           Summary: PRC-tools code section annotations remove function from
                    class view
           Product: kdevelop

A bit of an obscure bug - more of a wish, really. In PalmOS development it is necessary to put functions into different code sections in order to avoid the limitations of 16-bit jumps and allow >32k jumps.
To do this, the code section is specified after the function declaration. For example:

void foo(UInt16 bar) __attribute__ ((section ("filefns")));

would put foo in the "filefns" section. To make it easier to type, I normally do:

#define FILE_SECTION __attribute__ ((section ("filefns")))

but if I try to specify a function like this:

void foo(UInt16 bar) FILE_SECTION;

it isn't shown in the class view. If I type the declaration in full, it is shown, only the version using the #define isn't.

Is there any way the #defined version could be made to work with the class view? I imagine parsing all preprocessor directives might be a bit too complex to do every time the class view is updated though!
