bug#13612: 24.3.50; Incorrect syntax highlighting in cc-mode

[Dima Kogan <dima@secretsauce.net>]

I'm observing incorrect highlighting of some C code I'm looking at. This
issue appears to have been around at least since emacs23.

Make a file tst.c with the following in it:



void f(void)
{
  filter_R( dt );
  filter_t( dt );

  a = b;
}



I'm observing the filter_R line being colored differently from the
filter_t line. Everything on the filter_R line is using the 'default'
face. 'filter_t' uses font-lock-type-face. 'dt' on the filter_t line
uses font-lock-variable-name-face.
