No semantic token information for alignas keyword

Environment

OS and Version: Windows 10 22H2 19045
VS Code Version: 1.75.1
C/C++ Extension Version: 1.14.3

Bug Summary and Steps to Reproduce

Bug Summary:

The built-in textmate grammar doesn't handle alignas(n) on a struct well. Note how the parentheses end up highlighted. The opening paren is actually part of the alignas token so there's no way to color the keyword without coloring the parens.

This is a place we we need a little help from the extension. The extension should emit a semantic token for alignas.

It doesn't need to be (and shouldn't be) a semantic token. The TextMake scopes come from VS Code itself, which come from https://github.com/jeff-hykin/better-cpp-syntax/issues , so you should report this bug there.

The current behavior seems fine to me though and I'm not sure exactly what change you want with the lexical tokens.

I'm not sure exactly what change you want with the lexical tokens.

The parenthesis should not be part of the token. No other keyword includes the parenthesis.

Looks like alignas has a bit of history.
