Thanks, I've incorporated all these changes into the attached patch. The
only difference between my patch and the version you provided was to
keep the `(search-backward "\"")' portion from my patch, since the code
needs to find the last double-quote, not the end of line.
As an aside, it's probably worth explaining why my patch searches for
the last double-quote in the first place. As far as I understand CC
Mode, when there's an unterminated double-quote on a line, both the
quote and the newline have a string fence property applied to them. This
means we could check the newline for that property, *but* there's no
guarantee a newline actually exists: `(c-point 'eoll)' could actually
point to the end of the buffer. To get around that, we search backwards
for the last double-quote of the (logical) line, since that's guaranteed
to exist.
If we wanted to, we could avoid searching backwards for the last
double-quote when a newline exists, but I'm not sure the gain in
performance (likely very small) is worth the extra code complexity.

Subject: [PATCH] Improve behavior of 'electric-pair-mode' in 'cc-mode'
This ensures that quotes are paired correctly within comments, allows for
insertion of quote pairs immediately before another quote, and allows
inserting quote pairs within a string (thus splitting the string in two).
* lisp/progmodes/cc-mode.el (c-electric-pair-inhibit-predicate):
Inhibit insertion of paired quote in fewer cases.
* test/lisp/electric-tests.el (define-electric-pair-test):
Add 'c-mode' to list of modes to test by default.
