C source code highlighting not functioning after macro definition containing > and parentheses

[Sleepwalking]

(moved from atom/atom #7151)

Atom (and also github's markdown) only highlights the first line but not the second line for the following C code:

#define a >b()
int c;
int d;

And after the second line everything is fine again.

Here's a more realistic senario:

#define fmax(f, a, b) (f(a) > f(b) ? f(a) : f(b))
int c;
int d;

This bug only happens when there is one or more letter between > and (, including spaces but excluding tokens begining with numbers. For example these are going to trigger the bug:

#define a > a b c d ()
int e;
int f;
#define a > a b12 c34 d56 ()
int e;
int f;

This is not going to trigger the bug:

#define a > a b c 1d ()
int e;
int f;

Square brackets instead of parentheses would not trigger the bug:

#define a > a b c d []
int e;
int f;
#define a > a b12 c34 d56 []
int e;
int f;

Version of Atom editor: 0.204.0 on both Ubuntu 14 and Windows 7
This bug occurs even if all packages except core packages are disabled.

Thanks!!!
