Description
The programmer often needs to select a block of code - usually a specific block like a declaration or a part of an expression. A convenient improvement introduced in JDT allows to make such a selection very quickly - by moving the cursor into a desired place and expanding the selection upwards through the AST to cover the expected range. C/C++ programmers would find this feature as useful as in Java.

Please append your opinion here.
Solution
The behaviour in CDT would match the behaviour in JDT - expand the selection one node upwards, forward or back according to the AST.
