OK, I've applied this patch, please try this test release,
  http://brasko.net:81/bob/cgdb-20090721.tar.gz
and let me know how it works out. If it works for you, I'll put it 
in the next release.

I'd prefer not to do a solution like this. However, if you want to write
the entire scanner for the Objective-C++ language, I'll accept it.
I can show you what to do if you want. It's mostly just a flex scanner
under the hood. All you really need to do is enumerate all the keywords.

Thanks,
