[Qt-creator] [baremetal] Add additional compiler keywords to CPP editor

[Denis Shienkov]

Hi guys.

How I can add an additional compiler keywords (e.g. present in KEIL C51
compiler, like: idata, xdata, pdata and others) to the QtC editor. Because
otherwise, the QtC highlids this keywords as an errors, f.e:

int main(void)
{
    unsigned char xdata variable; /// <<< HERE an 'xdata' is a C51
compiler's keyword.
}

I would to add this keywords only to 'baremetal' plugin... Also, a set of
this keywords is different for each bare-metal toolchain (e.g. on KEIL, on
IAR it is different).

I looked the QtC sources and I see the 3rd Token class, but that class is a
common for all compilers. Besides, the default CppHighlighter class is rigidly
tied to the Token, and no any chance to flexible set any new keyword there.

For me, it would be good to be possible to automatically set the keywords,
depends on current CPP toolchain. E.g. if I will use the IAR toolchain,
then CppEditor will know the IAR keywords... If I want to switch to the
KEIL toolchain, then the CppEditor also will switch the syntax highliding
to the KEIL keywords.

Is it possible to implement this behavior at all?

BR,
Denis
