Please describe exactly what actions triggered the
bug
and the precise symptoms of the
bug:

For a reason that is only known to me, I wish to add the
following
code to fontify c++-mode
buffers:

(add-hook 'font-lock-mode-hook 'my-special-font-lock-mode-
hook)

(make-face 'my-face-cc-illegal-
type)
(set-face-background 'my-face-cc-illegal-type
"#0ff")
(set-face-foreground 'my-face-cc-illegal-type
"#f00")

(defun my-special-font-lock-mode-hook
()
  (font-lock-add-keywords 'c++-
mode
 
'(
                            ("\\<[A-Z]+[a-z][a-zA-Z0-9_]*\\>" 0 'my-
face-cc-illegal-type nil)
                            )
 
nil
                          ))

The problem for me is that it also fontifies occurrences of
this
regexp in strings and comments when all I want it to fontify
are
occurrences in code
proper.

Does anyone know how I can achieve
this?

My hunch is that what I am trying to do is beyond the
functionality
that was written by the writers of the font locking code.
Please
correct me if I am
wrong.

If my desired feature is not supported then would one of
the
developers of Emacs consider implementing
it?

I considered replacing the "t" in the above code with "nil", but
then
occurences that are part of parameters are not fontified
correctly.
