This was a bug in one of the regexps parsing declarators, namely
c-type-decl-prefix-key.  It was recognising "const" as an identifier,
because the explicit check for "const\|throw\|volatile" came later in the
regexp than "[[:alpha:]_]....".

Please apply the following patch, which fixes it, and let me know if it
works or not.  PLEASE NOTE: because a macro in cc-langs has changed, you
need to recompile cc-{mode,engine}.el.  Here's a recipe for this, after
patching the files:

M-x byte-compile-file cc-langs.el
M-x load-file cc-langs.elc
M-x byte-compile-file cc-mode.el
M-x load-file cc-mode.elc
M-x byte-compile-file cc-engine.el
M-x load-file cc-engine.el

M-x c++-mode

Hi Alan, again, thanks, this fixes the problem in 22.2.  (I also
compiled cc-fonts.el.)
