Usage of "struct foo* f;" in C incorrectly generates a declaration for "foo"

[sean-mcmanus]

Use

typedef struct foo
{
	struct foo* f;
} foo;

The Outline view incorrectly shows "foo::foo" being a declaration.

This bug has existed in VS for a long time, so it's probably too low priority for them to fix.

clangd doesn't have this issue, why you still can't fix this?

@ljhm We're considering adding a setting to enabling tag parsing in C mode, which would fix this: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools/issues/9570
