Kate/KDE3 doesn't know anything about C++ code except a few keywords and
the highlighting mechanism is not extensible enough to hook in
kdevelop's code model. So all you can do is find the C++ highlighting
file (IIRC some xml file shipped as part of kdelibs) and add
MessageSize_t as a keyword. For more information on how to do that visit
www.kate-editor.org, the homepage of Kate.

It already is working in KDevelop4/Kate3, i.e. KDE4. This is not usable
atm, but there are some screenshots for this. Kate's highlighting
mechanism is extended there to allow KDevelop to do additional
highlighting.
