c);
  ~QMyclass (void);
protected slots:
  int mystuff (int a);
}

if we look on syntaxe (in C++ mode by issuing C-c C-s), for the
Q_OBJECT line one would expect to get something like
((inclass XXX) (topmost-intro XXX) (cpp-macro)) or something like that
(to my mind Q_OBJECT is a pseudocode which gets translated by uic of
QT - i'm not 100% sure). This is of course discutable, however
Q_OBJECT
is not the only declaration which can be there (another one which
spots in my mind: Q_PROPERTY).

If you check syntax of this 'public:' line, instead of ( (inclass XXX)
(access-label YYYY) ) as you would expect you get (
(topmost-intro-cont XXXX) ). However this is clearly nothing else than
declaration
of access


thanks

d.
