It's unfortunate that the SourceForge mailing list archives are so
gross.  FYI, this is a link to the email from 2012 with the patch
attached:

https://sourceforge.net/p/cc-mode/mailman/message/29722632/

This is a link to download the patch:

https://sourceforge.net/p/cc-mode/mailman/attachment/m2sjbfi7tl.fsf%40gmail.com/1/

I've included the patch itself below if you prefer that instead of the
above links.

Cheers!
