bug#59953: 28.2; c type modifiers only work as prefixes for font-lock, cc-mode

[Chris Hecker]

cc-mode doesn't seem to recognize that c type specifiers can come in any order (and I prefer them after so they're modifying the base type), so the highlighting doesn't work right for the variable name.  Here's an example in a struct, works the same way in a function:

struct foo {

  unsigned int One;

  int unsigned Two;

};

emacs -Q results:

I couldn't see an easy way of fixing this (besides just adding all the combos to *-font-lock-extra-types).  Seems like there needs to be a c-primitive-type-postfix-kwds variable to do this right?

Thanks,

Chris
