bug#1177: 23.0.60; cc-mode cannot recognize pointer array declaretions

[Feng Li]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

cc-mode cannot fontify the following code correctly, where
'prUTF16Char*' should have the type face and sampleRateStrings should
have the variable face, but they both are displayed in regular text
color.

prUTF16Char*            sampleRateStrings[] = {L"48000Hz"};

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
c:/emacs/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
