"const override" is not correctly highlighted

[adl]

Thank you for this package.

Using c++-mode and modern-c++-font-lock-mode the following code

struct b : public a
{
  void foo() override;
  void foo() const override;
};

is font-locked as

as if the second override was not detected as a keyword.

Would that be easy to fix?

Hello @adl

Thank you for your feedback.

I am not able to reproduce your issue. Here is what I get on my side:

On the left, it is my personal emacs running c++-mode and modern-c++-font-lock-mode. On the right it is emacs -Q (it is a bare emacs with no configuration) with only c++-mode is loaded.

Finally the last one is emacs running text-mode (it puts away all syntax highlighting) and modern-c++-font-lock-mode.

From this, I understand that c++-mode and modern-c++-font-lock-mode both support const and override.

Can you tell me which version of emacs do you use? Also can you try to do like me (turning on and off major/minor modes) and show me what you see?

Hmm, interesting. For me loading modern-c++-font-lock-mode does make a difference.

M-x version says GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.21.5) of 2016-09-05 on trouble, modified by Debian.

When I try emacs -Q foo.cc I get:

If I then manually load modern-c++-font-lock-mode this changes to:

Apparently emacs 25.1 landed two days ago in Debian, so I'll upgrade and see if that helps.

[adl]

Ok, so this is actually fixed by Emacs 25.1.

Sorry for the noise!

It's good you can upgrade your Emacs with the last version. You will have a newer version of the c++-mode. I expect modern-c++-font-lock-mode to support it as well.

Enjoy your coding!
