Hello, Jianbin.

Thank you indeed for taking the trouble to report this bug, and thank
you even more for cutting the test case down to a concise, easy to work
with file.

Yes.  What is happening is that CC Mode is falsely recognising the -> in
a->name as the trailing return type of the lambda expression.

I think the following patch should fix it.  Could I ask you, please, to
apply this patch to ..../emacs/lisp/progmodes/cc-engine.el, byte-compile
the file, and try it out on your real C++ source code.  In the unlikely
event you want help with the patching or byte-compilation, feel free to
send me private email.  After this, please either confirm to us that the
problem is fixed, or tell us what is still not working.  Thanks!
