bug#7275: 24.0.50; Incomplete font locking in c++-mode with Emacs 24

[Suvayu Ali]

Hi Emacs developers,

Since about 3 weeks I am seeing incomplete font-locking behaviour with
"GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1" in c++-mode. The variables and function names
are displayed in the `default' face instead of
`font-lock-variable-name-face' and `font-lock-function-name-face'
respectively.

Recipe:
1. Start emacs with `emacs -Q'
2. Open a C++ source file
3. Navigate to the implementation of a function or instantiation of an
    object

To demonstrate, I took comparing screenshots with Emacs 24 and Emacs 23. 
Compare lines 83 and 91 in the screen shots to see what I mean.

Emacs 23.2.1 (correct font-lock behaviour)

PS: I am not subscribed to the list.

Hope I didn't miss to include any information.

Emacs 24.5 font-locks the same as your correct font-locking picture.
