Sorry about that!  Can I assume
(i) You've already tried this, starting Emacs with Emacs -Q?
(ii) Youre using the latest version of Emacs 24?

Searching and C++ Mode are, as far as I know, completely orthogonal.
Before going any further, could you please try switching the file into
fundamental mode (with M-x fundamental-mode) and tell me if the search
still hangs.  Thanks!
