    OK.  I think this bug is now fixed in the current master, in particular
    after the commit 585fb957399f21a93cbfabd182b76262466797e3 from
yesterday,
    "CC Mode: allow bogusly "adjacent" double quote marks to pair up
    syntactically".

    I've had several bugs with overlapping causes to fix, so apologies that
    bug #36397 kind of got pushed down the stack.

    Could I ask you, please, to check whether the bug is indeed fixed in
    master, and let me know.  If it is, I can then close the bug.

Thanks Alan,
There are still some issues with fontifying strings. I reverted the patch
you provided earlier and rebuilt from master.

From Emacs -Q, visit an empty or absent file in C++ mode and type the
following (two slashes, a space and a double quote):

// "

Actual: The double quote is highlighted in font-lock-warning-face.
Expected: font-lock-comment-face.
