Why does Eclipse CDT say: 'syntax error', but compilation no problem

Question

I am working in existing C code which has a couple of lines with statements similar to this one:

struct collect_conn *tc = (struct collect_conn *) 
     ((char *

I've seen Eclipse do this some times, and I use it for Java. Usually closing and opening the file again fixes it for me (resets whatever is wrong). It usually seems to be an error that WAS there but has been fixed and the "error cache" isn't updated correctly.
