bug#28418: 25.2; c++ angle bracket incorrect mismatch

["Tanis, Craig" <Craig-Tanis@utc.edu>]

The opening angle bracket from the stream insertion operator (<<)
becomes misclassified as an opening delimiter if a later string literal in the
file contains >>

See the following sample file.  Notice that you must type in the string
as indicated because the act of typing triggers the misclassification.
When the error occurs, the closing bracket matches the '<' right before "nice". 

I suggest pasting this into a new file and then manipulating the first string.


//---------------------------
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  std::cout << "nice"; // <-- manually type in this string
  return 0;
}

void subroutine()
{
    char* foo= "a >> b";
    return;
}

//---------------------------
