D-style Enum Syntax Support in cc-mode

Question

I would like to extend cc-mode in Emacs to support D style enums as follow

enum EnumName: EnumType
{
    // enumerators...
}

The part : EnumType is the new part that needs to be supported.

Does anybody know how to solve this or which function to modify?

Emacs just got support for C++11 enum class syntax so maybe someone is up-to-date on this issue.

I'm not an emacs user, but maybe the answer can be found in the d-mode you can find on github https://github.com/Emacs-D-Mode-Maintainers/Emacs-D-Mode On line 221 there seems to be a relevant function.
