Nice! The patch looks good.

What is 

#line 2 "cclexer.cpp"

#line 4 "cclexer.cpp"

supposed to do in cclexer.cpp ?

On a different matter:
David Nolden, who wrote the Cpp support for KDevelop, wrote is parser by hand 
afaik. Maybe one should investigate whether one should take the cc approach. 
Of course that won't happen before 4.0 as it might break a lot, yet in the 
future it could make sense...

If you want to continue working with this stuff, I'd have tons of languages 
that need a working parser :) So if it is fun for you, here's a list of 
languages I would like to have a parser for:

- Css
- MySQL
- Bash
- XML
- .ini (like in .desktop files)

If you are up to it, please contribute :D I once started with Css but failed 
horribly, because I could not find much documentation on the *.g syntax, did 
you find any? If not, I would also appreciate it greatly if you could write 
some documentation!
