Hi,

This is just to report on some minor C++ syntax highlighting problem in emacs.

when I write:

	if (a < b->c())  { do this; } else { do that; }

two two things go wrong:
1) parentheses matching doesn't work correctly 
	emacs matches the closing bracket of the if condition with the "<" - "smaller 
than" sign in the if condition.

2) the automatic positioning of any code written below gets confused due to 
this parentheses matching problem.

I use:

 GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i386-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.16.6)
 of 2009-09-29 on x86-7.fedora.phx.redhat.com

Hope this is of any use.
Cheers,
Bart
