That's probably because your 'iskeyword' option contains ":". You
can check that with

:set iskeyword?

That's not the default and it's not normal for C, so if 'iskeyword'
does contain ":", you might first try to find out where that is
being set with

:verbose set iskeyword?

then fix your configuration as required so that that doesn't happen.

You can fix the problem in the short term and further verify that
that is the problem by executing

:set iskeyword-=:
