CCS 5.2 syntax highliting & macro expansion

I have a project part of which intended to compile on multiple platforms. I have custom platform.h file, where I define my own platform macro names, something like

#if defined(WIN32) || defined(_WINDOWS)
    #define _WIN32_            1
    #define _TMS320C62_        0
    #define _TMS320C6X_        0
    #define _TMS320C64X_     0
#elif defined(_TMS320C6X)
    #define _WIN32_            0
    #define _TMS320C6X_        1
    #if defined(_TMS320C6200)
        #define _TMS320C62_    1
    #endif
    #if defined(_TMS320C6400)
        #define _TMS320C64X_   1
    #endif
#else
    #define _WIN32_            0
    #define _TMS320C62_        0
    #define _TMS320C6X_        0
    #define _TMS320C64X_     0
#endif

If I edit this code in CCS 5.2 editor, code covered by _TMS320C64X_ is highlighted as inactive. Moreover, is I hover mouse pointer over that macro name, it is shown to have 0 value. If I go to its definition, I fall to the last "else" section of above code. As code compiles correctly, I think there is no problem with CGT itself, its rather editor presentation problem. Any ideas how to fix it?

Thanks.

The tooltip shows the text of the current line, it doesn't mean the marco _TMS320C64X_ has any value. Try hover between the first _TMS320C64X_ and the second _TMS320C64X_, the tooltip shows different text.

Thanks for suggestion, but it does not work for me. Wherever I hover _TMS320C64X_ macro, tooltip shows 0. And as I mentioned, colouring of the code shows, that code covered by this macro is inactive. So what I am saying is that _TMS320C6X is defined by default in TI compilers, but syntax highlighter of CCS 5.2 does not recognize it to be defined. Since code compiles correct, I suspect the problem is with highlighter itself. Perhaps, it uses some general purpose parser, not TI's compiler.

Now that I kown _TMS320C6X is an internal macro defined by the compiler and looking at the CCS code, this macro is missing. I have filed a CQ for this defect.
