variables not being tokenized

[tat3r]

Variables are not being tokenized in global or local scope. This is an issue with C syntax but possibly exists in C++ as well.

Sadly I think this is similar to #39.

Textmate markup isn't smart enough to know when a name is a variable.

It could be possible to tag it on declarations though, but it would only work for primitives. Is the issue for the declaration or for all instances of variables?

[tat3r]

all instances, however with foo.bar or foo->bar, bar gets picked up, but foo is still missing.

[jeff-hykin]

`foo.bar` should be picked up.

Sadly, tagging all instances is impossible without a powerful C/C++ specific parser. Its way outside the ability of TextMate grammars.

For example:

#ifdef thing
    int x = 10;
#else 
    class x { };
#endif 

Its basically impossible to know what x is without emulating the entire C/C++ preprocessor

struct f foo Could mark f as type like C++ does.
additionally for both C and C++ enum f foo should mark f as a type.

C++	C

Lets create a new issue for that.
