Re: Semantic cannot parse a c++ enum

Hello Eric,

Thanks for the patch but I found another workaround in the meantime :
semantic-complete-jump. I don't know why but it has the missing enum
symbols. So I made my custom jump function, why tries in order :
1) local variables and args (no context needed, very fast)
2) semantic-ia-fast-jump
3) semantic-complete-jump

I'll stick with this one until you are sure of a solution and deliver it in
the usual cedet's repos.

You might find the answer in the logic of semantic-complete-jump.

Thanks,
Vincent
