Code highlighting fails if casting to a certain syntax of pointer

Describe the bug

• OS and Version: Windows 10 latest
• VS Code Version: 1.35
• C/C++ Extension Version: 0.23.1
• Other extensions you installed (and if the issue persists after disabling them): Git lens (issue persists)
• A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
  Color highlighting fails for the rest of the line if you cast like this:

void* func()
{
return nullptr;
}
enum var
{

};
void func2()
{
    enum var** thing = (enum var**)func();
}

For the rest of the line after the cast to enum var** the colorization does not work, this is the same if you use struct as the keyword instead of var. I think it has to do with expecting C++ style structure casting vs. C, although c++ can use both.

Here's a screenshot showing my example and its highlighting.

Hi @chuggafan,

Currently, colorization is provided by VS Code. It uses TextMate grammar to colorize. You might get improved results with this extension.

We are actually in the process of implementing colorization based on IntelliSense, which we hope to include in the next release of the C/C++ extension.

Temp fix was created just now on v1.11.7 of the extension. There's likely a similar case with enums that will probably get fixed sometime this weekend.

Closing as this is no longer repro'ing in VS Code.
