Eclipse indexer does not recognize certain mbed classes, does recognize others

Hello. I setup Eclipse C++ with the gcc arm embedded toolchain (not gcc4mbed). It works great, but I ran into an issue related to the indexer (I think) on my latest project.

My problem should be clear if I give the steps to reproduce my issue:

1. Create some class and #include "mbed.h"

2. Declare some member variable of type DigitalOut. Notice that Eclipse recognizes this just fine because the text turns bold, and code completion works fine when interacting with the variable.

3. Declare another member variable of type PwmOut. Notice that Eclipse does NOT recognize this, the text does not turn bold, and code completion doesn't work because Eclipse doesn't know what a PwmOut is. Eclipse says:

Errors (1 item)

Type 'PwmOut' could not be resolved.

4. Build project completes successfully, compiler throws no errors, even though Eclipse still does not recognize PwmOut. Binary runs correctly on my LPC1768.

How is it possible that Eclipse can recognize DigitalOut but not PwmOut? Both are listed in the same code block inside mbed.h, and DigitalOut.h is in the same directory as PwmOut.h.

I have tried adapting suggestions I found when searching on Google, including messing with Paths and Symbols, rebuilding the index, and "Freshening" all files in the index.

Any help is appreciated! yankee
