[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Incorrect type highlight in presence of macros (#1654)

[Colomban Wendling]

Tricky preprocessor :)  The thing is that it would be perfectly valid to have `struct BLEH foo` in your example, esp. as it expands to nothing.  Meh.
Maybe you could try current Universal-CTags that has a totally new C and C++ parser, it would be interesting to see what the stock behavior is here (it might be better or worse I guess).

A workaround is to use *ignore.tags* and list your macros there.  E.g. mine contains a lot of GLib's macros and a few others:
```
G_GNUC_DEPRECATED_FOR+
G_GNUC_PRINTF+
G_GNUC_SCANF+
G_GNUC_FORMAT+
G_GNUC_*
G_DEPRECATED
G_DEPRECATED_FOR+
G_UNAVAILABLE+
G_DEFINE_TYPE+
G_DEFINE_TYPE_EXTENDED+
G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_CODE+
G_DEFINE_BOXED_TYPE+
GLIB_AVAILABLE_*
GIO_AVAILABLE_*
GDK_AVAILABLE_*
GTK_AVAILABLE_*
GLIB_DEPRECATED_IN_2_50_FOR+
GLIB_DEPRECATED_IN_2_48_FOR+
GLIB_DEPRECATED_IN_2_46_FOR+
GLIB_DEPRECATED_IN_2_44_FOR+
GLIB_DEPRECATED_IN_2_42_FOR+
GLIB_DEPRECATED_IN_2_40_FOR+
GLIB_DEPRECATED_IN_2_38_FOR+
GLIB_DEPRECATED_IN_2_36_FOR+
GLIB_DEPRECATED_IN_2_34_FOR+
GLIB_DEPRECATED_IN_2_32_FOR+
GLIB_DEPRECATED_IN_2_30_FOR+
GLIB_DEPRECATED_IN_2_28_FOR+
GLIB_DEPRECATED_IN_2_26_FOR+
GLIB_DEPRECATED_IN_*
GLIB_EXTERN
GLIB_VAR
__STL_NOTHROW
__THROW
GIT_EXTERN=extern
cairo_public
GEANY_DEPRECATED
GEANY_PRIVATE_FIELD
GEANY_DEPRECATED_FOR+
```
