struct cannot be used as a part of a type cast.

[matter123]

From:
microsoft/vscode-cpptools#3741

Description of Issue:
When struct is a part of a type cast it does not close the struct head until the ;.

Possible Solution:
Temporary:

• Prevent the struct declaration pattern from being preceded by (
• End the struct declaration at )

Permanent:

• Prevent struct declarations from happening inside of the function definition context

Example Code:

void func()
{
    struct var** thing = (struct var**)func(); //comment
}

Temp fix for this by including the parameter struct syntax inside of the () blocks. Probably need to make sure this is covered for enums/unions too before closing this issue.

Yeah there is an issue with class and union

Edit: for copy/paste:

void func()
{
    class var** thing = (class var**)func(); //comment
    struct var** thing = (struct var**)func(); //comment
    enum var** thing = (enum var**)func(); //comment
    union var** thing = (union var**)func(); //comment
}

Alright this should be fully fixed with the latest change and should be pushed to the extension in the next day or so.
