KDevelop background parser does not recognize include guards

[Zlatan Stanojevic]

To whom it may concern

KDevelop 5.3.2, KDE Frameworks 5.58.0, Qt 5.11.3
Fedora package: kdevelop-5.3.2-1.fc29.src.rpm

The KDevelop background parser does not recognize include guards in a couple 
of my project files, such as the following:

vsppst_base.hh:
#ifndef VSPPST_BASE_HH_
#define VSPPST_BASE_HH_

...{includes, other defines, namespaces, class definitions}...

#endif /* VSPPST_BASE_HH_ */

The following explanation is given by KDevelop:

"{path_cut}/include/vsppst_base.hh:1:1: Header is not guarded against multiple 
inclusions
The given header is not guarded against multiple inclusions, either with the 
conventional #ifndef/#define/#endif macro guards or with #pragma once."

Clearly, the file _is_ guarded.

The contents of the header file are then completely ignored by the background 
parser making any declarations therein inaccessible to code navigation and 
causing a flood of errors in any other file that includes this one.

Can someone please explain to me how the part of the background parser works 
that checks include guards, and what can be done do to avoid this error?

Kind regards
Zlatan
