In Emacs 25.1 the first a++ is now commented correctly.

The 2nd a++ is not commented, but this is a known limitation according
 to
 https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/ccmode/Limitations-and-Known-Bugs.html

If trigraph support is desired, then I believe a new bug report should be
opened.
