[aspectc-user] ac++ fails at asm-keyword

[Olaf Spinczyk]

You are right. There seems to be a problem with the gcc asm syntax 
extension. The alternate keywords ("__asm__" and "__volatile__") work 
fine, but the parser has a problem with "::". It works if you insert a 
white space character between ":" and ":". It looks as if gcc does not 
use the normal scanner to recognize token, but a context-dependent 
scanner. Hm. We'll look into it.
