Hi,

  You can not use the existing semantic c/c++ parser to colorize code.
You could, however, write a new parser in Semantic that uses grammar
actions that do colorization.  If you used the existing C/C++ grammar
as a starting point, then you would only be able to colorize the
declarations, but not the code, since the existing parser doesn't
parse the code.  It would provide a good proof of concept for the
process which no-one has yet tried.
