! @ccmode{} has an indentation engine that provides a flexible and general
! mechanism for customizing indentation. It separates indentation
! calculation into two steps: first, @ccmode{} analyzes the line of code
! being indented to determine the kind of language construct it's looking
! at, then it applies user defined offsets to the current line based on
! this analysis.
!
! This section will briefly cover how indentation is calculated in
! @ccmode{}. It is important to understand the indentation model being
! used so that you will know how to customize @ccmode{} for your personal
! coding style. All the details are in @ref{Customizing Indentation}, and
! later chapters.
! @defopt c-syntactic-indentation
! @vindex syntactic-indentation (c-)
! Syntactic analysis for indentation is done when this is address@hidden
! (which is the default). When it's @code{nil} every line is just
! indented to the same level as the previous one, and @kbd{TAB}
! (@code{c-indent-command}) adjusts the indentation in steps of
! @code{c-basic-offset}. The indentation style has no effect, nor any of
! the indentation associated variables, e.g., @code{c-special-indent-hook}.

! @cindex relative buffer position
! @cindex syntactic symbols
! @cindex syntactic component
! @cindex syntactic component list
! The first thing @ccmode{} does when indenting a line of code, is to
! analyze the line, determining the @dfn{syntactic component list} of the
! construct on that line. A syntactic component consists of a pair of
! elements (in lisp parlance, a @emph{cons cell}), the first being
! a @dfn{syntactic symbol}, the second being a @dfn{relative
! buffer position}. Syntactic symbols describe elements of C code
! @footnote{Unless otherwise noted, the term ``C code'' refers to all
! the C-like languages.}, e.g., @code{statement}, @code{substatement},
! @code{class-open}, @code{class-close}, etc. @xref{Syntactic Symbols},
! for a complete list of currently recognized syntactic symbols and their
! semantics. The style variable @code{c-offsets-alist} also contains the
! list of currently supported syntactic symbols.
!
! Conceptually, a line of C code is always indented relative to the
! indentation of some line higher up in the buffer. This is represented
! by the relative buffer position in the syntactic component.
!
! Here is an example. Suppose we had the following code as the only thing
! in a C++ buffer @footnote{The line numbers in this and future examples
! don't actually appear in the buffer, of course!}:
!
! @example
! 1: void swap( int& a, int& b )
! 2: @{
! 3: int tmp = a;
! 4: a = b;
! 5: b = tmp;
! 6: @}
! @end example
! @kindex C-c C-s
! @findex c-show-syntactic-information
! @findex show-syntactic-information (c-)
! We can use the command @kbd{C-c C-s} (bound to
! @code{c-show-syntactic-information}) to simply report what the
! syntactic analysis is for the current line. Running this command on
! line 4 of this example, we'd see in the echo address@hidden a
! universal argument (i.e., @kbd{C-u C-c C-s}) the analysis is inserted
! into the buffer as a comment on the current line.}:
@example
! ((statement 35))
@end example
! This tells us that the line is a statement and it is indented relative
! to buffer position 35, which happens to be the @samp{i} in @code{int} on
! line 3. If you were to move point to line 3 and hit @kbd{C-c C-s}, you
! would see:
@example
! ((defun-block-intro 29))
@end example
! This indicates that the @samp{int} line is the first statement in a top
! level function block, and is indented relative to buffer position 29,
! which is the brace just after the function header.
!
! Here's another example:
@example
! 1: int add( int val, int incr, int doit )
! 2: @{
! 3: if( doit )
! 4: @{
! 5: return( val + incr );
! 6: @}
! 7: return( val );
! 8: @}
@end example
@noindent
! Hitting @kbd{C-c C-s} on line 4 gives us:
@example
! ((substatement-open 46))
@end example
- @cindex substatement
- @cindex substatement block
@noindent
! which tells us that this is a brace that @emph{opens} a substatement
! block. @footnote{A @dfn{substatement} is the line after a
! conditional statement, such as @code{if}, @code{else}, @code{while},
! @code{do}, @code{switch}, etc. A @dfn{substatement
! block} is a brace block following one of these conditional statements.}
!
! @cindex comment-only line
! Syntactic component lists can contain more than one component, and
! individual syntactic components need not have relative buffer positions.
! The most common example of this is a line that contains a @dfn{comment
! only line}.
! @example
! 1: void draw_list( List<Drawables>& drawables )
! 2: @{
! 3: // call the virtual draw() method on each element in list
! 4: for( int i=0; i < drawables.count(), ++i )
! 5: @{
! 6: drawables[i].draw();
! 7: @}
! 8: @}
! @end example
! @noindent
! Hitting @kbd{C-c C-s} on line 3 of this example gives:
@example
! ((comment-intro) (defun-block-intro 46))
@end example
@noindent
! and you can see that the syntactic component list contains two syntactic
! components. Also notice that the first component,
! @samp{(comment-intro)} has no relative buffer position.
!

! @section Indentation Calculation
! @cindex indentation
@comment !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
! Indentation for a line is calculated using the syntactic
! component list derived in step 1 above (@pxref{Syntactic Analysis}).
! Each component contributes to the final total indentation of the line in
! two ways.
!
! First, the syntactic symbols are looked up in the @code{c-offsets-alist}
! style variable, which is an association list of syntactic symbols and
! the offsets to apply for those symbols. These offsets are added to a
! running total.
!
! Second, if the component has a relative buffer position, @ccmode{}
! adds the column number of that position to the running total. By adding
! up the offsets and columns for every syntactic component on the list,
! the final total indentation for the current line is computed.
!
! Let's use our two code examples above to see how this works. Here is
! our first example again:
!
! @example
! 1: void swap( int& a, int& b )
! 2: @{
! 3: int tmp = a;
! 4: a = b;
! 5: b = tmp;
! 6: @}
! @end example
!
! Let's say point is on line 3 and we hit the @kbd{TAB} key to reindent
! the line. Remember that the syntactic component list for that
! line is:
!
! @example
! ((defun-block-intro 29))
! @end example
!
! @noindent
! @ccmode{} looks up @code{defun-block-intro} in the
! @code{c-offsets-alist} style variable. Let's say it finds the value
! @samp{4}; it adds this to the running total (initialized to zero),
! yielding a running total indentation of 4 spaces.
!
! Next @ccmode{} goes to buffer position 29 and asks for the current
! column. This brace is in column zero, so @ccmode{}
! adds @samp{0} to the running total. Since there is only one syntactic
! component on the list for this line, indentation calculation is
! complete, and the total indentation for the line
! is 4 spaces.
!
! Here's another example:
!
! @example
! 1: int add( int val, int incr, int doit )
! 2: @{
! 3: if( doit )
! 4: @{
! 5: return( val + incr );
! 6: @}
! 7: return( val );
! 8: @}
! @end example
!
! If we were to hit @kbd{TAB} on line 4 in the above example, the same
! basic process is performed, despite the differences in the syntactic
! component list. Remember that the list for this line is:
!
! @example
! ((substatement-open 46))
! @end example
!
! Here, @ccmode{} first looks up the @code{substatement-open} symbol
! in @code{c-offsets-alist}. Let's say it finds the value @samp{4}. This
! yields a running total of 4. @ccmode{} then goes to
! buffer position 46, which is the @samp{i} in @code{if} on line 3. This
! character is in the fourth column on that line so adding this to the
! running total yields an indentation for the line of 8 spaces.
!
! Simple, huh?
!
! Actually, the mode usually just does The Right Thing without you having
! to think about it in this much detail. But when customizing

! @ccmode{} contains two minor-mode-like features that you should
! find useful while entering new C code. The first is called
! @dfn{auto-newline} mode, and the second is called @dfn{hungry-delete}
! mode. These minor modes can be toggled on and off independently, and
! @ccmode{} can be configured so that it starts up with any
! combination of these minor modes. By default, both of these minor modes
! are turned off.
! The state of the minor modes is always reflected in the minor mode list
! on the modeline of the @ccmode{} buffer. When auto-newline mode is
! enabled, you will see @samp{C/a} on the mode address@hidden @samp{C}
! would be replaced with the name of the language in question for the
! other languages @ccmode{} supports.}. When hungry delete mode is
! enabled you will see @samp{C/h} and if both modes were enabled, you'd
! see @samp{C/ah}.

! @findex toggle-auto-state (c-)
! @findex toggle-auto-hungry-state (c-)
! @ccmode{} provides key bindings which allow you to toggle the minor
! modes on the fly while editing code. To toggle just the auto-newline
! state, hit @kbd{C-c C-a} (bound to @code{c-toggle-auto-state}). When
! you do this, you should see the @samp{a} indicator either appear or
! disappear on the modeline. Similarly, to toggle just the
! hungry-delete state, use @kbd{C-c C-d} (@code{c-toggle-hungry-state}),
! and to toggle both states, use @kbd{C-c C-t}
! (@code{c-toggle-auto-hungry-state}).
!
! To set up the auto-newline and hungry-delete states to your preferred
! values, you would need to add some lisp to your @file{.emacs} file that
! called one of the @code{c-toggle-*-state} functions directly. When
! called programmatically, each function takes a numeric value, where
! a positive number enables the minor mode, a negative number disables the
! mode, and zero toggles the current state of the mode.
!
! So for example, if you wanted to enable both auto-newline and
! hungry-delete for all your C file editing, you could add the following
! to your @file{.emacs} file:
! @example
! (add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook

! @cindex electric characters
! Auto-newline minor mode works by enabling certain @dfn{electric
! characters}. Special characters such as the left and right braces,
! colons, semicolons, etc., have been made electric to perform some
! magic formatting in addition to inserting the typed character. As a
! general rule, electric characters are only electric when the following
! conditions apply:
@itemize @bullet
@item
! Auto-newline minor mode is enabled, as evidenced by a @samp{C/a} or
! @samp{C/ah} indicator on the modeline.
!
! @item
! @cindex literal
! @cindex syntactic whitespace
! The character was not typed inside of a literal @footnote{A
! @dfn{literal} is defined as any comment, string, or preprocessor macro
! definition. These constructs are also known as @dfn{syntactic
! whitespace} since they are usually ignored when scanning C code.}.
@item
! No numeric argument was supplied to the command (i.e., it was typed as
! normal, with no @kbd{C-u} prefix).

!
! When you type either an open or close brace (i.e., @address@hidden or
@address@hidden),
! the electric command @code{c-electric-brace} gets run. This command has
! two electric formatting behaviors. First, it will perform some
! reindentation of the line the brace was typed on, and second, it will
! add various newlines before and/or after the typed brace.
! Reindentation occurs automatically whenever the electric behavior is
! enabled. If the brace ends up on a line other than the one it was typed
! on, then that line is also reindented.
!
! The default in auto-newline mode is to insert newlines both before and
! after a brace, but that can be controlled by the
! @code{c-hanging-braces-alist} style variable.
!
! @defopt c-hanging-braces-alist
! @vindex hanging-braces-alist (c-)
!
! This variable contains a mapping between syntactic symbols related to
! braces, and a list of places to insert a newline. The syntactic symbols
! that are useful for this list are @code{brace-list-intro},
! @code{statement-cont}, @code{inexpr-class-open},
! @code{inexpr-class-close}, and all the @code{*-open} and @code{*-close}
! symbols. @xref{Syntactic Symbols}, for a more detailed description of
! these syntactic symbols, except for @code{inexpr-class-open} and
! @code{inexpr-class-close}, which aren't actual syntactic symbols.
!
! The braces of anonymous inner classes in Java are given the special
! symbols @code{inexpr-class-open} and @code{inexpr-class-close}, so that
! they can be distinguished from the braces of normal address@hidden
! braces of anonymous classes produce a combination of
! @code{inexpr-class}, and @code{class-open} or @code{class-close} in
! normal indentation analysis.}.
! Note that the aggregate constructs in Pike mode, @samp{(@{},
@address@hidden)},
! @samp{([}, @samp{])}, and @samp{(<}, @samp{>)}, do not count as brace
! lists in this regard, even though they do for normal indentation
! purposes. It's currently not possible to set automatic newlines on
! these constructs.
! The value associated with each syntactic symbol in this association list
! is called an @var{action}, which can be either a function or a list.
! @xref{Custom Brace and Colon Hanging}, for a more detailed discussion of
! using a function as a brace hanging @var{action}.
!
! When the @var{action} is a list, it can contain any combination of the
! symbols @code{before} and @code{after}, directing @ccmode{} where to
! put newlines in relationship to the brace being inserted. Thus, if the
! list contains only the symbol @code{after}, then the brace is said to
! @dfn{hang} on the right side of the line, as in:
! @example
! // here, open braces always `hang'
! void spam( int i ) @{
! if( i == 7 ) @{
! dosomething(i);
! @}
! @}
! @end example
! When the list contains both @code{after} and @code{before}, the braces
! will appear on a line by themselves, as shown by the close braces in the
! above example. The list can also be empty, in which case no newlines
! are added either before or after the brace.
! If a syntactic symbol is missing entirely from
! @code{c-hanging-braces-alist}, it's treated in the same way as an
! @var{action} with a list containing @code{before} and @code{after}, so
! that braces by default end up on their own line.
! For example, the default value of @code{c-hanging-braces-alist} is:
! @example
! ((brace-list-open)
! (brace-entry-open)
! (statement-cont)
! (substatement-open after)
! (block-close . c-snug-do-while)
! (extern-lang-open after)
! (inexpr-class-open after)
! (inexpr-class-close before))
! @end example
! @noindent which says that @code{brace-list-open},
! @code{brace-entry-open} and @address@hidden lists
! inside statements, such as initializers for static array variables
! inside functions in C, are recognized as @code{statement-cont}. All
! normal substatement blocks are recognized with other symbols.} braces
! should both hang on the right side and allow subsequent text to follow
! on the same line as the brace. Also, @code{substatement-open},
! @code{extern-lang-open}, and @code{inexpr-class-open} braces should hang
! on the right side, but subsequent text should follow on the next line.
! The opposite holds for @code{inexpr-class-close} braces; they won't
! hang, but the following text continues on the same line. Here, in the
! @code{block-close} entry, you also see an example of using a function as
! an @var{action}. In all other cases, braces are put on a line by
! themselves.

! A few other keys also provide electric behavior, often only to reindent

! @item #

! @findex c-electric-pound
! @findex electric-pound (c-)
! @vindex c-electric-pound-behavior
! @vindex electric-pound-behavior (c-)
! Pound (bound to @code{c-electric-pound}) is electric when typed as the
! first non-whitespace character on a line and not within a macro
! definition. In this case, the variable @code{c-electric-pound-behavior}
! is consulted for the electric behavior. This variable takes a list
! value, although the only element currently defined is @code{alignleft},
! which tells this command to force the @samp{#} character into column
! zero. This is useful for entering preprocessor macro definitions.
! Pound is not electric in AWK buffers, where @samp{#} starts a comment,
! and is bound to @code{self-insert-command} like any typical printable

! @findex c-electric-slash
! @findex electric-slash (c-)
! Stars and slashes (bound to @code{c-electric-star} and
! @code{c-electric-slash} respectively) are also electric under certain
! circumstances. If a @samp{*} is inserted as the second character of a C
! style block comment on a comment-only line, then the comment delimiter
! is indented as defined by @code{c-offsets-alist}. A comment-only line
! is defined as a line which contains only a comment, as in:
! @example
! @group
! void spam( int i )
! @{
! // this is a comment-only line...
! if( i == 7 ) // but this is not
! @{
! dosomething(i);
! @}
! @}
! @end group
! @end example
! Likewise, if a @samp{/} is inserted as the second slash in a C++ style
! line comment (also only on a comment-only line), then the line is
! indented as defined by @code{c-offsets-alist}.
! In AWK mode, @samp{*} and @samp{/} do not delimit comments and are
! bound to @code{self-insert-command}.
! @item <

! @findex c-electric-lt-gt
! @findex electric-lt-gt (c-)
! Less-than and greater-than signs (bound to @code{c-electric-lt-gt}) are

! @item (
! @kindex (
! @itemx )
! @kindex )
! @findex c-electric-paren
! @findex electric-paren (c-)
! The normal parenthesis characters @samp{(} and @samp{)} reindent the

! @deffn Command c-electric-continued-statement
! @findex electric-continued-statement (c-)
! Certain keywords, depending on language, are electric to cause

! The keywords are those that continue an earlier statement instead of
! starting a new one: @code{else}, @code{while}, @code{catch} (only in C++
! and Java) and @code{finally} (only in Java).
! An example:
! @example
! @group
! for (i = 0; i < 17; i++)
! if (a[i])
! res += a[i]->offset;
! else
! @end group
! @end example
! Here, the @code{else} should be indented like the preceding @code{if},
! since it continues that statement. @ccmode{} will automatically reindent
! it after the @code{else} has been typed in full, since it's not until
! then it's possible to decide whether it's a new statement or a
! continuation of the preceding @code{if}.
! @vindex abbrev-mode
! @findex abbrev-mode
! @cindex Abbrev mode
! @ccmode{} uses Abbrev mode (@pxref{Abbrevs,,, emacs, The Emacs Editor})

! @dfn{Clean-ups} are mechanisms complementary to colon and brace hanging.
! On the surface, it would seem that clean-ups overlap the functionality
! provided by the @code{c-hanging-*-alist} variables. Clean-ups are
! however used to adjust code ``after-the-fact,'' i.e., to adjust the

! (@pxref{Auto-newline Insertion}), and when there is nothing but

! @table @code
! @item brace-else-brace
! Clean up @address@hidden else @{} constructs by placing the entire construct

! Clean up any space between the function name and the opening parenthesis

This function, which is bound to @kbd{C-d} by default, works just like

! This Lisp variable holds an integer, the number of columns @ccmode{}
! indents nested code. To set this value to 6, customize
! @code{c-basic-offset} or put this into your @file{.emacs}:
@example
! (setq c-basic-offset 6)
@end example
! @item The (indentation) style
! The basic ``shape'' of indentation created by @ccmode{}---by default,
! this is @code{gnu} style (except for Java and AWK buffers). A list of
! the availables styles and their descriptions can be found in
! @ref{Built-in Styles}. A complete specification of the @ccmode{}
! style system, including how to create your own style, can be found in
! the chapter @ref{Styles}. To set your style to @code{linux}, either
! customize @code{c-default-style} or put this into your @file{.emacs}:
@example
! (setq c-default-style '((java-mode . "java")
! (awk-mode . "awk")
! (other . "linux")))
@end example
! @item Electric Indentation
! Normally, when you type ``punctuation'' characters such as @samp{;} or
! @address@hidden, @ccmode{} instantly reindents the current line. This can
! be disconcerting until you get used to it. To disable @dfn{electric
! indentation} in the current buffer, type @kbd{C-c C-l}. Type the same
! thing to enable it again. To have electric indentation disabled by
! default, put the following into your @file{.emacs} address@hidden
! is no ``easy customization'' facility for making this change.}:
@example
! (setq-default c-electric-flag nil)
@end example
@noindent
! Details of of this and other similar ``Minor Modes'' appear in the
! section @ref{Minor Modes}.
!
! @item Making the @key{RET} key indent the new line
! The standard Emacs binding for @key{RET} just adds a new line. If you
! want it to reindent the new line as well, rebind the key. Note that
! the action of rebinding will fail if the pertinent keymap doesn't yet
! exist---we thus need to delay the action until after @ccmode{} has
! been loaded. Put the following code into your @file{.emacs}:
@example
! (defun my-make-CR-do-indent ()
! (define-key c-mode-base-map "\C-m" 'c-context-line-break))
! (add-hook 'c-initialization-hook 'my-make-CR-do-indent)
@end example
@noindent
! This example demonstrates the use of a very powerful @ccmode{} (and
! Emacs) facility, the hook. The use of @ccmode{}'s hooks is described
! in @ref{CC Hooks}.
! @end table
! All these settings should occur in your @file{.emacs} @emph{before}
! any @ccmode{} buffers get loaded---in particular, before any call of
! @code{desktop-read}.
!
! As you get to know the mode better, you may want to make more
! ambitious changes to your configuration. For this, you should start
! reading the chapter @ref{Config Basics}.
!
! If you are upgrading an existing @ccmode{} installation, please see
! the @file{README} file for installation details. In particular, if
! you are going to be editing AWK files, @file{README} describes how to
! configure your (X)Emacs so that @ccmode{} will supersede the obsolete
! @code{awk-mode.el} which might have been supplied with your (X)Emacs.
! @ccmode{} might not work with older versions of Emacs or XEmacs. See
! the @ccmode{} release notes at @uref{http://cc-mode.sourceforge.net}
! for the latest information on Emacs version and package compatibility
! (@pxref{Updating CC Mode}).
! @deffn Command c-version
! @findex version (c-)
! You can find out what version of @ccmode{} you are using by visiting a C
! file and entering @kbd{M-x c-version RET}. You should see this message in
! the echo area:
@example
! Using CC Mode version 5.XX

@comment !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
! The following commands reindent C constructs. Note that when you
! change your coding style, either interactively or through some other
! means, your file does @emph{not} automatically get reindented. You
! will need to execute one of the following commands to see the effects
! of your changes.
! @cindex GNU indent program
! Also, variables like @code{c-hanging-*} and @code{c-cleanup-list}
! (@pxref{Custom Auto-newlines}) only affect how on-the-fly code is
! formatted. Changing the ``hanginess'' of a brace and then
! reindenting, will not move the brace to a different line. For this,
! you're better off getting an external program like GNU @code{indent},
! which will rearrange brace location, amongst other things.
! Preprocessor directives are handled as syntactic whitespace from other
! code, i.e. they can be interspersed anywhere without affecting the
! indentation of the surrounding code, just like comments.
! The code inside macro definitions is, by default, still analyzed
! syntactically so that you get relative indentation there just as you'd
! get if the same code was outside a macro. However, since there is no
! hint about the syntactic context, i.e. whether the macro expands to an
! expression, to some statements, or perhaps to whole functions, the
! syntactic recognition can be wrong. @ccmode{} manages to figure it
! out correctly most of the time, though.
! Reindenting large sections of code can take a long time. When
! @ccmode{} reindents a region of code, it is essentially equivalent to
! hitting @key{TAB} on every line of the region.
+ These commands indent code:
! @table @asis
! @item @address@hidden (@code{c-indent-command})
! @kindex TAB
! @findex c-indent-command
! @findex indent-command (c-)
! This command indents the current line. That is all you need to know
! about it for normal use.
! @code{c-indent-command} does different things, depending on the
! settting of @code{c-syntactic-indentation} (@pxref{Indentation Engine
! Basics}):
@itemize @bullet
@item
! When it's address@hidden (which it normally is), the command indents
! the line according to its syntactic context. With a prefix argument
! (@kbd{C-u @key{TAB}}), it will re-indent the entire
! address@hidden is only useful for a line starting with a
! comment opener or an opening brace, parenthesis, or string quote.}
! that begins at the line's left margin.
@item
! When it's @code{nil}, the command indents the line by an extra
! @code{c-basic-offset} columns. A prefix argument acts as a
! multiplier. A bare prefix (@kbd{C-u @key{TAB}} is equivalent to -1,
! removing @code{c-basic-offset} columns from the indentation.
@end itemize
! The precise behavior is modified by several variables: With
! @code{c-tab-always-indent}, you can make @key{TAB} insert whitespace
! in some address@hidden then defines
! precisely what sort of ``whitespace'' this will be. Set the standard
! Emacs variable @code{indent-tabs-mode} to @code{t} if you want real
! @samp{tab} characters to be used in the indentation, to @code{nil} if
! you want only spaces. @xref{Just Spaces,,, @emacsman{},
! @emacsmantitle{}}.
+ @defopt c-tab-always-indent
+ @vindex tab-always-indent (c-)
+ @cindex literal
+ This variable modifies how @key{TAB} operates.
+ @itemize @bullet
+ @item
+ When it is @code{t} (the default), @key{TAB} simply indents the
+ current line.
+ @item
+ When it is @code{nil}, @key{TAB} (re)indents the line only if point is
+ to the left of the first non-whitespace character on the line.
+ Otherwise it inserts some whitespace (a tab or an equivalent number of
+ spaces - see below) at point.
+ @item
+ With some other value, the line is reindented. Additionally, if point
+ is within a string or comment, some whitespace is inserted.
+ @end itemize
+ @end defopt
! @defopt c-insert-tab-function
! @vindex insert-tab-function (c-)
! @findex tab-to-tab-stop
! When ``some whitespace'' is inserted as described above, what actually
! happens is that the function stored in @code{c-insert-tab-function} is
! called. Normally, this is @code{insert-tab}, which inserts a real tab
! character or the equivalent number of spaces (depending on
! @code{indent-tabs-mode}). Some people, however, set
! @code{c-insert-tab-function} to @code{tab-to-tab-stop} so as to get
! hard tab stops when indenting.
! @end defopt
! @end table
! @noindent
! The kind of indentation the next five commands do depends on the
! setting of @code{c-syntactic-indentation} (@pxref{Indentation Engine
! Basics}):
! @itemize @bullet
! @item
! when it is address@hidden (the default), the commands indent lines
! according to their syntactic context;
! @item
! when it is @code{nil}, they just indent each line the same amount as
! the previous non-blank line. The commands that indent a region aren't
! very useful in this case.
! @end itemize
! @table @asis
! @item @kbd{C-j} (@code{newline-and-indent})
! @kindex C-j
! @findex newline-and-indent
! Inserts a linefeed and indents the new blank line, ready to start
! typing. This is a standard (X)Emacs command.
! @item @kbd{C-M-q} (@code{c-indent-exp})
! @kindex C-M-q
! @findex c-indent-exp
! @findex indent-exp (c-)
! Indents an entire balanced brace or parenthesis expression. Note that
! point must be on the opening brace or parenthesis of the expression
! you want to indent.
! @item @kbd{C-c C-q} (@code{c-indent-defun})
! @kindex C-c C-q
! @findex c-indent-defun
! @findex indent-defun (c-)
! Indents the entire top-level function, class or macro definition
! encompassing point. It leaves point unchanged. This function can't be
! used to reindent a nested brace construct, such as a nested class or
! function, or a Java method. The top-level construct being reindented
! must be complete, i.e. it must have both a beginning brace and an ending
! brace.
! @item @kbd{C-M-\} (@code{indent-region})
! @kindex C-M-\
! @findex indent-region
! Indents an arbitrary region of code. This is a standard Emacs command,
! tailored for C code in a @ccmode{} buffer. Note, of course, that point
! and mark must delineate the region you want to indent.
! @item @kbd{C-M-h} (@code{c-mark-function})
! @kindex C-M-h
! @findex c-mark-function
! @findex mark-function (c-)
! While not strictly an indentation command, this is useful for marking
! the current top-level function or class definition as the current
! region. As with @code{c-indent-defun}, this command operates on
! top-level constructs, and can't be used to mark say, a Java method.
! @end table
! These variables are also useful when indenting code:
! @defopt indent-tabs-mode
! This is a standard Emacs variable that controls how line indentation
! is composed. When it's address@hidden, tabs can be used in a line's
! indentation, otherwise only spaces are used.
@end defopt
+ @defopt c-progress-interval
+ @vindex progress-interval (c-)
+ When indenting large regions of code, this variable controls how often a
+ progress message is displayed. Set this variable to @code{nil} to
+ inhibit the progress messages, or set it to an integer which is how
+ often (in seconds) progress messages are to be displayed.

+ @findex beginning-of-defun
+ @findex end-of-defun
+ Move to the start or end of the current top-level definition, this
+ being the outermost brace pair which encloses point. These functions
+ are analogous to the Emacs built-in commands @code{beginning-of-defun}
+ and @code{end-of-defun}, except they eliminate the constraint that the
+ top-level opening brace of the defun must be in column zero. See
+ @ref{Defuns,,,@emacsman{}, @emacsmantitle{}}, for more information.
+
+ Depending on the coding style you're using, you might prefer these two
+ commands to the standard Emacs ones. If so, consider binding them to
+ @kbd{C-M-a} and @kbd{C-M-e}. @xref{Sample .emacs File}. This
+ customization won't affect the special bindings for these key

+ default in AWK Mode. They can take prefix-arguments, their
+ functionality being entirely equivalent to @code{beginning-of-defun}
+ and @code{end-of-defun}.
! AWK Mode @dfn{defuns} are either pattern/action pairs (either of which
! might be implicit) or user defined functions. Having the @address@hidden and

! Move to the beginning or end of the innermost C statement. If point
! is already there, move to the next beginning or end of a statement,
! even if that means moving into a block. (Use @kbd{C-M-b} or
! @kbd{C-M-f} to move over a balanced block.) A prefix argument @var{n}
! means move over @var{n} statements.
! If point is within or next to a comment or a string which spans more
! than one line, these commands move by sentences instead of statements.
! When called from a program, these functions take three optional

! whether to do sentence motion in or near comments and multiline
! strings.
! @item @kbd{C-c C-u} (@code{c-up-conditional})

! there's a piece of normal text without having to think much about it.
! @ccmode{} keeps the indentation, fixes suitable comment line prefixes,
! and so on.
!
! You can configure the exact way comments get filled and broken, and

! @cindex Javadoc markup
! @cindex Pike autodoc markup
! This command fills multiline string literals and both block
! and line style comments. In Java buffers, the Javadoc markup words
! are recognized as paragraph starters. The line oriented Pike autodoc
! markup words are recognized in the same way in Pike mode.
!
! The formatting of the starters (@code{/*}) and enders (@code{*/}) of
! block comments are kept as they were before the filling. I.e., if
! either the starter or ender were on a line of its own, then it stays
! on its own line; conversely, if the delimiter has comment text on its
! line, it keeps at least one word of that text with it on the line.

! @item @kbd{M-j} (@code{c-indent-new-comment-line})
! @kindex M-j
! @findex c-indent-new-comment-line
! @findex indent-new-comment-line (c-)
! This breaks the current line at point and indents the new line. If
! point was in a comment, the new line gets the proper comment line
! prefix. If point was inside a macro, a backslash is inserted before
! the line break. It is the replacement for
! @code{indent-new-comment-line}.
!
! @item @kbd{M-x c-context-line-break}
! @findex c-context-line-break
! @findex context-line-break (c-)
! Insert a line break suitable to the context: If the point is inside a
! comment, the new line gets the suitable indentation and comment line
! prefix like @code{c-indent-new-comment-line}. In normal code it's
! indented like @code{newline-and-indent} would do. In macros it acts
! like @code{newline-and-indent} but additionally inserts and optionally
! aligns the line ending backslash so that the macro remains unbroken.
! @xref{Custom Macros}, for details about the backslash alignment.
!
! This function is not bound to a key by default, but it's intended to be
! used on the @kbd{RET} key. If you like the behavior of
! @code{newline-and-indent} on @kbd{RET}, you should consider switching to
! this function. @xref{Sample .emacs File}.
!
! @item @kbd{M-x c-context-open-line}
! @findex c-context-open-line
! @findex context-open-line (c-)
! This is to @kbd{C-o} (@kbd{M-x open-line}) as

! This lets you delete a contiguous block of whitespace with a single
! key - for example, the newline and indentation just inserted by

! @item subword mode
! This mode makes basic word movement commands like @kbd{M-f}
! (@code{forward-word}) and @kbd{M-b} (@code{backward-word}) treat the
! parts of sillycapsed symbols as different words.
! E.g. @samp{NSGraphicsContext} is treated as three words @samp{NS},
! @samp{Graphics}, and @samp{Context}.
! @item syntactic-indentation mode
! When this is enabled (which it normally is), indentation commands such
! as @kbd{C-j} indent lines of code according to their syntactic
! structure. Otherwise, a line is simply indented to the same level as
! the previous one and @address@hidden adjusts the indentation in steps
! of `c-basic-offset'.
! @end table
! Full details on how these minor modes work are at @ref{Electric Keys},
! @ref{Auto-newlines}, @ref{Hungry WS Deletion}, @ref{Subword Movement},

! are enabled but the other two modes are disabled.

! @ccmode{} displays the current state of the first four of these minor
! modes on the modeline by appending letters to the major mode's name,
! one letter for each enabled minor mode - @samp{l} for electric mode,
! @samp{a} for auto-newline mode, @samp{h} for hungry delete mode, and
! @samp{w} for subword mode. If all these modes were enabled, you'd see
! @samp{C/address@hidden @samp{C} would be replaced with the name of

! @kindex C-c C-l
! @findex c-toggle-electric-state
! @findex toggle-electric-state (c-)

! @kindex C-c C-a
! @findex c-toggle-auto-newline
! @findex toggle-auto-newline (c-)

@kindex C-d
! If you want to delete an entire block of whitespace at point, you can
! use @dfn{hungry deletion}. This deletes all the contiguous whitespace
! either before point or after point in a single operation.
! ``Whitespace'' here includes tabs and newlines, but not comments or
! preprocessor commands. Hungry deletion can markedly cut down on the
! number of times you have to hit deletion keys when, for example,
! you've made a mistake on the preceding line and have already pressed
! @kbd{C-j}.
!
! Hungry deletion is a simple feature that some people find extremely
! useful. In fact, you might find yourself wanting it in @strong{all}
! your editing modes!
!
! There are two different ways you can use hungry deletion:
! @table @asis
! @item Using @dfn{Hungry Delete Mode} with @address@hidden and @kbd{C-d}
! Here you toggle Hungry Delete minor mode with @kbd{M-x
! address@hidden to @ccmode{} 5.31, this command
! was bound to @kbd{C-c C-d}. @kbd{C-c C-d} is now the default binding
! for @code{c-hungry-delete-forward}.} (@pxref{Minor Modes}.) This
! makes @address@hidden and @kbd{C-d} do forward and backwards hungry
! deletion.
!
! @table @asis
! @item @address@hidden (@code{c-electric-backspace})
! @kindex DEL
! @findex c-electric-backspace
@findex electric-backspace (c-)
! This command is run by default when you hit the @kbd{DEL} key. When
! hungry delete mode is enabled, it deletes any amount of whitespace in
! the backwards direction. Otherwise, or when used with a prefix
! argument or in a literal (@pxref{Auto-newlines}), the command just
! deletes backwards in the usual way. (More precisely, it calls the
! function contained in the variable @code{c-backspace-function},
! passing it the prefix argument, if any.)
! @item @code{c-backspace-function}
! @vindex c-backspace-function
@vindex backspace-function (c-)
@findex backward-delete-char-untabify
Hook that gets called by @code{c-electric-backspace} when it doesn't
do an ``electric'' deletion of the preceding whitespace. The default
! value is @code{backward-delete-char-untabify}
! (@pxref{Deletion,,,@lispref{}, @lispreftitle{}}, the function which
! deletes a single character.
! @item @kbd{C-d} (@code{c-electric-delete-forward})
! @kindex C-d
! @findex c-electric-delete-forward
@findex electric-delete-forward (c-)
This function, which is bound to @kbd{C-d} by default, works just like
@code{c-electric-backspace} but in the forward direction. When it
doesn't do an ``electric'' deletion of the following whitespace, it
! just does @code{delete-char}, more or less. (Strictly speaking, it
! calls the function in @code{c-delete-function} with the prefix
! argument.)
! @item @code{c-delete-function}
! @vindex c-delete-function
@vindex delete-function (c-)
@findex delete-char
Hook that gets called by @code{c-electric-delete-forward} when it
doesn't do an ``electric'' deletion of the following whitespace. The
default value is @code{delete-char}.
! @end table
!
! @item Using Distinct Bindings
! The other (newer and recommended) way to use hungry deletion is to

! directly through their key sequences rather than using the minor mode
! toggling.

! @table @asis
! @item @kbd{C-c address@hidden, @kbd{C-c DEL}, or @kbd{C-c @key{Backspace}}

! @kindex C-c DEL
! @kindex C-c <backspace>
! @findex c-hungry-backspace
! @findex hungry-backspace (c-)
! Delete any amount of whitespace in the backwards direction (regardless
! whether hungry-delete mode is enabled or not). This command is bound
! to both @kbd{C-c address@hidden and @kbd{C-c @key{Backspace}},
! since the more natural one, @kbd{C-c address@hidden, is sometimes
! difficult to type at a character terminal.
!
! @item @kbd{C-c address@hidden, @kbd{C-c C-d}, or @kbd{C-c @key{Delete}}

! @kindex C-c C-<delete>
! @kindex C-c C-d

! @findex c-hungry-delete-forward

! Delete any amount of whitespace in the forward direction (regardless

! same reason as for @key{Backspace} above.

! @end table
!
! @kindex <delete>
! @kindex <backspace>
! When we talk about @kbd{DEL}, @kbd{C-d}, @key{Backspace} and
! @key{Delete} above, we actually do so without connecting them to the

! you are using.

@vindex delete-key-deletes-forward

XEmacs variable. When this variable is address@hidden,
@code{c-electric-delete} will do forward deletion with
@code{c-electric-delete-forward}, otherwise it does backward deletion
! with @code{c-electric-backspace}.
!
! In other Emacs versions, @ccmode{} doesn't bind either @key{Backspace}
! or @key{Delete}. In XEmacs 19 and Emacs prior to 21 that means that
! it's up to you to fix them. Emacs 21 automatically binds them as
! appropriate to @kbd{DEL} and @kbd{C-d}.
!
! Another way to use hungry deletion is to bind
! @code{c-hungry-backspace} and @code{c-hungry-delete-forward} directly
! to keys, and not use the mode toggling. For example @kbd{C-c C-d} and
! @kbd{C-c DEL} to match plain @kbd{C-d} and @kbd{DEL},
@example
! (add-hook
! 'c-mode-common-hook
! (lambda ()

! [?\C-c ?\d] 'c-hungry-backspace)

! If inside a comment and @code{comment-multi-line} is address@hidden, the

! is started on the next line and indented as appropriate for comments.
!
! Note that @ccmode{} sets @code{comment-multi-line} to @code{t} at

! of single line block comments for texts that should logically be treated
! as one comment, and the rest of the paragraph handling code
! (e.g., @kbd{M-q} and @kbd{M-a}) can't cope with that, which would lead to

!
! The code inside macro definitions is still analyzed syntactically so
! that you get relative indentation there just as you'd get if the same

! deletes any backslashes.
!
! The function does not modify blank lines at the start of the region. If
! the region ends at the start of a line, it always deletes the backslash
! (if any) at the end of the previous line.

! backslashes in multiline macros. They are used by the functions that
! automatically insert or align such backslashes,
! e.g., @code{c-backslash-region} and @code{c-context-line-break}.
!
! @code{c-backslash-column} specifies the minimum column for the
! backslashes. If any line in the macro exceeds it then the next tab
! stop from that line is used as the alignment column for all the
! backslashes, so that they remain in a single column. However, if some

! @comment !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!
! The font locking for most of the @ccmode{} languages were provided
! directly by the Font Lock package prior to version 5.30 of @ccmode{}.
! In the transition to @ccmode{} the patterns have been reworked
! completely and are applied uniformly across all the languages except AWK
! mode, just like the indentation rules (although each language still has
! some pecularities of its own, of course). Since the languages
! previously had completely separate font locking patterns, this means
! that it's a bit different in most languages now.
!
! The main goal for the font locking in @ccmode{} is accuracy, to provide
! a dependable aid in recognizing the various constructs. Some, like
! strings and comments, are easy to recognize while others like
! declarations and types can be very tricky. @ccmode{} can go to great
! lengths to recognize declarations and casts correctly, especially when
! the types aren't recognized by standard patterns. This is a fairly
! demanding analysis which can be slow on older hardware, and it can
! therefore be disabled by choosing a lower decoration level with the
! variable @code{font-lock-maximum-decoration}.
!
! @vindex font-lock-maximum-decoration
!
! The decoration levels are used as follows:
!
! @enumerate
! @comment 1
! @item
! Minimal font locking: Fontify only comments, strings and preprocessor
! directives (in the languages that use cpp).
@comment 2
@item
! Fast normal font locking: In addition to level 1, fontify keywords,
! simple types and declarations that are easy to recognize. The variables
@code{*-font-lock-extra-types} (where @samp{*} is the name of the
language) are used to recognize types (see below). Documentation
comments like Javadoc are fontified according to
! @code{c-doc-comment-style} (@pxref{Documentation Comments}).
Use this if you think the font locking is too slow. It's the closest
corresponding level to level 3 in the old font lock patterns.
@comment 3
@item
! Accurate normal font locking: Like level 2 but uses a different approach
! that can recognize types and declarations much more accurately. The
@code{*-font-lock-extra-types} variables are still used, but user
defined types are recognized correctly anyway in most cases. Therefore
those variables should be fairly restrictive and not contain patterns

XEmacs variable. When this variable is address@hidden,
@code{c-electric-delete} will do forward deletion with
@code{c-electric-delete-forward}, otherwise it does backward deletion
! with @code{c-electric-backspace}. Similarly, @kbd{C-c @key{Delete}}
! and @kbd{C-c address@hidden are bound to @code{c-hungry-delete} which
! is controlled in the same way by @code{delete-key-deletes-forward}.
!
! @findex normal-erase-is-backspace-mode
!
! Emacs 21 and later automatically binds @key{Backspace} and
! @key{Delete} to @kbd{DEL} and @kbd{C-d} according to your environment,
! and @ccmode{} extends those bindings to @kbd{C-c address@hidden
! etc. If you need to change the bindings through
! @code{normal-erase-is-backspace-mode} then @ccmode{} will also adapt
! its extended bindings accordingly.
!
! In earlier (X)Emacs versions, @ccmode{} doesn't bind either
! @key{Backspace} or @key{Delete} directly. Only the key codes
! @kbd{DEL} and @kbd{C-d} are bound, and it's up to the default bindings
! to map the physical keys to them. You might need to modify this
! yourself if the defaults are unsuitable.
!
! Getting your @key{Backspace} and @key{Delete} keys properly set up can
! sometimes be tricky. The information in @ref{DEL Does Not
! Delete,,,emacs, GNU Emacs Manual}, might be helpful if you're having
! trouble with this in GNU Emacs.

or @code{font-lock-reference-face}, for lack of a closer equivalent.

! The following list of commands reindent C constructs. Note that when
! you change your coding style, either interactively or through some other
! means, your file does @emph{not} automatically get reindented. You
! will need to execute one of the following commands to see the effects of
! your changes.
! @cindex GNU indent program
! Also, variables like @code{c-hanging-*} and @code{c-cleanup-list}
! only affect how on-the-fly code is formatted. Changing the
! ``hanginess'' of a brace and then reindenting, will not move the brace
! to a different line. For this, you're better off getting an external
! program like GNU @code{indent}, which will rearrange brace location,
! among other things.
! Reindenting large sections of code can take a long time. When
! @ccmode{} reindents a region of code, it is essentially equivalent to
! hitting @kbd{TAB} on every line of the region.
! These commands are useful when indenting code:
! @table @asis
! @item @kbd{TAB} (@code{c-indent-command})
! @kindex TAB
! @findex c-indent-command
! @findex indent-command (c-)
! Indents the current line. The actual behavior is controlled by several
! variables, described below. See @code{c-tab-always-indent},
! @code{c-insert-tab-function}, and @code{indent-tabs-mode}. With a
! numeric argument, this command rigidly indents the region, preserving
! the relative indentation among the lines.
! @item @kbd{C-M-q} (@code{c-indent-exp})
! @kindex C-M-q
! @findex c-indent-exp
! @findex indent-exp (c-)
! Indent an entire balanced brace or parenthesis expression. Note that
! point must be on the opening brace or parenthesis of the expression you
! want to indent.
- @item @kbd{C-c C-q} (@code{c-indent-defun})
- @kindex C-c C-q
- @findex c-indent-defun
- @findex indent-defun (c-)
- Indents the entire top-level function, class or macro definition
- encompassing point. It leaves point unchanged. This function can't be
- used to reindent a nested brace construct, such as a nested class or
- function, or a Java method. The top-level construct being reindented
- must be complete, i.e., it must have both a beginning brace and an ending
- brace.
! @item @kbd{C-M-\} (@code{indent-region})
! @kindex C-M-\
! @findex indent-region
! Indents an arbitrary region of code. This is a standard Emacs command,
! tailored for C code in a @ccmode{} buffer. Note, of course, that point
! and mark must delineate the region you want to indent.
! @item @kbd{M-;} (@code{indent-for-comment})
! @kindex M-;
! @findex indent-for-comment
! Insert a comment at the end of the current line, if none is there already.
! Then reindent the comment according to the variables
! @code{c-indent-comment-alist}, @code{c-indent-comments-syntactically-p}
! and @code{comment-column}. Then position the point after the comment
! starter. This is a standard Emacs command, but @ccmode{} enhances it a
! bit with two variables:
! @defopt c-indent-comment-alist
! @vindex indent-comment-alist (c-)
! @vindex comment-column
! This style variable allows you to control which column @kbd{M-;}
! indents the comment to, depending on the preceding code and the
! indentation of a similar comment on the preceding line, if there is
! any. It is an association list that maps different types of lines to
! actions describing how they should be handled. If a certain line type
! isn't present on the list then the line is indented to the column
! specified by @code{comment-column}. See the documentation string for
! @code{c-indent-comment-alist} for a full description of the available
! line types and actions (use @kbd{C-h v c-indent-comment-alist}).
! @end defopt
! @defopt c-indent-comments-syntactically-p
! @vindex indent-comments-syntactically-p (c-)
! Normally, when this variable is @code{nil}, @kbd{M-;} will indent
! comment-only lines according to @code{c-indent-comment-alist}, just as
! it does with lines where other code precede the comments. However, if
! you want it to act just like @kbd{TAB} for comment-only lines you can
! get that by setting @code{c-indent-comments-syntactically-p} to
! address@hidden
! If @code{c-indent-comments-syntactically-p} is address@hidden then
! @code{c-indent-comment-alist} won't be consulted at all for comment-only
! lines.
! @end defopt
! @item @kbd{C-M-h} (@code{c-mark-function})
! @kindex C-M-h
! @findex c-mark-function
! @findex mark-function (c-)
! While not strictly an indentation command, this is useful for marking
! the current top-level function or class definition as the current
! region. As with @code{c-indent-defun}, this command operates on
! top-level constructs, and can't be used to mark say, a Java method.
! @end table
! These variables are also useful when indenting code:
! @defopt c-tab-always-indent
! @vindex tab-always-indent (c-)
! @kindex TAB
! @cindex literal
! This variable controls how @kbd{TAB} (@code{c-indent-command})
! operates. When it is @code{t}, @kbd{TAB} always indents the current
! line. When it is @code{nil}, the line is indented only if point is at
! the left margin, or on or before the first non-whitespace character on
! the line, otherwise some whitespace is inserted. If this variable is
! some other value (not @code{nil} or @code{t}), then some whitespace is
! inserted only within strings and comments (literals), but the line is
! always reindented.
! @end defopt
! @defopt c-insert-tab-function
! @vindex insert-tab-function (c-)
! @findex tab-to-tab-stop
! When ``some whitespace'' is inserted as described above, what actually
! happens is that the function stored in @code{c-insert-tab-function} is
! called. Normally, this just inserts a real tab character, or the
! equivalent number of spaces, depending on @code{indent-tabs-mode}.
! Some people, however, set @code{c-insert-tab-function} to
! @code{tab-to-tab-stop} so as to get hard tab stops when indenting.
! @end defopt
! @defopt indent-tabs-mode
! This is a standard Emacs variable that controls how line indentation
! is composed. When it's address@hidden, tabs can be used in a line's
! indentation, otherwise only spaces can be used.
! @end defopt
! @defopt c-progress-interval
! @vindex progress-interval (c-)
! When indenting large regions of code, this variable controls how often a
! progress message is displayed. Set this variable to @code{nil} to
! inhibit the progress messages, or set it to an integer which is how
! often (in seconds) progress messages are to be displayed.

! The context sensitive indentation is mainly controlled by the variable
! @code{c-offsets-alist}:
! @defopt c-offsets-alist
! @vindex offsets-alist (c-)
! This special style variable contains the mappings between syntactic
! symbols and the offsets to apply for those symbols. It's set at mode
! initialization from a @emph{style} you may specify. Styles are
! groupings of syntactic symbol offsets and other style variable values.
! Most likely, you'll find that one of the predefined styles will suit
! your needs. @xref{Styles}, for an explanation of how to set up named
! styles.
!
! Only syntactic symbols not already bound on @code{c-offsets-alist} will
! be set from styles. This means that any association you set on it, be
! it before or after mode initialization, will not be changed. The
! @code{c-offsets-alist} variable may therefore be used from e.g., the
! Customization address@hidden in Emacs 20 and later, and
! XEmacs 19.15 and later.} to easily change indentation offsets without
! having to bother about styles. Initially @code{c-offsets-alist} is
! empty, so that all syntactic symbols are set by the style system.
!
! The offset associated with any particular syntactic symbol can be an
! integer, a function or lambda expression, a variable name, a vector, a
! list, or one of the following special symbols: @code{+}, @code{-},
! @code{++}, @code{--}, @code{*}, or @code{/}. The meaning of these
! values are described in detail below.
! @end defopt
! The special symbols describe an offset in multiples of the value of
! @code{c-basic-offset}:
! @defopt c-basic-offset
! @vindex basic-offset (c-)
! Style variable that holds the basic offset between indentation levels.
! @end defopt
! By defining a style's indentation in terms of @code{c-basic-offset},
! you can change the amount of whitespace given to an indentation level
! while maintaining the same basic shape of your code. Here are the
! values that the special symbols correspond to:
! @table @code
! @item +
! @code{c-basic-offset} times 1
! @item -
! @code{c-basic-offset} times -1
! @item ++
! @code{c-basic-offset} times 2
! @item --
! @code{c-basic-offset} times -2
! @item *
! @code{c-basic-offset} times 0.5
! @item /
! @code{c-basic-offset} times -0.5
! @end table
! @cindex indentation functions
! When a function is used as offset, it's called an @dfn{indentation
! function}. Such functions are useful when more context than just the
! syntactic symbol is needed to get the desired indentation.
! @xref{Indentation Functions}, and @ref{Custom Indentation Functions},
! for details about them.
!
! If the offset is a vector, its first element sets the absolute
! indentation column, which will override any previous relative
! indentation. It won't override additional relative indentation for
! nested constructs, though.
! @vindex c-strict-syntax-p
! @vindex strict-syntax-p (c-)
! The offset can also be a list, in which case it is evaluated recursively
! using the semantics described above. The first element of the list that
! returns a address@hidden value succeeds and the evaluation stops. If
! none of the list elements return a address@hidden value, then an offset
! of 0 (zero) is address@hidden is however a variable
! @code{c-strict-syntax-p} that, when set to address@hidden, will cause an
! error to be signaled in that case. It's now considered obsolete since
! it doesn't work well with some of the alignment functions that now
! returns @code{nil} instead of zero to be more usable in lists. You
! should therefore leave @code{c-strict-syntax-p} set to @code{nil}.}.
! So, for example, because most of the default offsets are defined in
! terms of @code{+}, @code{-}, and @code{0}, if you like the general
! indentation style, but you use 4 spaces instead of 2 spaces per level,
! you can probably achieve your style just by changing
! @code{c-basic-offset} like address@hidden can try this interactively in
! a C buffer by typing the text that appears in italics.}:
! @example
! @emph{M-x set-variable RET}
! Set variable: @emph{c-basic-offset RET}
! Set c-basic-offset to value: @emph{4 RET}
! @end example
!
! @noindent
! This would change
!
! @example
! @group
! int add( int val, int incr, int doit )
! @{
! if( doit )
! @{
! return( val + incr );

! return( val );

! @end example
! To change indentation styles more radically, you will want to change the

! In other words, we want to change the indentation of braces that open a
! block following a condition so that the braces line up under the
! conditional, instead of being indented. Notice that the construct we
! want to change starts on line 4. To change the indentation of a line,
! we need to see which syntactic components affect the offset calculations
! for that line. Hitting @kbd{C-c C-s} on line 4 yields:
! @example
! ((substatement-open 44))
! @end example
! @noindent
! so we know that to change the offset of the open brace, we need to
! change the indentation for the @code{substatement-open} syntactic
! symbol.
! To do this interactively, just hit @kbd{C-c C-o}. This prompts
! you for the syntactic symbol to change, providing a reasonable default.
! In this case, the default is @code{substatement-open}, which is just the
! syntactic symbol we want to change!
! After you hit return, @ccmode{} will then prompt you for the new
! offset value, with the old value as the default. The default in this
! case is @samp{+}, but we want no extra indentation so enter
! @samp{0} and @kbd{RET}. This will associate the offset 0 with the
! syntactic symbol @code{substatement-open}.
! To check your changes quickly, just hit @kbd{C-c C-q}
! (@code{c-indent-defun}) to reindent the entire function. The example
! should now look like:
! @example
! @group
! 1: int add( int val, int incr, int doit )
! 2: @{
! 3: if( doit )
! 4: @{
! 5: return( val + incr );
! 6: @}
! 7: return( val );
! 8: @}
! @end group
! @end example
! Notice how just changing the open brace offset on line 4 is all we
! needed to do. Since the other affected lines are indented relative to
! line 4, they are automatically indented the way you'd expect. For more
! complicated examples, this may not always work. The general approach to
! take is to always start adjusting offsets for lines higher up in the
! file, then reindent and see if any following lines need further
! adjustments.
! @deffn Command c-set-offset symbol offset
! @findex set-offset (c-)
! @kindex C-c C-o
! This is the command bound to @kbd{C-c C-o}. It provides a convenient
! way to set offsets on @code{c-offsets-alist} both interactively (see
! the example above) and from your mode hook.
! It takes two arguments when used programmatically: @var{symbol} is the
! syntactic element symbol to change and @var{offset} is the new offset
! for that syntactic element.

! To make your changes permanent, you need to add some lisp code to your
! @file{.emacs} file. @ccmode{} supports many different ways to be
! configured, from the straightforward way by setting variables globally
! in @file{.emacs} or in the Customization interface, to the complex and
! precisely controlled way by using styles and hook functions.
!
! The simplest way of customizing @ccmode{} permanently is to set the
! variables in your @file{.emacs} with @code{setq} and similar commands.
! So to make a permanent setting of @code{substatement-open} to 0, add
! this to the @file{.emacs} file:
@example
! @group
! (setq c-offsets-alist
! '((substatement-open . 0)))
! @end group
@end example
! When @ccmode{} initializes a buffer, it will fill out
! @code{c-offsets-alist} with the remaining syntactic symbols according to
! the style system.
!
! You can also use the more user friendly Customization interface, but
! this manual does not cover how that works.
!
! Variables set like this at the top level in @file{.emacs} take effect in
! all @ccmode{} buffers, regardless of language. The indentation style
! related variables, e.g., @code{c-offsets-alist}, that you don't set this
! way get their value from the style system (@pxref{Styles}), and they
! therefore depend on the setting of @code{c-default-style}. Note that if
! you use Customize, this means that the greyed-out default values
! presented there might not be the ones you actually get, since the actual
! values depend on the style, which may very well be different for
! different languages.
!
! If you want to make more advanced configurations, e.g., language-specific
! customization, setting global variables isn't enough. For that you can
! use the language hooks, see @ref{Hooks}, and/or the style system, see
! @ref{Styles}.
!
! @defopt c-style-variables-are-local-p
! @vindex style-variables-are-local-p (c-)
! By default, all style variables are buffer local, so that different
! buffers can have different style settings. If you only use one style
! in all the files you edit you might want to share them between buffers
! so that a change take effect in all buffers. That's done by setting
! this variable to @code{nil}. The value takes effect when @ccmode{} is
! activated in a buffer for the first time in the Emacs session, so you
! typically set it in your @file{.emacs} file and then restart Emacs.

! @ccmode{} provides several hooks that you can use to customize the mode
! according to your coding style. Each language mode has its own hook,
! adhering to standard Emacs major mode conventions. There is also one
! general hook and one package initialization hook:
! @defvar c-initialization-hook
! @vindex initialization-hook (c-)
! Hook run only once per Emacs session, when @ccmode{} is initialized.

! The language specific mode hooks. The appropriate one is run as the
! last thing when you enter that language mode.
@end defvar
! Note that all the language-specific mode setup that CC Mode does is done
! prior to both @code{c-mode-common-hook} and the language specific hook.
! That includes installing the indentation style, which can be mode
! specific (and also is by default for Java mode). Thus, any style
! settings done in @code{c-mode-common-hook} will override whatever
! language-specific style is chosen by @code{c-default-style}.

! Here's a simplified example of what you can add to your @file{.emacs}

! Most people only need to edit code formatted in just a few well-defined
! and consistent styles. For example, their organization might impose a
! ``blessed'' style that all its programmers must conform to. Similarly,
! people who work on GNU software will have to use the GNU coding style.
! Some shops are more lenient, allowing a variety of coding styles, and as
! programmers come and go, there could be a number of styles in use. For
! this reason, @ccmode{} makes it convenient for you to set up logical
! groupings of customizations called @dfn{styles}, associate a single name
! for any particular style, and pretty easily start editing new or
! existing code using these styles.
!
! @cindex style variables
! The variables that the style system affect are called @dfn{style
! variables}. They are handled specially in several ways:
! @itemize @bullet
! @item
! Style variables are by default buffer local variables. However, they
! can instead be made global by setting
! @code{c-style-variables-are-local-p} to @code{nil} before @ccmode{} is
! initialized.
! @item
! @vindex c-old-style-variable-behavior
! @vindex old-style-variable-behavior (c-)
! The default value of any style variable (with two exceptions --- see
! below) is the special symbol @code{set-from-style}. Variables that are
! still set to that symbol when a @ccmode{} buffer is initialized will be
! set according to the current style, otherwise they will keep their
! current address@hidden is a big change from versions of @ccmode{}
! earlier than 5.26, where such settings would get overridden by the style
! system unless special precautions were taken. That was changed since it
! was counterintuitive and confusing, especially to novice users. If your
! configuration depends on the old overriding behavior, you can set the
! variable @code{c-old-style-variable-behavior} to address@hidden
!
! Note that when we talk about the ``default value'' for a style variable,
! we don't mean the @code{set-from-style} symbol that all style variables
! are set to initially, but instead the value it will get at mode
! initialization when neither a style nor a global setting has set its
! value.
!
! The style variable @code{c-offsets-alist} is handled a little
! differently from the other style variables. It's an association list,
! and is thus by default set to the empty list, @code{nil}. When the
! style system is initialized, any syntactic symbols already on it are
! kept --- only the missing ones are filled in from the chosen style.
! The style variable @code{c-special-indent-hook} is also handled in a
! special way. Styles may only add more functions on this hook, so the
! global settings on it are always address@hidden did not change
! in version 5.26.}.
! @item
! The global settings of style variables get captured in the special
! @code{user} style, which is used as the base for all the other styles.
! @xref{Built-in Styles}, for details.
! @end itemize
! The style variables are:
! @code{c-basic-offset},
! @code{c-comment-only-line-offset},
! @code{c-block-comment-prefix},
! @code{c-comment-prefix-regexp},
! @code{c-cleanup-list},

! If none of the built-in styles is appropriate, you'll probably want to
! create a new @dfn{style definition}, possibly based on an existing
! style. To do this, put the new style's settings into a list with the

!
! @cindex style definition
! @defvr {List} style definition
! (address@hidden [(@var{variable} . @var{value}) @dots{}])
!
! Optional @var{base-style}, if present, must be a string which is the

! one @var{base-style} is allowed in a style definition. If
! @var{base-style} is not specified, the style inherits from a table of
! default address@hidden table is stored internally in the
! variable c-fallback-style. It is computed during the initialisation
! of @ccmode{} from the factory defaults of the style variables and any
! global values they may have been given since starting Emacs.} instead.
! All styles eventually inherit from this internal table. Style loops
! generate errors. The list of pre-existing styles can be seen in
! @ref{Built-in Styles}.
!
! The dotted pairs (@var{variable} . @var{value}) each consist of a
! variable and the value it is to be set to when the style is later
! address@hidden certain circumstances, this value can get
! overridden by another value.} The variable can be either a @ccmode{}
! style variable or an arbitrary Emacs variable. In the latter case, it
! is @emph{not} made buffer local by the @ccmode{} style system.
! @end defvr
!
! Two variables are treated specially in the dotted pair list:
!
! @table @code
! @item c-offsets-alist
! The value is in turn a dotted list on the form
!
! (@var{syntactic-symbol} . @var{offset})
!
! as described in @ref{Customizing Indentation}. These are passed to
! @code{c-set-offset} so there is no need to set every syntactic symbol in
! your style, only those that are different from the inherited style.
!
! @item c-special-indent-hook
! The value is added to @code{c-special-indent-hook} using
! @code{add-hook}, so any functions already on it are kept. If the value
! is a list, each element of the list is added with @code{add-hook}.
! @end table
!
! Styles are kept in the @code{c-style-alist} variable, but you
! should never modify this variable directly. Instead, @ccmode{}
! provides the function @code{c-add-style} for this purpose.
!
! @defun c-add-style stylename description &optional set-p
! @findex add-style (c-)
! Add or update a style called @var{stylename}, a string.

! @subsection Custom Indentation Functions
! @cindex customization, indentation functions
! @comment !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
! The most flexible way to customize @ccmode{} is by writing custom
! indentation functions, and associating them with specific syntactic
! symbols (@pxref{Syntactic Symbols}). @ccmode{} itself uses indentation
! functions to provide more sophisticated indentation, for example when
! lining up C++ stream operator blocks:
! @example
! @group
! 1: void main(int argc, char**)
! 2: @{
! 3: cout << "There were "
! 4: << argc
! 5: << "arguments passed to the program"
! 6: << endl;
! 7: @}
! @end group
! @end example
! In this example, lines 4 through 6 are assigned the @code{stream-op}
! syntactic symbol. Here, @code{stream-op} has an offset of @code{+}, and
! with a @code{c-basic-offset} of 2, you can see that lines 4 through 6
! are simply indented two spaces to the right of line 3. But perhaps we'd
! like @ccmode{} to be a little more intelligent so that it aligns
! all the @samp{<<} symbols in lines 3 through 6. To do this, we have
! to write a custom indentation function which finds the column of the first
! stream operator on the first line of the statement. Here is sample
! lisp code implementing this:
@example
! (defun c-lineup-streamop (langelem)
! (save-excursion
! (goto-char (cdr langelem))
! (re-search-forward "<<\\|>>" (c-point 'eol) 'move)
! (goto-char (match-beginning 0))
! (vector (current-column))))
@end example
! Indentation functions take a single argument, which is a syntactic
! component cons cell (@pxref{Syntactic Analysis}). The function can
! return an integer which is added to the running total indentation for
! the line, or a vector containing an integer which is an absolute
! column to align to. Usually an absolute column is wanted when
! aligning to existing text, as in this example.
!
! The function should return @code{nil} if it's used in a situation where
! it doesn't want to make any decision. If the function is used in a list
! expression (@pxref{Customizing Indentation}), that will cause @ccmode{}
! to go on and check the next entry in the list.
!
! Now, to associate the function @code{c-lineup-streamop} with the
! @code{stream-op} syntactic symbol, we can add something like the
! following to our @address@hidden probably makes more
! sense to add this to @code{c++-mode-hook} than @code{c-mode-common-hook}
! since stream operators are only relevant for C++.}:
! @example
! (c-set-offset 'stream-op 'c-lineup-streamop)
! @end example
! Now the function looks like this after reindenting (using @kbd{C-c
! C-q}):
@example
! @group
! 1: void main(int argc, char**)
! 2: @{
! 3: cout << "There were "
! 4: << argc
! 5: << " arguments passed to the program"
! 6: << endl;
! 7: @}
! @end group
@end example
! Custom indentation functions can be as simple or as complex as you like,
! and any syntactic symbol that appears in @code{c-offsets-alist} can have
! a custom indentation function associated with it.
!
! @ccmode{} comes with an extensive set of predefined indentation
! functions, not all of which are used by the default styles. So there's
! a good chance the function you want already exists. @xref{Indentation
! Functions}, for a list of them. If you have written an indentation
! function that you think is generally useful, you're very welcome to
! contribute it; please contact @email{bug-cc-mode@@gnu.org}.

Syntactic symbols aren't the only place where you can customize
! @ccmode{} with the lisp equivalent of callback functions. Brace
! ``hanginess'' can also be determined by custom functions associated with
! syntactic symbols on the @code{c-hanging-braces-alist} style variable.
! Remember that @var{action}'s are typically a list containing some
! combination of the symbols @code{before} and @code{after}
! (@pxref{Hanging Braces}). However, an @var{action} can also be a
! function which gets called when a brace matching that syntactic symbol
! is entered.
@cindex customization, brace hanging
! These @var{action} functions are called with two arguments: the
! syntactic symbol for the brace, and the buffer position at which the
! brace was inserted. The @var{action} function is expected to return a
! list containing some combination of @code{before} and @code{after},
! including neither of them (i.e., @code{nil}). This return value has the
! normal brace hanging semantics.
As an example, @ccmode{} itself uses this feature to dynamically
determine the hanginess of braces which close ``do-while''

! @cindex Emacs Initiliazation File
! @cindex Configuration
! You configure @ccmode{} by setting Lisp variables and calling (and
! perhaps writing) Lisp address@hidden'T PANIC!!! This isn't
! difficult.}, which is usually done by adding code to an Emacs
! initialization file. This file might be @file{site-start.el} or
! @file{.emacs} or @file{init.el} or @file{default.el} or perhaps some
! other file. @xref{Init File,,,@emacsman{}, @emacsmantitle{}}. For
! the sake of conciseness, we just call this file ``your @file{.emacs}''
! throughout the rest of the manual.
!
! Several of these variables (currently 16), are known collectively as
! @dfn{style variables}. @ccmode{} provides a special mechanism, known
! as @dfn{styles} to make it easier to set these variables as a group,
! to ``inherit'' settings from one style into another, and so on. Style
! variables remain ordinary Lisp variables, whose values can be read and
! changed independently of the style system. @xref{Style Variables}.
!
! There are several ways you can write the code, depending on the
! precise effect you want---they are described further down on this page.
! If you are new to @ccmode{}, we suggest you begin with the simplest
! method, ``Top-level commands or the customization interface''.
!
! If you make conflicting settings in several of these ways, the way
! that takes precedence is the one that appears latest in this list:
! @itemize @asis
! @item
! @table @asis
! @item Style
! @itemx Top-level command or ``customization interface''
! @itemx Hook
! @itemx File Style
! @end table
! @end itemize
! Here is a summary of the different ways of writing your configuration
! settings:
! @table @asis
! @item Top-level commands or the ``customization interface''
! Most simply, you can write @code{setq} and similar commands at the top
! level of your @file{.emacs} file. When you load a @ccmode{} buffer,
! it initializes its configuration from these global values (at least,
! for those settings you have given values to), so it makes sense to
! have these @code{setq} commands run @emph{before} @ccmode{} is first
! initialized---in particular, before any call to @code{desktop-read}
! (@pxref{Saving Emacs Sessions,,, emacs, GNU Emacs Manual}). For
! example, you might set c-basic-offset thus:
! @example
! (setq c-basic-offset 4)
! @end example
! You can use the more user friendly Customization interface instead,
! but this manual does not cover in detail how that works. To do this,
! start by typing @kbd{M-x customize-group @key{RET} c @key{RET}}.
! @xref{Easy Customization,,,@emacsman{}, @emacsmantitle{}}.
! @c The following note really belongs in the Emacs manual.
! Emacs normally writes the customizations at the end of your
! @file{.emacs} file. If you use @code{desktop-read}, you should edit
! your @file{.emacs} to place the call to @code{desktop-read} @emph{after}
! the customizations.
! The first initialization of @ccmode{} puts a snapshot of the
! configuration settings into the special style @code{user}.
! @xref{Built-in Styles}.
! For basic use of Emacs, either of these ways of configuring is
! adequate. However, the settings are then the same in all @ccmode{}
! buffers and it can be clumsy to communicate them between programmers.
! For more flexibility, you'll want to use one (or both) of @ccmode{}'s
! more sophisticated facilities, hooks and styles.
! @item Hooks
! An Emacs @dfn{hook} is a place to put Lisp functions that you want
! Emacs to execute later in specific circumstances.
! @xref{Hooks,,,@lispref{}, @lispreftitle{}}. @ccmode{} supplies a main
! hook and a language-specific hook for each language it supports - any
! functions you put onto these hooks get executed as the last part of a
! buffer's initialization. Typically you put most of your customization
! within the main hook, and use the language-specific hooks to vary the
! customization settings between language modes. For example, if you
! wanted different (non-standard) values of @code{c-basic-offset} in C
! Mode and Java Mode buffers, you could do it like this:
! @example
! @group
! (defun my-c-mode-hook ()
! (setq c-basic-offset 3))
! (add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'my-c-mode-hook)
! (defun my-java-mode-hook ()
! (setq c-basic-offset 6))
! (add-hook 'java-mode-hook 'my-java-mode-hook)
! @end group
! @end example
+ See @ref{CC Hooks} for more details on the use of @ccmode{} hooks.
! @item Styles
! A @ccmode{} @dfn{style} is a coherent collection of customizations
! with a name. At any time, exactly one style is active in each
! @ccmode{} buffer, either the one you have selected or a default.
! @ccmode{} is delivered with several existing styles. Additionally,
! you can create your own styles, possibly based on these existing
! styles. If you worked in a programming team called the ``Free
! Group'', which had its own coding standards, you might well have this
! in your @file{.emacs} file:
! @example
! (setq c-default-style '((java-mode . "java")
! (awk-mode . "awk")
! (other . "free-group-style")))
! @end example
! See @ref{Styles} for fuller details on using @ccmode{} styles and how
! to create them.
! @item File Styles
! A @dfn{file style} is a rarely used variant of the ``style'' mechanism
! described above, which applies to an individual source file. To use
! it, you set certain Emacs local variables in a special block at the
! end of the source file. @xref{File Styles}.
! @item Hooks with Styles
! For ultimate flexibility, you can use hooks and styles together. For
! example, if your team were developing a product which required a
! Linux driver, you'd probably want to use the ``linux'' style for the
! driver, and your own team's style for the rest of the code. You
! could achieve this with code like this in your @file{.emacs}:
! @example
! @group
! (defun my-c-mode-hook ()
! (c-set-style
! (if (and (buffer-file-name)
! (string-match "/usr/src/linux" (buffer-file-name)))
! "linux"
! "free-group-style")))
! (add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'my-c-mode-hook)
! @end group
! @end example
! In a programming team, a hook is a also a good place for each member
! to put his own personal preferences. For example, you might be the
! only person in your team who likes Auto-newline minor mode. You could
! have it enabled by default by placing the following in your
! @file{.emacs}:
! @example
! @group
! (defun my-turn-on-auto-newline ()
! (c-toggle-auto-newline 1))
! (add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook 'my-turn-on-auto-newline)
! @end group

! @c The node name is "CC Hooks" rather than "Hooks" because of a bug in

! @c If you go to "Config Basics" and hit <CR> on the xref to "CC
! @c Hooks" the function Info-follow-reference searches for "*Note: CC
! @c Hooks" from the beginning of the page. If this node were instead
! @c named "Hooks", that search would spuriously find "*Note:
! @c Hooks(elisp)" and go to the wrong node.
!
! @ccmode{} provides several hooks that you can use to customize the
! mode for your coding style. The main hook is
! @code{c-mode-common-hook}; typically, you'll put the bulk of your
! customizations here. In addition, each language mode has its own
! hook, allowing you to fine tune your settings individually for the
! different @ccmode{} languages, and there is a package initialization
! hook. Finally, there is @code{c-special-indent-hook}, which enables
! you to solve anomalous indentation problems. It is described in
! @ref{Other Indentation}, not here. All these hooks adhere to the
! standard Emacs conventions.
!
! When you open a buffer, @ccmode{} first initializes it with the
! currently active style (@pxref{Styles}). Then it calls
! @code{c-mode-common-hook}, and finally it calls the language-specific
! hook. Thus, any style settings done in these hooks will override
! those set by @code{c-default-style}.
! @defvar c-initialization-hook
! @vindex initialization-hook (c-)
! Hook run only once per Emacs session, when @ccmode{} is initialized.
! This is a good place to change key bindings (or add new ones) in any
! of the @ccmode{} key maps. @xref{Sample .emacs File}.
! @end defvar
! @defvar c-mode-common-hook
! @vindex mode-common-hook (c-)
! Common hook across all languages. It's run immediately before the

! The language specific mode hooks. The appropriate one is run as the

! @end defvar
! Although these hooks are variables defined in @ccmode{}, you can give
! them values before @ccmode{}'s code is loaded - indeed, this is the
! only way to use @code{c-initialization-hook}. Their values aren't
! overwritten when @ccmode{} gets loaded.
! Here's a simplified example of what you can add to your @file{.emacs}

! @cindex style variables
! The variables that @ccmode{}'s style system control are called
! @dfn{style variables}. Note that style variables are ordinary Lisp
! variables, which the style system initializes; you can change their
! values at any time (e.g. in a hook function). The style system can
! also also set other variables, to some extent. @xref{Styles}.
! @dfn{Style variables} are handled specially in several ways:
! @itemize @bullet
! @item
! Style variables are by default buffer-local variables. However, they
! can instead be made global by setting
! @code{c-style-variables-are-local-p} to @code{nil} before @ccmode{} is
! initialized.
! @item
! @vindex c-old-style-variable-behavior
! @vindex old-style-variable-behavior (c-)
! The default global binding of any style variable (with two exceptions
! - see below) is the special symbol @code{set-from-style}. When the
! style system initializes a buffer-local copy of a style variable for a
! @ccmode{} buffer, if its global binding is still that symbol then it
! will be set from the current style. Otherwise it will retain its
! global address@hidden is a big change from versions of
! @ccmode{} earlier than 5.26, where such settings would get overridden
! by the style system unless special precautions were taken. That was
! changed since it was counterintuitive and confusing, especially to
! novice users. If your configuration depends on the old overriding
! behavior, you can set the variable
! @code{c-old-style-variable-behavior} to address@hidden This
! ``otherwise'' happens, for example, when you've set the variable with
! @code{setq} at the top level of your @file{.emacs} (@pxref{Config
! Basics}).
!
! @item
! The style variable @code{c-offsets-alist} (@pxref{c-offsets-alist}) is
! an association list with an element for each syntactic symbol. It's
! handled a little differently from the other style variables. It's
! default global binding is the empty list @code{nil}, rather than
! @code{set-from-style}. Before the style system is initialized, you
! can add individual elements to @code{c-offsets-alist} by calling
! @code{c-set-offset}(@pxref{c-offsets-alist}) just like you would set
! other style variables with @code{setq}. Those elements will then
! prevail when the style system later initializes a buffer-local copy of
! @code{c-offsets-alist}.
!
! @item
! The style variable @code{c-special-indent-hook} is also handled in a
! special way. Styles can only add functions to this hook, not remove
! them, so any global settings you put on it are always
! address@hidden did not change in version 5.26.}. The value
! you give this variable in a style definition can be either a function
! or a list of functions.
!
! @item
! The global bindings of the style variables get captured in the special
! @code{user} style when the style system is first initialized.
! @xref{Built-in Styles}, for details.

! Most people only need to edit code formatted in just a few well-defined
! and consistent styles. For example, their organization might impose a
! ``blessed'' style that all its programmers must conform to. Similarly,
! people who work on GNU software will have to use the GNU coding style.
! Some shops are more lenient, allowing a variety of coding styles, and as
! programmers come and go, there could be a number of styles in use. For
! this reason, @ccmode{} makes it convenient for you to set up logical
! groupings of customizations called @dfn{styles}, associate a single name
! for any particular style, and pretty easily start editing new or

! If none of the built-in styles is appropriate, you'll probably want to
! create a new @dfn{style definition}, possibly based on an existing
! style. To do this, put the new style's settings into a list with the
! following format - the list can then be passed as an argument to the
! function @code{c-add-style}. You can see an example of a style
! definition in @ref{Sample .emacs File}.
!
! @cindex style definition
! @c @defvr {List} style definition
! @table @asis
! @item Structure of a Style Definition List
! (address@hidden [(@var{variable} . @var{value}) @dots{}])
!
! Optional @var{base-style}, if present, must be a string which is the
! name of the @dfn{base style} from which this style inherits. At most
! one @var{base-style} is allowed in a style definition. If
! @var{base-style} is not specified, the style inherits from the table
! of factory default address@hidden table is stored internally in
! the variable c-fallback-style.} instead. All styles eventually
! inherit from this internal table. Style loops generate errors. The
! list of pre-existing styles can be seen in @ref{Built-in Styles}.
!
! The dotted pairs (@var{variable} . @var{value}) each consist of a
! variable and the value it is to be set to when the style is later
! address@hidden that if the variable has been given a value
! by the Customization interface or a @code{setq} at the top level of
! your @file{.emacs}, this value will override the one the style system
! tries to give it. @xref{Config Basics}.} The variable can be either a
! @ccmode{} style variable or an arbitrary Emacs variable. In the
! latter case, it is @emph{not} made buffer-local by the @ccmode{} style
! system.
! @c @end defvr
!
! Two variables are treated specially in the dotted pair list:

! @item c-offsets-alist
! The value is in turn a list of dotted pairs of the form
@example
! (@address@hidden . @address@hidden)
@end example
! as described in @ref{c-offsets-alist}. These are passed to
! @code{c-set-offset} so there is no need to set every syntactic symbol
! in your style, only those that are different from the inherited style.
!
! @item c-special-indent-hook
! The value is added to @code{c-special-indent-hook} using
! @code{add-hook}, so any functions already on it are kept. If the value
! is a list, each element of the list is added with @code{add-hook}.
! @end table
! @end table
!
! Styles are kept in the @code{c-style-alist} variable, but you
! should never modify this variable directly. Instead, @ccmode{}
! provides the function @code{c-add-style} for this purpose.
!
! @defun c-add-style stylename description &optional set-p
! @findex add-style (c-)
! Add or update a style called @var{stylename}, a string.
! @var{description} is the new style definition in the form described

! total. The old style is @emph{not} merged into the new one.)
! Otherwise, a new style is added.
!
! If the optional @var{set-p} is address@hidden then the new style is
! applied to the current buffer as well. The use of this facility is
! deprecated and it might be removed from @ccmode{} in a future release.
! You should use @code{c-set-style} instead.

+ desirable to have explicit control over newlines. In preprocessor
+ directives, the necessary @samp{\} escape character before the newline
+ is not automatically inserted, so an automatic line break would
+ produce invalid code. In normal code, line breaks are normally
+ dictated by some logical structure in the code rather than the last

+ @vindex comment-multi-line

+
+ Note that @ccmode{} sets @code{comment-multi-line} to @code{t} at

! @ccmode{} determines whether to insert auto-newlines in two basically
! different ways, depending on the character just typed:
! @table @asis
! @item Braces and Colons
! @ccmode{} first determines the syntactic context of the brace or colon
! (@pxref{Syntactic Symbols}), then looks for a corresponding element in
! an alist. This element specifies where to put newlines - this is any
! combination of before and after the brace or colon. If no alist
! element is found, newlines are inserted both before and after a brace,
! but none are inserted around a colon. See @ref{Hanging Braces} and
! @ref{Hanging Colons}.
!
! @item Semicolons and Commas
! The variable @code{c-hanging-semi&comma-criteria} contains a list of
! functions which determine whether to insert a newline after a newly
! typed semicolon or comma. @xref{Hanging Semicolons and Commas}.
! @end table
!
! The names of these configuration variables contain @samp{hanging}
! because they let you @dfn{hang} the pertinent characters. A character
! which introduces a C construct is said to @dfn{hang on the right} when
! it appears at the end of a line after other code, being separated by a
! line break from the construct it introduces, like the opening brace in:
@example
! @group
! while (i < MAX) @{
! total += entry[i];
! entry [i++] = 0;
! @}
! @end group

! A character @dfn{hangs on the left} when it appears at the start of
! the line after the construct it closes off, like the above closing
! brace.
! The next chapter, ``Clean-ups'', describes how to configure @ccmode{}
! to remove these automatically added newlines in certain specific

! To specify which kinds of braces you want auto-newlines put around,
! you set the style variable @code{c-hanging-braces-alist}. Its
! structure and semantics are described in this section. Details of how
! to set it up, and its relationship to CC Mode's style system are given
! in @ref{Style Variables}.
! Say you wanted an auto-newline after (but not before) the following
! @address@hidden:
! @example
! if (foo < 17) @{
! @end example
! @noindent
! First you need to find the @dfn{syntactic context} of the brace---type
! a @key{RET} before the brace to get it on a line of its
! address@hidden insert a @samp{\} at the end of the previous line if
! you're in AWK Mode.}, then type @kbd{C-c C-s}. That will tell you
! something like:
! @example
! ((substatement-open 1061))
! @end example
! @noindent
! So here you need to put the entry @code{(substatement-open . (after))}
! into @code{c-hanging-braces-alist}.
! If you don't want any auto-newlines for a particular syntactic symbol,
! put this into @code{c-hanging-braces-alist}:
+ @example
+ (brace-entry-open)
+ @end example
! If some brace syntactic symbol is not in @code{c-hanging-brace-alist},
! its entry is taken by default as @code{(before after)}---insert a
! newline both before and after the brace. In place of a
! ``before/after'' list you can specify a function in this alist---this
! is useful when the auto newlines depend on the code around the brace.
! @defopt c-hanging-braces-alist
! @vindex hanging-braces-alist (c-)
! This variable is an association list which maps syntactic symbols to
! lists of places to insert a newline. @xref{Association
! Lists,,,@lispref{}, @lispreftitle{}}. The key of each element is the
! syntactic symbol, the associated value is either @code{nil}, a list,
! or a function.
! @table @asis
! @item The Key - the syntactic symbol
! The syntactic symbols that are useful as keys in this list are
! @code{brace-list-intro}, @code{statement-cont},
! @code{inexpr-class-open}, @code{inexpr-class-close}, and all the
! @code{*-open} and @code{*-close} symbols. @xref{Syntactic Symbols},
! for a more detailed description of these syntactic symbols, except for
! @code{inexpr-class-open} and @code{inexpr-class-close}, which aren't
! actual syntactic symbols. Elements with any other value as a key get
! ignored.
! The braces of anonymous inner classes in Java are given the special
! symbols @code{inexpr-class-open} and @code{inexpr-class-close}, so that
! they can be distinguished from the braces of normal address@hidden
! braces of anonymous classes produce a combination of
! @code{inexpr-class}, and @code{class-open} or @code{class-close} in
! normal indentation analysis.}.
! Note that the aggregate constructs in Pike mode, @samp{(@{},
@address@hidden)},
! @samp{([}, @samp{])}, and @samp{(<}, @samp{>)}, do not count as brace
! lists in this regard, even though they do for normal indentation
! purposes. It's currently not possible to set automatic newlines on
! these constructs.
! @item The associated value - the ``ACTION'' list or function
! The value associated with each syntactic symbol in this association
! list is called an @var{action}, which can be either a list or a
! function which returns a list. @xref{Custom Braces}, for how to use
! a function as a brace hanging @var{action}.
!
! The list @var{action} (or the list returned by @var{action} when it's
! a function) contains some combination of the symbols @code{before} and
! @code{after}, directing @ccmode{} where to put newlines in
! relationship to the brace being inserted. Thus, if the list contains
! only the symbol @code{after}, then the brace hangs on the right side
! of the line, as in:
@example
! // here, open braces always `hang'
! void spam( int i ) @{
! if( i == 7 ) @{
! dosomething(i);
! @}
! @}
@end example
! When the list contains both @code{after} and @code{before}, the braces
! will appear on a line by themselves, as shown by the close braces in
! the above example. The list can also be empty, in which case newlines
! are added neither before nor after the brace.
! @end table
! If a syntactic symbol is missing entirely from
! @code{c-hanging-braces-alist}, it's treated in the same way as an
! @var{action} with a list containing @code{before} and @code{after}, so
! that braces by default end up on their own line.
! For example, the default value of @code{c-hanging-braces-alist} is:
@example
! ((brace-list-open)
! (brace-entry-open)
! (statement-cont)
! (substatement-open after)
! (block-close . c-snug-do-while)
! (extern-lang-open after)
! (namespace-open after)
! (module-open after)
! (composition-open after)
! (inexpr-class-open after)
! (inexpr-class-close before))
@end example
! @noindent which says that @code{brace-list-open},
! @code{brace-entry-open} and @address@hidden lists
! inside statements, such as initializers for static array variables
! inside functions in C, are recognized as @code{statement-cont}. All
! normal substatement blocks are recognized with other symbols.} braces
! should both hang on the right side and allow subsequent text to follow
! on the same line as the brace. Also, @code{substatement-open},
! @code{extern-lang-open}, and @code{inexpr-class-open} braces should hang
! on the right side, but subsequent text should follow on the next line.
! The opposite holds for @code{inexpr-class-close} braces; they won't
! hang, but the following text continues on the same line. Here, in the
! @code{block-close} entry, you also see an example of using a function as
! an @var{action}. In all other cases, braces are put on a line by
! themselves.

Syntactic symbols aren't the only place where you can customize
! @ccmode{} with the lisp equivalent of callback functions. Remember
! that @var{action}s are usually a list containing some combination of
! the symbols @code{before} and @code{after} (@pxref{Hanging Braces}).
! For more flexibility, you can instead specify brace ``hanginess'' by
! giving a synctactic symbol an @dfn{action function} in

! ``hanginess'' of a brace, usually by looking at the code near it.
@cindex customization, brace hanging
! An action function is called with two arguments: the syntactic symbol
! for the brace (e.g. @code{substatement-open}), and the buffer position
! where the brace has been inserted. Point is undefined on entry to an
! action function, but the function must preserve it (e.g. by using
! @code{save-excursion}). The return value should be a list containing
! some combination of @code{before} and @code{after}, including neither
! of them (i.e. @code{nil}).
!
! @defvar c-syntactic-context
! @vindex syntactic-context (c-)
! During the call to the indentation or brace hanging @var{action}
! function, this variable is bound to the full syntactic analysis list.

! extra indentation to constructors or destructor declarations in a
! class definition, etc. Note that you should not change point or mark
! inside your @code{c-special-indent-hook} functions, i.e., you'll
! probably want to wrap your function in a @code{save-excursion}.
!
! Setting @code{c-special-indent-hook} in your style definition is
! handled slightly differently than other variables. In your style
! definition, you should set the value for @code{c-special-indent-hook}
! to a function or list of functions, which will be appended to
! @code{c-special-indent-hook} using @code{add-hook}. That way, the
! current setting for the buffer local value of
! @code{c-special-indent-hook} won't be overridden.

classes in Java. It's also used for anonymous array initializers in
! Java.
@end table
! @ssindex -open symbols
! @ssindex -close symbols
! Most syntactic symbol names follow a general naming convention. When a
! line begins with an open or close brace, the syntactic symbol will
! contain the suffix @code{-open} or @code{-close} respectively.
! @ssindex -intro symbols
! @ssindex -cont symbols
! @ssindex -block-intro symbols
! Usually, a distinction is made between the first line that introduces a
! construct and lines that continue a construct, and the syntactic symbols
! that represent these lines will contain the suffix @code{-intro} or
! @code{-cont} respectively. As a sub-classification of this scheme, a
! line which is the first of a particular brace block construct will
! contain the suffix @code{-block-intro}.
! Let's look at some examples to understand how this works. Remember that
! you can check the syntax of any line by using @kbd{C-c C-s}.
@example
! 1: void
! 2: swap( int& a, int& b )
! 3: @{
! 4: int tmp = a;
! 5: a = b;
! 6: b = tmp;
! 7: int ignored =
! 8: a + b;
! 9: @}
@end example
! @ssindex topmost-intro
! @ssindex topmost-intro-cont
! @ssindex defun-open
! @ssindex defun-close
! @ssindex defun-block-intro
! Line 1 shows a @code{topmost-intro} since it is the first line that
! introduces a top-level construct. Line 2 is a continuation of the
! top-level construct introduction so it has the syntax
! @code{topmost-intro-cont}. Line 3 shows a @code{defun-open} since it is
! the brace that opens a top-level function definition. Line 9 is the
! corresponding
! @code{defun-close} since it contains the brace that closes the top-level
! function definition. Line 4 is a @code{defun-block-intro}, i.e., it is
! the first line of a brace-block, enclosed in a
! top-level function definition.
! @ssindex statement
! @ssindex statement-cont
! Lines 5, 6, and 7 are all given @code{statement} syntax since there
! isn't much special about them. Note however that line 8 is given
! @code{statement-cont} syntax since it continues the statement begun
! on the previous line.
! Here's another example, which illustrates some C++ class syntactic
! symbols:
@example
! 1: class Bass
! 2: : public Guitar,
! 3: public Amplifiable
! 4: @{
! 5: public:
! 6: Bass()
! 7: : eString( new BassString( 0.105 )),
! 8: aString( new BassString( 0.085 )),
! 9: dString( new BassString( 0.065 )),
! 10: gString( new BassString( 0.045 ))
! 11: @{
! 12: eString.tune( 'E' );
! 13: aString.tune( 'A' );
! 14: dString.tune( 'D' );
! 15: gString.tune( 'G' );
! 16: @}
! 17: friend class Luthier;
! 18: @};
@end example
! @ssindex class-open
! @ssindex class-close
! As in the previous example, line 1 has the @code{topmost-intro} syntax.
! Here however, the brace that opens a C++ class definition on line 4 is
! assigned the @code{class-open} syntax. Note that in C++, classes,
! structs, and unions are essentially equivalent syntactically (and are
! very similar semantically), so replacing the @code{class} keyword in the
! example above with @code{struct} or @code{union} would still result in a
! syntax of @code{class-open} for line 4 @footnote{This is the case even
! for C and Objective-C. For consistency, structs in all supported
! languages are syntactically equivalent to classes. Note however that
! the keyword @code{class} is meaningless in C and Objective-C.}.
! Similarly, line 18 is assigned @code{class-close} syntax.
- @ssindex inher-intro
- @ssindex inher-cont
- Line 2 introduces the inheritance list for the class so it is assigned
- the @code{inher-intro} syntax, and line 3, which continues the
- inheritance list is given @code{inher-cont} syntax.
! @ssindex access-label
! @ssindex inclass
! Hitting @kbd{C-c C-s} on line 5 shows the following analysis:
@example
! ((inclass 58) (access-label 58))
@end example
! @noindent
! The primary syntactic symbol for this line is @code{access-label} as
! this a label keyword that specifies access protection in C++. However,
! because this line is also a top-level construct inside a class
! definition, the analysis actually shows two syntactic symbols. The
! other syntactic symbol assigned to this line is @code{inclass}.
! Similarly, line 6 is given both @code{inclass} and @code{topmost-intro}
! syntax:
@example
! ((inclass 58) (topmost-intro 60))
@end example
! @ssindex member-init-intro
! @ssindex member-init-cont
! Line 7 introduces a C++ member initialization list and as such is given
! @code{member-init-intro} syntax. Note that in this case it is
! @emph{not} assigned @code{inclass} since this is not considered a
! top-level construct. Lines 8 through 10 are all assigned
! @code{member-init-cont} since they continue the member initialization
! list started on line 7.
! @cindex in-class inline methods
! @ssindex inline-open
! @ssindex inline-close
! Line 11's analysis is a bit more complicated:
@example
! ((inclass 58) (inline-open))
@end example
! This line is assigned a syntax of both @code{inline-open} and
! @code{inclass} because it opens an @dfn{in-class} C++ inline method
! definition. This is distinct from, but related to, the C++ notion of an
! inline function in that its definition occurs inside an enclosing class
! definition, which in C++ implies that the function should be inlined.
! However, if the definition of the @code{Bass} constructor appeared
! outside the class definition, the construct would be given the
! @code{defun-open} syntax, even if the keyword @code{inline} appeared
! before the method name, as in:
@example
! 1: class Bass
! 2: : public Guitar,
! 3: public Amplifiable
! 4: @{
! 5: public:
! 6: Bass();
! 7: @};
! 8:
! 9: inline
! 10: Bass::Bass()
! 11: : eString( new BassString( 0.105 )),
! 12: aString( new BassString( 0.085 )),
! 13: dString( new BassString( 0.065 )),
! 14: gString( new BassString( 0.045 ))
! 15: @{
! 16: eString.tune( 'E' );
! 17: aString.tune( 'A' );
! 18: dString.tune( 'D' );
! 19: gString.tune( 'G' );
! 20: @}
@end example
! @ssindex friend
! Returning to the previous example, line 16 is given @code{inline-close}
! syntax, while line 12 is given @code{defun-block-open} syntax, and lines
! 13 through 15 are all given @code{statement} syntax. Line 17 is
! interesting in that its syntactic analysis list contains three
! elements:
! @example
! ((inclass 58) (topmost-intro 380) (friend))
! @end example
- The @code{friend} syntactic symbol is a modifier that typically does not
- have a relative buffer position.
! Template definitions introduce yet another syntactic symbol:
! @example
! 1: ThingManager <int,
! 2: Framework::Callback *,
! 3: Mutex> framework_callbacks;
@end example
! Here, line 1 is analyzed as a @code{topmost-intro}, but lines 2 and 3
! are both analyzed as @code{template-args-cont} lines.
! Here is another (totally contrived) example which illustrates how syntax
! is assigned to various conditional constructs:
! @example
! 1: void spam( int index )
! 2: @{
! 3: for( int i=0; i<index; i++ )
! 4: @{
! 5: if( i == 10 )
! 6: do_something_special();
! 7: else
! 8: silly_label:
! 9: do_something( i );
! 10: @}
! 11: do @{
! 12: another_thing( i-- );
! 13: @}
! 14: while( i > 0 );
! 15: @}
! @end example
! Only the lines that illustrate new syntactic symbols will be discussed.
! @ssindex substatement-open
! @ssindex substatement-block-intro
! @ssindex block-close
! Line 4 has a brace which opens a conditional's substatement block. It
! is thus assigned @code{substatement-open} syntax, and since line 5 is
! the first line in the substatement block, it is assigned
! @code{substatement-block-intro} syntax. Line 10 contains the brace that
! closes the inner substatement block, and is therefore given the syntax
! @code{block-close}. Line 13 is treated the same way.
! @ssindex substatement
! Lines 6 and 9 are also substatements of conditionals, but since they
! don't start blocks they are given @code{substatement} syntax
! instead of @code{substatement-open}.
! @ssindex substatement-label
! Line 8 contains a label, which is normally given @code{label} syntax.
! This one is however a bit special since it's between a conditional and
! its substatement. It's analyzed as @code{substatement-label} to let you
! handle this rather odd case differently from normal labels.
! @ssindex else-clause
! @ssindex catch-clause
! Line 7 start with an @code{else} that matches the @code{if} statement on
! line 5. It is therefore given the @code{else-clause} syntax and is
! anchored on the matching @code{if}. The @address@hidden
! constructs in C++ and Java are treated this way too, except that
! @code{catch} and (in Java) @code{finally}, are marked with
! @code{catch-clause}.
! @ssindex do-while-closure
! The @code{while} construct on line 14 that closes a @code{do}
! conditional is given the special syntax @code{do-while-closure} if it
! appears on a line by itself. Note that if the @code{while} appeared on
! the same line as the preceding close brace, that line would still have
! @code{block-close} syntax.
! Switch statements have their own set of syntactic symbols. Here's an
! example:
@example
! 1: void spam( enum Ingredient i )
2: @{
! 3: switch( i ) @{
! 4: case Ham:
! 5: be_a_pig();
! 6: break;
! 7: case Salt:
! 8: drink_some_water();
! 9: break;
! 10: default:
! 11: @{
! 12: what_is_it();
! 13: break;
! 14: @}
! 15: @}
! 14: @}
@end example
! @ssindex case-label
! @ssindex statement-case-intro
! @ssindex statement-case-open
! Here, lines 4, 7, and 10 are all assigned @code{case-label} syntax,
! while lines 5 and 8 are assigned @code{statement-case-intro}. Line 11
! is treated slightly differently since it contains a brace that opens a
! block --- it is given @code{statement-case-open} syntax.
!
! @cindex brace lists
! There are a set of syntactic symbols that are used to recognize
! constructs inside of brace lists. A brace list is defined as an
! @code{enum} or aggregate initializer list, such as might statically
! initialize an array of structs. The three special aggregate constructs
! in Pike, @code{(@{ @})}, @code{([ ])} and @code{(< >)}, are treated as
! brace lists too. An example:
@example
! 1: static char* ingredients[] =
2: @{
! 3: "Ham",
! 4: "Salt",
! 5: NULL
! 6: @};
@end example
! @ssindex brace-list-open
! @ssindex brace-list-intro
! @ssindex brace-list-close
! @ssindex brace-list-entry
! Following convention, line 2 in this example is assigned
! @code{brace-list-open} syntax, and line 3 is assigned
! @code{brace-list-intro} syntax. Likewise, line 6 is assigned
! @code{brace-list-close} syntax. Lines 4 and 5 however, are assigned
! @code{brace-list-entry} syntax, as would all subsequent lines in this
! initializer list.
! @ssindex brace-entry-open
! Your static initializer might be initializing nested structures, for
! example:
@example
! 1: struct intpairs[] =
2: @{
! 3: @{ 1, 2 @},
! 4: @{
! 5: 3,
! 6: 4
! 7: @}
! 8: @{ 1,
! 9: 2 @},
! 10: @{ 3, 4 @}
! 11: @};
@end example
! Here, you've already seen the analysis of lines 1, 2, 3, and 11. On
! line 4, things get interesting; this line is assigned
! @code{brace-entry-open} syntactic symbol because it's a bracelist entry
! line that starts with an open brace. Lines 5 and 6 (and line 9) are
! pretty standard, and line 7 is a @code{brace-list-close} as you'd
! expect. Once again, line 8 is assigned as @code{brace-entry-open} as is
! line 10.
! External language definition blocks also have their own syntactic
! symbols. In this example:
! @example
! 1: extern "C"
! 2: @{
! 3: int thing_one( int );
! 4: int thing_two( double );
! 5: @}
! @end example
! @ssindex extern-lang-open
! @ssindex extern-lang-close
! @ssindex inextern-lang
! @ssindex inclass
! @noindent
! line 2 is given the @code{extern-lang-open} syntax, while line 5 is given
! the @code{extern-lang-close} syntax. The analysis for line 3 yields:
! @example
! ((inextern-lang) (topmost-intro 14))
! @end example
! @noindent
! where @code{inextern-lang} is a modifier similar in purpose to
! @code{inclass}.
! There are various other top level blocks like @code{extern}, and they
! are all treated in the same way except that the symbols are named after
! the keyword that introduces the block. e.g., C++ namespace blocks get
! the three symbols @code{namespace-open}, @code{namespace-close} and
! @code{innamespace}. The currently recognized top level blocks are:
! @table @asis
! @item @code{extern-lang-open}, @code{extern-lang-close}, @code{inextern-lang}
! @code{extern} blocks in C and address@hidden should logically be
! named @code{extern-open}, @code{extern-close} and @code{inextern}, but
! that isn't the case for historical reasons.}
! @item @code{namespace-open}, @code{namespace-close}, @code{innamespace}
! @ssindex namespace-open
! @ssindex namespace-close
! @ssindex innamespace
! @code{namespace} blocks in C++.
! @item @code{module-open}, @code{module-close}, @code{inmodule}
! @ssindex module-open
! @ssindex module-close
! @ssindex inmodule
! @code{module} blocks in CORBA IDL.
! @item @code{composition-open}, @code{composition-close}, @code{incomposition}
! @ssindex composition-open
! @ssindex composition-close
! @ssindex incomposition
! @code{composition} blocks in CORBA CIDL.
! @end table
! A number of syntactic symbols are associated with parenthesis lists,
! a.k.a argument lists, as found in function declarations and function
! calls. This example illustrates these:
@example
! 1: void a_function( int line1,
! 2: int line2 );
! 3:
! 4: void a_longer_function(
! 5: int line1,
! 6: int line2
! 7: );
! 8:
! 9: void call_them( int line1, int line2 )
! 10: @{
! 11: a_function(
! 12: line1,
! 13: line2
! 14: );
! 15:
! 16: a_longer_function( line1,
! 17: line2 );
! 18: @}
@end example
! @ssindex arglist-intro
! @ssindex arglist-close
! Lines 5 and 12 are assigned @code{arglist-intro} syntax since they are
! the first line following the open parenthesis, and lines 7 and 14 are
! assigned @code{arglist-close} syntax since they contain the parenthesis
! that closes the argument list.
! @ssindex arglist-cont-nonempty
! @ssindex arglist-cont
! Lines that continue argument lists can be assigned one of two syntactic
! symbols. For example, Lines 2 and 17
! are assigned @code{arglist-cont-nonempty} syntax. What this means
! is that they continue an argument list, but that the line containing the
! parenthesis that opens the list is @emph{not empty} following the open
! parenthesis. Contrast this against lines 6 and 13 which are assigned
! @code{arglist-cont} syntax. This is because the parenthesis that opens
! their argument lists is the last character on that line.
! Note that there is no @code{arglist-open} syntax. This is because any
! parenthesis that opens an argument list, appearing on a separate line,
! is assigned the @code{statement-cont} syntax instead.
! A few miscellaneous syntactic symbols that haven't been previously
! covered are illustrated by this C++ example:
! @example
! 1: void Bass::play( int volume )
! 2: const
! 3: @{
! 4: /* this line starts a multiline
! 5: * comment. This line should get `c' syntax */
! 6:
! 7: char* a_multiline_string = "This line starts a multiline \
! 8: string. This line should get `string' syntax.";
! 9:
! 10: note:
! 11: @{
! 12: #ifdef LOCK
! 13: Lock acquire();
! 14: #endif // LOCK
! 15: slap_pop();
! 16: cout << "I played "
! 17: << "a note\n";
! 18: @}
! 19: @}
! @end example
! The lines to note in this example include:
! @itemize @bullet
! @item
! @ssindex func-decl-cont
! Line 2 is assigned the @code{func-decl-cont} syntax.
! @item
! @ssindex comment-intro
! Line 4 is assigned both @code{defun-block-intro} @emph{and}
! @code{comment-intro} syntax.
! @item
! @ssindex c
! Line 5 is assigned @code{c} syntax.
! @item
! @cindex syntactic whitespace
! Line 6 which, even though it contains nothing but whitespace, is
! assigned @code{defun-block-intro}. Note that the appearance of the
! comment on lines 4 and 5 do not cause line 6 to be assigned
! @code{statement} syntax because comments are considered to be
! @dfn{syntactic whitespace}, which are ignored when analyzing
! code.
! @item
! @ssindex string
! Line 8 is assigned @code{string} syntax.
! @item
! @ssindex label
! Line 10 is assigned @code{label} syntax.
! @item
! @ssindex block-open
! Line 11 is assigned @code{block-open} syntax.
! @item
! @ssindex cpp-macro
! Lines 12 and 14 are assigned @code{cpp-macro} syntax in addition to the
! normal syntactic symbols (@code{statement-block-intro} and
! @code{statement}, respectively). Normally @code{cpp-macro} is
! configured to cancel out the normal syntactic context to make all
! preprocessor directives stick to the first column, but that's easily
! changed if you want preprocessor directives to be indented like the rest
! of the code.
! @item
! @ssindex stream-op
! Line 17 is assigned @code{stream-op} syntax.
! @end itemize
! @cindex multiline macros
! @cindex syntactic whitespace
! @ssindex cpp-define-intro
! Multiline preprocessor macro definitions are normally handled just like
! other code, i.e., the lines inside them are indented according to the
! syntactic analysis of the preceding lines inside the macro. The first
! line inside a macro definition (i.e., the line after the starting line of
! the cpp directive itself) gets @code{cpp-define-intro}. In this example:
@example
! 1: #define LIST_LOOP(cons, listp) \

@noindent
! line 1 is given the syntactic symbol @code{cpp-macro}. The first line
! of a cpp directive is always given that symbol. Line 2 is given
! @code{cpp-define-intro}, so that you can give the macro body as a whole
! some extra indentation. Lines 3 through 5 are then analyzed as normal
! code, i.e., @code{substatement} on lines 3 and 4, and @code{else-clause}
! on line 5.
! The syntactic analysis inside macros can be turned off with
! @code{c-syntactic-indentation-in-macros}. In that case, lines 2 through
! 5 would all be given @code{cpp-macro-cont} with a relative buffer
! position pointing to the @code{#} which starts the cpp
! address@hidden is how @ccmode{} 5.28 and earlier analyzed
! macros.}.
! @xref{Macro Handling}, for more info about the treatment of macros.
! In Objective-C buffers, there are three additional syntactic symbols
! assigned to various message calling constructs. Here's an example
! illustrating these:
@example
! 1: - (void)setDelegate:anObject
! 2: withStuff:stuff
! 3: @{
! 4: [delegate masterWillRebind:self
! 5: toDelegate:anObject
! 6: withExtraStuff:stuff];
! 7: @}
@end example
! @ssindex objc-method-intro
! @ssindex objc-method-args-cont
! @ssindex objc-method-call-cont
! Here, line 1 is assigned @code{objc-method-intro} syntax, and line 2 is
! assigned @code{objc-method-args-cont} syntax. Lines 5 and 6 are both
! assigned @code{objc-method-call-cont} syntax.
! Java has a concept of anonymous classes, which may look something like
! this:
! @example
! 1: public void watch(Observable o) @{
! 2: o.addObserver(new Observer() @{
! 3: public void update(Observable o, Object arg) @{
! 4: history.addElement(arg);
! 5: @}
! 6: @});
! 7: @}
! @end example
! @ssindex inexpr-class
! The brace following the @code{new} operator opens the anonymous class.
! Lines 3 and 6 are assigned the @code{inexpr-class} syntax, besides the
! @code{inclass} symbol used in normal classes. Thus, the class will be
! indented just like a normal class, with the added indentation given to
@code{inexpr-class}.
! There are a few occasions where a statement block may be used inside an
! expression. One is in C or C++ code using the gcc extension for this,
! e.g:
@example
! 1: int res = (@{
! 2: int y = foo (); int z;
! 3: if (y > 0) z = y; else z = - y;
! 4: z;
! 5: @});
@end example
- @ssindex inexpr-statement
- Lines 2 and 5 get the @code{inexpr-statement} syntax, besides the
- symbols they'd get in a normal block. Therefore, the indentation put on
- @code{inexpr-statement} is added to the normal statement block
- indentation.
-
- In Pike code, there are a few other situations where blocks occur inside
- statements, as illustrated here:
-
@example
! 1: array itgob()
! 2: @{
! 3: string s = map (backtrace()[-2][3..],
! 4: lambda
! 5: (mixed arg)
! 6: @{
! 7: return sprintf ("%t", arg);
! 8: @}) * ", " + "\n";
! 9: return catch @{
! 10: write (s + "\n");
! 11: @};
! 12: @}
@end example
! @ssindex inlambda
! @ssindex lambda-intro-cont
! Lines 4 through 8 contain a lambda function, which @ccmode{} recognizes
! by the @code{lambda} keyword. If the function argument list is put
! on a line of its own, as in line 5, it gets the @code{lambda-intro-cont}
! syntax. The function body is handled as an inline method body, with the
! addition of the @code{inlambda} syntactic symbol. This means that line
! 6 gets @code{inlambda} and @code{inline-open}, and line 8 gets
! @address@hidden might wonder why it doesn't get
! @code{inlambda} too. It's because the closing brace is relative to the
! opening brace, which stands on its own line in this example. If the
! opening brace was hanging on the previous line, then the closing brace
! would get the @code{inlambda} syntax too to be indented correctly.}.
! @ssindex inexpr-statement
! On line 9, @code{catch} is a special function taking a statement block
! as its argument. The block is handled as an in-expression statement
! with the @code{inexpr-statement} syntax, just like the gcc extended C
! example above. The other similar special function, @code{gauge}, is
! handled like this too.
! @ssindex knr-argdecl-intro
! @ssindex knr-argdecl
! Two other syntactic symbols can appear in old style, non-prototyped C
! code @footnote{a.k.a. K&R C, or Kernighan & Ritchie C}:
@example
! 1: int add_three_integers(a, b, c)
! 2: int a;
! 3: int b;
! 4: int c;
! 5: @{
! 6: return a + b + c;
! 7: @}
@end example
! Here, line 2 is the first line in an argument declaration list and so is
! given the @code{knr-argdecl-intro} syntactic symbol. Subsequent lines
! (i.e., lines 3 and 4 in this example), are given @code{knr-argdecl}
! syntax.

!
! @ccmode{} comes with many predefined indentation functions for common

! @cindex clean-ups
@comment !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
! @dfn{Clean-ups} are mechanisms which remove (or exceptionally, add)
! whitespace in specific circumstances and are complementary to colon
! and brace hanging. You enable a clean-up by adding its symbol into
! @code{c-cleanup-list}.
! On the surface, it would seem that clean-ups overlap the functionality
! provided by the @code{c-hanging-*-alist} variables. Clean-ups,
! however, are used to adjust code ``after-the-fact'', i.e. to adjust
! the whitespace in constructs later than when they were typed.
!
! Most of the clean-ups remove automatically inserted newlines, and are
! only active when auto-newline minor mode is turned on. Others will
! work all the time. Note that clean-ups are only performed when there
! is nothing but whitespace appearing between the individual components
! of the construct, and (apart from @code{comment-close-slash}) when the
! construct does not occur within a literal (@pxref{Auto-newlines}).
! @defopt c-cleanup-list
! @vindex cleanup-list (c-)
! @cindex literal
!
! You configure @ccmode{}'s clean-ups by setting the style variable
! @code{c-cleanup-list}, which is a list of clean-up symbols. By
! default, @ccmode{} cleans up only the @code{scope-operator} construct,
! which is necessary for proper C++ support.
@end defopt
+ These are the clean-ups that are only active when electric and
+ auto-newline minor modes are enabled:
! @c TBD: Would like to use some sort of @deffoo here; @table indents a
! @c bit too much in dvi output.
! @table @code
! @item brace-else-brace
! Clean up @address@hidden else @{} constructs by placing the entire construct
on
! a single line. Clean up occurs when the open brace after the
! @samp{else} is typed. So for example, this:
! @example
! @group
! void spam(int i)
! @{
! if( i==7 ) @{
! dosomething();
! @}
! else
! @{
! @end group
! @end example
! @noindent
! appears like this after the last open brace is typed:
!
! @example
! @group
! void spam(int i)
! @{
! if( i==7 ) @{
! dosomething();
! @} else @{
! @end group
! @end example
!
! @item brace-elseif-brace
! Similar to the @code{brace-else-brace} clean-up, but this cleans up
! @address@hidden else if (...) @{} constructs. For example:
!
! @example
! @group
! void spam(int i)
! @{
! if( i==7 ) @{
! dosomething();
! @}
! else if( i==3 )
! @{
! @end group
! @end example
!
! @noindent
! appears like this after the last open parenthesis is typed:
!
! @example
! @group
! void spam(int i)
! @{
! if( i==7 ) @{
! dosomething();
! @} else if(
! @end group
! @end example
!
! @noindent
! and like this after the last open brace is typed:
!
! @example
! @group
! void spam(int i)
! @{
! if( i==7 ) @{
! dosomething();
! @} else if( i==3 ) @{
! @end group
! @end example
!
! @item brace-catch-brace
! Analogous to @code{brace-elseif-brace}, but cleans up @address@hidden catch
! (...) @{} in C++ and Java mode.
!
! @item empty-defun-braces
! Clean up braces following a top-level function or class definition that
! contains no body. Clean up occurs when the closing brace is typed.
! Thus the following:
!
! @example
! @group
! class Spam
! @{
! @}
! @end group
! @end example
!
! @noindent
! is transformed into this when the close brace is typed:
!
! @example
! @group
! class Spam
! @address@hidden
! @end group
! @end example
!
! @item defun-close-semi
! Clean up the terminating semicolon on top-level function or class
! definitions when they follow a close brace. Clean up occurs when the
! semicolon is typed. So for example, the following:
!
! @example
! @group
! class Spam
! @{
! ...
! @}
! ;
! @end group
! @end example
!
! @noindent
! is transformed into this when the semicolon is typed:
!
! @example
! @group
! class Spam
! @{
! ...
! @};
! @end group
! @end example
!
! @item list-close-comma
! Clean up commas following braces in array and aggregate initializers.
! Clean up occurs when the comma is typed. The space before the comma
! is zapped just like the space before the semicolon in
! @code{defun-close-semi}.
!
! @item scope-operator
! Clean up double colons which might designate a C++ scope operator split
! across multiple address@hidden C++ constructs introduce
! ambiguous situations, so @code{scope-operator} clean-ups might not
! always be correct. This usually only occurs when scoped identifiers
! appear in switch label tags.}. Clean up occurs when the second colon is
! typed. You will always want @code{scope-operator} in the
! @code{c-cleanup-list} when you are editing C++ code.
!
! @item one-liner-defun
! Clean up a single line of code enclosed by defun braces by removing
! the whitespace before and after the code. The clean-up happens when
! the closing brace is typed. If the variable
! @code{c-max-one-liner-length} is set, the cleanup is only done if the
! resulting line would be no longer than the value of that variable.
!
! For example, consider this AWK code:
!
! @example
! @group
! BEGIN @{
! FS = "\t" # use <TAB> as a field separator
! @}
! @end group
! @end example
!
! @noindent
! It gets compacted to the following when the closing brace is typed:
!
! @example
! @group
! BEGIN @{FS = "\t"@} # use <TAB> as a field separator
! @end group
! @end example
!
! @defopt c-max-one-liner-length
! @vindex max-one-liner-length (c-)
! The maximum length of the resulting line for which the clean-up
! @code{one-liner-defun} will be triggered. This length is that of the entire
! line, including any leading whitespace and any trailing comment. Its
! default value is 80. If the value is zero or @code{nil}, no limit
! applies.
! @end defopt
! @end table
!
! The following clean-ups are always active when they occur on
! @code{c-cleanup-list}, regardless of whether Electric minor mode or
! Auto-newline minor mode are enabled:
!
! @table @code
! @item space-before-funcall
! Insert a space between the function name and the opening parenthesis
! of a function call. This produces function calls in the style
! mandated by the GNU coding standards, e.g. @address@hidden(SIGINT,
! SIG_IGN)} and @address@hidden()}. Clean up occurs when the opening
! parenthesis is typed. This clean-up should never be active in AWK
! Mode, since such a space is syntactically invalid for user defined
! functions.
!
! @item compact-empty-funcall
! Clean up any space between the function name and the opening parenthesis
! of a function call that has no arguments. This is typically used
! together with @code{space-before-funcall} if you prefer the GNU function
! call style for functions with arguments but think it looks ugly when
! it's only an empty parenthesis pair. I.e. you will get @samp{signal
! (SIGINT, SIG_IGN)}, but @samp{abort()}. Clean up occurs when the
! closing parenthesis is typed.
!
! @item comment-close-slash
! When inside a block comment, terminate the comment when you type a
! slash at the beginning of a line (i.e. immediately after the comment
! prefix). This clean-up removes whitespace preceding the slash and if
! needed, inserts a star to complete the token @samp{*/}.

!
! This chapter will briefly cover how @ccmode{} indents lines of code.
! It is helpful to understand the indentation model being used so that
! you will know how to customize @ccmode{} for your personal coding
! style. All the details are in @ref{Customizing Indentation}.
!
! @ccmode{} has an indentation engine that provides a flexible and
! general mechanism for customizing indentation. When @ccmode{} indents
! a line of code, it separates its calculations into two steps:
!
! @enumerate
! @item
! @cindex syntactic symbol
! @cindex anchor position
! It analyzes the line to determine its @dfn{syntactic symbol(s)} (the
! kind of language construct it's looking at) and its @dfn{anchor
! position} (the position earlier in the file that @ccmode{} will indent
! the line relative to). The anchor position might be the location of
! an opening brace in the previous line, for example. @xref{Syntactic
! Analysis}.
! @item
! @cindex offsets
! @cindex indentation offset specifications
! It looks up the syntactic symbol(s) in the configuration to get the
! corresponding @dfn{offset(s)}. The symbol @code{+}, which means
! ``indent this line one more level'' is a typical offset. @ccmode{}
! then applies these offset(s) to the anchor position, giving the
! indentation for the line. The different sorts of offsets are
! described in @ref{c-offsets-alist}.
! @end enumerate
!
! In exceptional circumstances, the syntax directed indentation
! described here may be a nuisance rather than a help. You can disable
! it by setting @code{c-syntactic-indentation} to @code{nil}. (To set
! the variable interactively, @ref{Minor Modes}).
!
! @defopt c-syntactic-indentation
! @vindex syntactic-indentation (c-)
! When this is address@hidden (which it is by default), the indentation
! of code is done according to its syntactic structure. When it's
! @code{nil}, every line is just indented to the same level as the
! previous one, and @kbd{TAB} (@code{c-indent-command}) adjusts the
! indentation in steps of @code{c-basic-offset}. The current style
! (@pxref{Config Basics}) then has no effect on indentation, nor do any
! of the variables associated with indentation, not even
! @code{c-special-indent-hook}.

!
! @cindex syntactic element
! @cindex syntactic context
! The first thing @ccmode{} does when indenting a line of code, is to
! analyze the line, determining the @dfn{syntactic context} of the
! (first) construct on that line. It's a list of @dfn{syntactic
! elements}, where each syntactic element in turn is a address@hidden
! @ccmode 5.28 and earlier, a syntactic element was a dotted pair; the
! cons was the syntactic symbol and the cdr was the anchor position.
! For compatibility's sake, the parameter passed to a line-up function
! still has this dotted pair form (@pxref{Custom Line-Up}).} Here is a
! brief and typical example:
!
! @example
! ((defun-block-intro 1959))
! @end example
!
! @cindex syntactic symbol
! @noindent
! The first thing inside each syntactic element is always a
! @dfn{syntactic symbol}. It describes the kind of construct that was
! recognized, e.g. @code{statement}, @code{substatement},
! @code{class-open}, @code{class-close}, etc. @xref{Syntactic Symbols},
! for a complete list of currently recognized syntactic symbols and
! their semantics. The remaining entries are various data associated
! with the recognized construct - there might be zero or more.
!
! @cindex anchor position
! Conceptually, a line of code is always indented relative to some
! position higher up in the buffer (typically the indentation of the
! previous line). That position is the @dfn{anchor position} in the
! syntactic element. If there is an entry after the syntactic symbol in
! the syntactic element list then it's either nil or that anchor position.
!
! Here is an example. Suppose we had the following code as the only thing
! in a C++ buffer @footnote{The line numbers in this and future examples
! don't actually appear in the buffer, of course!}:
!
! @example
! 1: void swap( int& a, int& b )
! 2: @{
! 3: int tmp = a;
! 4: a = b;
! 5: b = tmp;
! 6: @}
! @end example
!
! @noindent
! We can use @kbd{C-c C-s} (@code{c-show-syntactic-information}) to
! report what the syntactic analysis is for the current line:
!
! @table @asis
! @item @kbd{C-c C-s} (@code{c-show-syntactic-information})
! @kindex C-c C-s
! @findex c-show-syntactic-information
! @findex show-syntactic-information (c-)
! This command calculates the syntactic analysis of the current line and
! displays it in the minibuffer. The command also highlights the anchor
! position(s).
! @end table
!
! Running this command on line 4 of this example, we'd see in the echo
! address@hidden a universal argument (i.e. @kbd{C-u C-c C-s}) the
! analysis is inserted into the buffer as a comment on the current
! line.}:
!
! @example
! ((statement 35))
! @end example
!
! @noindent
! and the @samp{i} of @code{int} on line 3 would be highlighted. This
! tells us that the line is a statement and it is indented relative to
! buffer position 35, the highlighted position. If you were to move
! point to line 3 and hit @kbd{C-c C-s}, you would see:
!
! @example
! ((defun-block-intro 29))
! @end example
!
! @noindent
! This indicates that the @samp{int} line is the first statement in a top
! level function block, and is indented relative to buffer position 29,
! which is the brace just after the function header.
!
! Here's another example:
!
! @example
! 1: int add( int val, int incr, int doit )
! 2: @{
! 3: if( doit )
! 4: @{
! 5: return( val + incr );
! 6: @}
! 7: return( val );
! 8: @}
! @end example
!
! @noindent
! Hitting @kbd{C-c C-s} on line 4 gives us:
!
! @example
! ((substatement-open 46))
! @end example
!
! @cindex substatement
! @cindex substatement block
! @noindent
! which tells us that this is a brace that @emph{opens} a substatement
! block. @footnote{A @dfn{substatement} is the line after a
! conditional statement, such as @code{if}, @code{else}, @code{while},
! @code{do}, @code{switch}, etc. A @dfn{substatement
! block} is a brace block following one of these conditional statements.}
!
! @cindex comment-only line
! Syntactic contexts can contain more than one element, and syntactic
! elements need not have anchor positions. The most common example of
! this is a @dfn{comment-only line}:
!
! @example
! 1: void draw_list( List<Drawables>& drawables )
! 2: @{
! 3: // call the virtual draw() method on each element in list
! 4: for( int i=0; i < drawables.count(), ++i )
! 5: @{
! 6: drawables[i].draw();
! 7: @}
! 8: @}
! @end example
!
! @noindent
! Hitting @kbd{C-c C-s} on line 3 of this example gives:
!
! @example
! ((comment-intro) (defun-block-intro 46))
! @end example
!
! @noindent
! and you can see that the syntactic context contains two syntactic
! elements. Notice that the first element, @samp{(comment-intro)}, has no
! anchor position.

! @vindex offsets-alist (c-)
! This section is a complete list of the syntactic symbols which appear
! in the @code{c-offsets-alist} style variable, along with brief
! descriptions. The previous section (@pxref{Syntactic Analysis})
! states what syntactic symbols are and how the indentation engine uses
! them.
!
! More detailed descriptions of these symbols, together with snippets of
! source code to which they apply, appear in the examples in the
! subsections below. Note that, in the interests of brevity, the anchor
! position associated with most syntactic symbols is @emph{not}
! specified. In cases of doubt, type @kbd{C-c C-s} on a pertinent
! line---this highlights the anchor position.
!
! @ssindex -open symbols
! @ssindex -close symbols
! @ssindex -block-intro symbols
! The syntactic symbols which indicate brace constructs follow a general
! naming convention. When a line begins with an open or close brace,
! its syntactic symbol will contain the suffix @code{-open} or
! @code{-close} respectively. The first line within the brace block
! construct will contain the suffix @code{-block-intro}.
!
! @ssindex -intro symbols
! @ssindex -cont symbols
! In constructs which can span several lines, a distinction is usually
! made between the first line that introduces the construct and the
! lines that continue it. The syntactic symbols that indicate these
! lines will contain the suffixes @code{-intro} or @code{-cont}
! respectively.
!
! The best way to understand how all this works is by looking at some
! examples. Remember that you can see the syntax of any source code
! line by using @kbd{C-c C-s}.

! Here's an example which illustrates some C++ class syntactic symbols:
!
! @example
! 1: class Bass
! 2: : public Guitar,
! 3: public Amplifiable
! 4: @{
! 5: public:
! 6: Bass()
! 7: : eString( new BassString( 0.105 )),
! 8: aString( new BassString( 0.085 )),
! 9: dString( new BassString( 0.065 )),
! 10: gString( new BassString( 0.045 ))
! 11: @{
! 12: eString.tune( 'E' );
! 13: aString.tune( 'A' );
! 14: dString.tune( 'D' );
! 15: gString.tune( 'G' );
! 16: @}
! 17: friend class Luthier;
! 18: @};
! @end example
!
! @ssindex class-open
! @ssindex class-close
! As in the previous example, line 1 has the @code{topmost-intro} syntax.
! Here however, the brace that opens a C++ class definition on line 4 is
! assigned the @code{class-open} syntax. Note that in C++, classes,
! structs, and unions are essentially equivalent syntactically (and are
! very similar semantically), so replacing the @code{class} keyword in the
! example above with @code{struct} or @code{union} would still result in a
! syntax of @code{class-open} for line 4 @footnote{This is the case even
! for C and Objective-C. For consistency, structs in all supported
! languages are syntactically equivalent to classes. Note however that
! the keyword @code{class} is meaningless in C and Objective-C.}.
! Similarly, line 18 is assigned @code{class-close} syntax.
!
! @ssindex inher-intro
! @ssindex inher-cont
! Line 2 introduces the inheritance list for the class so it is assigned
! the @code{inher-intro} syntax, and line 3, which continues the
! inheritance list is given @code{inher-cont} syntax.
!
! @ssindex access-label
! @ssindex inclass
! Hitting @kbd{C-c C-s} on line 5 shows the following analysis:
!
! @example
! ((inclass 58) (access-label 58))
! @end example
!
! @noindent
! The primary syntactic symbol for this line is @code{access-label} as
! this a label keyword that specifies access protection in C++. However,
! because this line is also a top-level construct inside a class
! definition, the analysis actually shows two syntactic symbols. The
! other syntactic symbol assigned to this line is @code{inclass}.
! Similarly, line 6 is given both @code{inclass} and @code{topmost-intro}
! syntax:
!
! @example
! ((inclass 58) (topmost-intro 60))
! @end example
!
! @ssindex member-init-intro
! @ssindex member-init-cont
! Line 7 introduces a C++ member initialization list and as such is given
! @code{member-init-intro} syntax. Note that in this case it is
! @emph{not} assigned @code{inclass} since this is not considered a
! top-level construct. Lines 8 through 10 are all assigned
! @code{member-init-cont} since they continue the member initialization
! list started on line 7.
!
! @cindex in-class inline methods
! @ssindex inline-open
! @ssindex inline-close
! Line 11's analysis is a bit more complicated:
!
! @example
! ((inclass 58) (inline-open))
! @end example
!
! This line is assigned a syntax of both @code{inline-open} and
! @code{inclass} because it opens an @dfn{in-class} C++ inline method
! definition. This is distinct from, but related to, the C++ notion of an
! inline function in that its definition occurs inside an enclosing class
! definition, which in C++ implies that the function should be inlined.
! However, if the definition of the @code{Bass} constructor appeared
! outside the class definition, the construct would be given the
! @code{defun-open} syntax, even if the keyword @code{inline} appeared
! before the method name, as in:
!
! @example
! 1: class Bass
! 2: : public Guitar,
! 3: public Amplifiable
! 4: @{
! 5: public:
! 6: Bass();
! 7: @};
! 8:
! 9: inline
! 10: Bass::Bass()
! 11: : eString( new BassString( 0.105 )),
! 12: aString( new BassString( 0.085 )),
! 13: dString( new BassString( 0.065 )),
! 14: gString( new BassString( 0.045 ))
! 15: @{
! 16: eString.tune( 'E' );
! 17: aString.tune( 'A' );
! 18: dString.tune( 'D' );
! 19: gString.tune( 'G' );
! 20: @}
! @end example
!
! @ssindex friend
! Returning to the previous example, line 16 is given @code{inline-close}
! syntax, while line 12 is given @code{defun-block-open} syntax, and lines
! 13 through 15 are all given @code{statement} syntax. Line 17 is
! interesting in that its syntactic analysis list contains three
! elements:
!
! @example
! ((inclass 58) (topmost-intro 380) (friend))
! @end example
!
! The @code{friend} and @code{inline-open} syntactic symbols are
! modifiers that do not have anchor positions.
!
! @ssindex template-args-cont
! Template definitions introduce yet another syntactic symbol:
!
! @example
! 1: ThingManager <int,
! 2: Framework::Callback *,
! 3: Mutex> framework_callbacks;
! @end example
!
! Here, line 1 is analyzed as a @code{topmost-intro}, but lines 2 and 3

! that closes the inner substatement block, and is therefore given the

!
! @ssindex substatement

!
! @ssindex substatement-label
! Line 8 contains a label, which is normally given @code{label} syntax.
! This one is however a bit special since it's between a conditional and
! its substatement. It's analyzed as @code{substatement-label} to let you
! handle this rather odd case differently from normal labels.
!
! @ssindex else-clause
! @ssindex catch-clause
! Line 7 start with an @code{else} that matches the @code{if} statement on

! @code{catch} and (in Java) @code{finally}, are marked with
! @code{catch-clause}.
!
! @ssindex do-while-closure
! The @code{while} construct on line 14 that closes a @code{do}
! conditional is given the special syntax @code{do-while-closure} if it
! appears on a line by itself. Note that if the @code{while} appeared on

! @cindex brace lists
! There are a set of syntactic symbols that are used to recognize
! constructs inside of brace lists. A brace list is defined as an
! @code{enum} or aggregate initializer list, such as might statically
! initialize an array of structs. The three special aggregate constructs
! in Pike, @code{(@{ @})}, @code{([ ])} and @code{(< >)}, are treated as
! brace lists too. An example:
!
! @example
! 1: static char* ingredients[] =
! 2: @{
! 3: "Ham",
! 4: "Salt",
! 5: NULL
! 6: @};
! @end example
!
! @ssindex brace-list-open
! @ssindex brace-list-intro
! @ssindex brace-list-close
! @ssindex brace-list-entry
! Following convention, line 2 in this example is assigned
! @code{brace-list-open} syntax, and line 3 is assigned
! @code{brace-list-intro} syntax. Likewise, line 6 is assigned
! @code{brace-list-close} syntax. Lines 4 and 5 however, are assigned
! @code{brace-list-entry} syntax, as would all subsequent lines in this
! initializer list.
!
! @ssindex brace-entry-open
! Your static initializer might be initializing nested structures, for
! example:
!
! @example
! 1: struct intpairs[] =
! 2: @{
! 3: @{ 1, 2 @},
! 4: @{
! 5: 3,
! 6: 4
! 7: @}
! 8: @{ 1,
! 9: 2 @},
! 10: @{ 3, 4 @}
! 11: @};
! @end example
!
! Here, you've already seen the analysis of lines 1, 2, 3, and 11. On
! line 4, things get interesting; this line is assigned
! @code{brace-entry-open} syntactic symbol because it's a bracelist entry
! line that starts with an open brace. Lines 5 and 6 (and line 9) are
! pretty standard, and line 7 is a @code{brace-list-close} as you'd
! expect. Once again, line 8 is assigned as @code{brace-entry-open} as is
! line 10.

!
! @ssindex arglist-intro
! @ssindex arglist-close
! Lines 5 and 12 are assigned @code{arglist-intro} syntax since they are

! assigned @code{arglist-close} syntax since they contain the parenthesis
! that closes the argument list.
!
! @ssindex arglist-cont-nonempty
! @ssindex arglist-cont
! Lines that continue argument lists can be assigned one of two syntactic
! symbols. For example, Lines 2 and 17
! are assigned @code{arglist-cont-nonempty} syntax. What this means
! is that they continue an argument list, but that the line containing the
! parenthesis that opens the list is @emph{not empty} following the open
! parenthesis. Contrast this against lines 6 and 13 which are assigned
! @code{arglist-cont} syntax. This is because the parenthesis that opens
! their argument lists is the last character on that line.
!
! Syntactic elements with @code{arglist-intro},
! @code{arglist-cont-nonempty}, and @code{arglist-close} contain two
! buffer positions: the anchor position (the beginning of the
! declaration or statement) and the position of the open parenthesis.
! The latter position can be used in a line-up function (@pxref{Line-Up
! Functions}).
!
! Note that there is no @code{arglist-open} syntax. This is because any
! parenthesis that opens an argument list, appearing on a separate line,
! is assigned the @code{statement-cont} syntax instead.

! Multiline preprocessor macro definitions are normally handled just like
! other code, i.e. the lines inside them are indented according to the
! syntactic analysis of the preceding lines inside the macro. The first
! line inside a macro definition (i.e. the line after the starting line of

!
! @noindent
! line 1 is given the syntactic symbol @code{cpp-macro}. The first line
! of a cpp directive is always given that symbol. Line 2 is given
! @code{cpp-define-intro}, so that you can give the macro body as a whole

! on line 5.
!

! @comment !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
! There are a few occasions where a statement block might be used inside
! an expression. One is in C or C++ code using the gcc extension for
! this, e.g:
@example
! 1: int res = (@{
! 2: int y = foo (); int z;
! 3: if (y > 0) z = y; else z = - y;
! 4: z;
! 5: @});
@end example
! @ssindex inexpr-statement
! Lines 2 and 5 get the @code{inexpr-statement} syntax, besides the
! symbols they'd get in a normal block. Therefore, the indentation put on
! @code{inexpr-statement} is added to the normal statement block
! indentation. An @code{inexpr-statement} syntactic element doesn't
! contain an anchor position.
! In Pike code, there are a few other situations where blocks occur inside
! statements, as illustrated here:
!
! @example
! 1: array itgob()
! 2: @{
! 3: string s = map (backtrace()[-2][3..],
! 4: lambda
! 5: (mixed arg)
! 6: @{
! 7: return sprintf ("%t", arg);

! 11: @};
! 12: @}
! @end example
!
! @ssindex inlambda
! @ssindex lambda-intro-cont
! Lines 4 through 8 contain a lambda function, which @ccmode{} recognizes
! by the @code{lambda} keyword. If the function argument list is put
! on a line of its own, as in line 5, it gets the @code{lambda-intro-cont}
! syntax. The function body is handled as an inline method body, with the
! addition of the @code{inlambda} syntactic symbol. This means that line
! 6 gets @code{inlambda} and @code{inline-open}, and line 8 gets
! @address@hidden might wonder why it doesn't get
! @code{inlambda} too. It's because the closing brace is relative to the
! opening brace, which stands on its own line in this example. If the
! opening brace was hanging on the previous line, then the closing brace
! would get the @code{inlambda} syntax too to be indented correctly.}.
!
! @ssindex inexpr-statement
! On line 9, @code{catch} is a special function taking a statement block
! as its argument. The block is handled as an in-expression statement
! with the @code{inexpr-statement} syntax, just like the gcc extended C
! example above. The other similar special function, @code{gauge}, is
! handled like this too.

Basics

! @section Indentation Calculation
! @cindex indentation
! @comment !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!
! Indentation for a line is calculated from the syntactic context
! (@pxref{Syntactic Analysis}).
!
! First, a buffer position is found whose column will be the base for the
! indentation calculation. It's the anchor position in the first
! syntactic element that provides one that is used. If no syntactic
! element has an anchor position then column zero is used.
!
! Second, the syntactic symbols in each syntactic element are looked up
! in the @code{c-offsets-alist} style variable
! (@pxref{c-offsets-alist}), which is an association list of syntactic
! symbols and the offsets to apply for those symbols. These offsets are
! added together with the base column to produce the new indentation
! column.
!
! Let's use our two code examples above to see how this works. Here is
! our first example again:
@example
! 1: void swap( int& a, int& b )
! 2: @{
! 3: int tmp = a;
! 4: a = b;
! 5: b = tmp;
! 6: @}
@end example
! Let's say point is on line 3 and we hit the @kbd{TAB} key to reindent
! the line. The syntactic context for that line is:
@example
! ((defun-block-intro 29))
@end example
! @noindent
! Since buffer position 29 is the first and only anchor position in the
! list, @ccmode{} goes there and asks for the current column. This brace
! is in column zero, so @ccmode{} uses @samp{0} as the base column.
! Next, @ccmode{} looks up @code{defun-block-intro} in the
! @code{c-offsets-alist} style variable. Let's say it finds the value
! @samp{4}; it adds this to the base column @samp{0}, yielding a running
! total indentation of 4 spaces.
!
! Since there is only one syntactic element on the list for this line,
! indentation calculation is complete, and the total indentation for the
! line is 4 spaces.
!
! Here's another example:
@example
! 1: int add( int val, int incr, int doit )
! 2: @{
! 3: if( doit )
! 4: @{
! 5: return( val + incr );
! 6: @}
! 7: return( val );
! 8: @}
@end example
! If we were to hit @kbd{TAB} on line 4 in the above example, the same
! basic process is performed, despite the differences in the syntactic
! context. The context for this line is:
@example
! ((substatement-open 46))
@end example
! Here, @ccmode{} goes to buffer position 46, which is the @samp{i} in
! @code{if} on line 3. This character is in the fourth column on that
! line so the base column is @samp{4}. Then @ccmode{} looks up the
! @code{substatement-open} symbol in @code{c-offsets-alist}. Let's say it
! finds the value @samp{4}. It's added with the base column and yields an
! indentation for the line of 8 spaces.
!
! Simple, huh?
!
! Actually, it's a bit more complicated than that since the entries on
! @code{c-offsets-alist} can be much more than plain offsets.
! @xref{c-offsets-alist}, for the full story.
!
! Anyway, the mode usually just does The Right Thing without you having to
! think about it in this much detail. But when customizing indentation,
! it's helpful to understand the general indentation model being used.
!
! As you configure @ccmode{}, you might want to set the variable
! @code{c-echo-syntactic-information-p} to address@hidden so that the
! syntactic context and calculated offset always is echoed in the
! minibuffer when you hit @kbd{TAB}.

!
! The principal variable for customizing indentation is the style
! variable @code{c-offsets-alist}, which gives an @dfn{offset} (an
! indentation rule) for each syntactic symbol. Its structure and
! semantics are completely described in @ref{c-offsets-alist}. The
! various ways you can set the variable, including the use of the
! @ccmode{} style system, are described in @ref{Config Basics} and its
! sections, in particular @ref{Style Variables}.
!
! The simplest and most used kind of ``offset'' setting in
! @code{c-offsets-alist} is in terms of multiples of
! @code{c-basic-offset}:
!
! @defopt c-basic-offset
! @vindex basic-offset (c-)
! This style variable holds the basic offset between indentation levels.
! It's factory default is 4, but all the built-in styles set it
! themselves, to some value between 2 (for @code{gnu} style) and 8 (for
! @code{bsd}, @code{linux}, and @code{python} styles).
! @end defopt
! The most flexible ``offset'' setting you can make in
! @code{c-offsets-alist} is a line-up function (or even a list of them),
! either one supplied by @ccmode{} (@pxref{Line-Up Functions}) or one
! you write yourself (@pxref{Custom Line-Up}).
!
! Finally, in @ref{Other Indentation} you'll find the tool of last
! resort: a hook which is called after a line has been indented. You
! can install functions here to make ad-hoc adjustments to any line's
! indentation.

! This section explains the structure and semantics of the style
! variable @code{c-offset-alist}, the principal variable for configuring
! indentation. Details of how to set it up, and its relationship to
! @ccmode{}'s style system are given in @ref{Style Variables}.
!
! @defopt c-offsets-alist
! @vindex offsets-alist (c-)
! This is an alist which associates an offset with each syntactic
! symbol. This @dfn{offset} is a rule specifying how to indent a line
! whose syntactic context matches the symbol. @xref{Syntactic
! Analysis}.
!
! Note that the buffer-local binding of this alist in a @ccmode{} buffer
! contains an entry for @emph{every} syntactic symbol. Its global
! binding and its settings within style specifications usually contain
! only a few entries. @xref{Style Variables}.
!
! The offset specification associated with any particular syntactic
! symbol can be an integer, a variable name, a vector, a function or
! lambda expression, a list, or one of the following special symbols:
! @code{+}, @code{-}, @code{++}, @code{--}, @code{*}, or @code{/}. The
! meanings of these values are described in detail below.
!
! Here is an example fragment of a @code{c-offsets-alist}, showing some
! of these kinds of offsets:
!
! @example
! ((statement . 0)
! (substatement . +)
! (cpp-macro . [0])
! (topmost-intro-cont . c-lineup-topmost-intro-cont)
! (statement-block-intro . (add c-lineup-whitesmith-in-block
! c-indent-multi-line-block))
! @dots{}
! @*)
@end example
+ @end defopt
! @deffn Command c-set-offset (@kbd{C-c C-o})
! @findex set-offset (c-)
! @kindex C-c C-o
! This command changes the entry for a syntactic symbol in the current
! binding of @code{c-offsets-alist}, or it inserts a new entry if there
! isn't already one for that syntactic symbol.
!
! You can use @code{c-set-offsets} interactively within a @ccmode{}
! buffer to make experimental changes to your indentation settings.
! @kbd{C-c C-o} prompts you for the syntactic symbol to change
! (defaulting to that of the current line) and the new offset
! (defaulting to the current offset).
!
! @code{c-set-offsets} takes two arguments when used programmatically:
! @var{symbol}, the syntactic element symbol to change and @var{offset},
! the new offset for that syntactic element. You can call the command
! in your @file{.emacs} to change the global binding of
! @code{c-offsets-alist} (@pxref{Style Variables}); you can use it in a
! hook function to make changes from the current style. @ccmode{}
! itself uses this function when initializing styles.
! @end deffn
! @cindex offset specification
! The ``offset specifications'' in @code{c-offsets-alist} can be any of
! the following:
! @table @asis
! @item An integer
! The integer specifies a relative offset. All relative
! address@hidden syntactic context @address@hidden((defun-block-intro
! 2724) (comment-intro))}} would likely have two relative offsets.} will
! be added together and used to calculate the indentation relative to an
! anchor position earlier in the buffer. @xref{Indentation
! Calculation}, for details. Most of the time, it's probably better to
! use one of the special symbols like @code{+} than an integer (apart
! from zero).
! @item One of the symbols @code{+}, @code{-}, @code{++}, @code{--}, @code{*},
or @code{/}
! These special symbols describe a relative offset in multiples of
! @code{c-basic-offset}:
! By defining a style's indentation in terms of @code{c-basic-offset},
! you can change the amount of whitespace given to an indentation level
! while maintaining the same basic shape of your code. Here are the
! values that the special symbols correspond to:
! @table @code
! @item +
! @code{c-basic-offset} times 1
! @item -
! @code{c-basic-offset} times -1
! @item ++
! @code{c-basic-offset} times 2
! @item --
! @code{c-basic-offset} times -2
! @item *
! @code{c-basic-offset} times 0.5
! @item /
! @code{c-basic-offset} times -0.5
! @end table
! @item A vector
! The first element of the vector, an integer, sets the absolute
! indentation column. This will override any previously calculated
! indentation, but won't override relative indentation calculated from
! syntactic elements later on in the syntactic context of the line being
! indented. @xref{Indentation Calculation}. Any elements in the vector
! beyond the first will be ignored.
!
! @item A function or lambda expression
! The function will be called and its return value will in turn be
! evaluated as an offset specification. Functions are useful when more
! context than just the syntactic symbol is needed to get the desired
! indentation. @xref{Line-Up Functions}, and @ref{Custom Line-Up}, for
! details about them.
!
! @item A symbol with a variable binding
! If the symbol also has a function binding, the function takes
! precedence over the variable. Otherwise the value of the variable is
! used. It must be an integer (which is used as relative offset) or a
! vector (an absolute offset).
!
! @item A list
! The offset can also be a list containing several offset
! specifications; these are evaluated recursively and combined. A list
! is typically only useful when some of the offsets are line-up
! functions. A common strategy is calling a sequence of functions in
! turn until one of them recognizes that it is appropriate for the
! source line and returns a address@hidden value.
!
! @code{nil} values are always ignored when the offsets are combined.
! The first element of the list specifies the method of combining the
! address@hidden offsets from the remaining elements:
! @table @code
! @item first
! Use the first offset that doesn't evaluate to @code{nil}. Subsequent
! elements of the list don't get evaluated.
! @item min
! Use the minimum of all the offsets. All must be either relative or
! absolute - they can't be mixed.
! @item max
! Use the maximum of all the offsets. All must be either relative or
! absolute - they can't be mixed.
! @item add
! Add all the evaluated offsets together. Exactly one of them may be
! absolute, in which case the result is absolute. Any relative offsets
! that preceded the absolute one in the list will be ignored in that case.
! @end table
! As a compatibility measure, if the first element is none of the above
! then it too will be taken as an offset specification and the whole list
! will be combined according to the method @code{first}.
! @end table
! @vindex c-strict-syntax-p
! @vindex strict-syntax-p (c-)
! If an offset specification evaluates to @code{nil}, then a relative
! offset of 0 (zero) is address@hidden is however a variable
! @code{c-strict-syntax-p} that when set to address@hidden will cause an
! error to be signaled in that case. It's now considered obsolete since
! it doesn't work well with some of the alignment functions that returns
! @code{nil} instead of zero. You should therefore leave
! @code{c-strict-syntax-p} set to @code{nil}.}.

! indicated. @xref{Styles}.}:
@example

2: @{
! 3: if( doit )
! 4: @{
! 5: return( val + incr );
! 6: @}
! 7: return( val );
! 8: @}
! @end group
@end example
! In other words, we want to change the indentation of braces that open a
! block following a condition so that the braces line up under the
! conditional, instead of being indented. Notice that the construct we
! want to change starts on line 4. To change the indentation of a line,
! we need to see which syntactic symbols affect the offset calculations
! for that line. Hitting @kbd{C-c C-s} on line 4 yields:
! @example
! ((substatement-open 44))
! @end example
!
! @noindent
! so we know that to change the offset of the open brace, we need to
! change the indentation for the @code{substatement-open} syntactic
! symbol.
!
! To do this interactively, just hit @kbd{C-c C-o}. This prompts
! you for the syntactic symbol to change, providing a reasonable default.
! In this case, the default is @code{substatement-open}, which is just the
! syntactic symbol we want to change!
!
! After you hit return, @ccmode{} will then prompt you for the new
! offset value, with the old value as the default. The default in this
! case is @samp{+}, but we want no extra indentation so enter
! @samp{0} and @kbd{RET}. This will associate the offset 0 with the
! syntactic symbol @code{substatement-open}.
!
! To check your changes quickly, just hit @kbd{C-c C-q}
! (@code{c-indent-defun}) to reindent the entire function. The example
! should now look like:
@example
! @group
! 1: int add( int val, int incr, int doit )
2: @{
! 3: if( doit )
! 4: @{
! 5: return( val + incr );
! 6: @}
! 7: return( val );
! 8: @}
! @end group
@end example
! Notice how just changing the open brace offset on line 4 is all we
! needed to do. Since the other affected lines are indented relative to
! line 4, they are automatically indented the way you'd expect. For more
! complicated examples, this might not always work. The general approach
! to take is to always start adjusting offsets for lines higher up in the
! file, then reindent and see if any following lines need further
! adjustments.

! @cindex line-up function
! @cindex indentation function
! Often there are cases when a simple offset setting on a syntactic
! symbol isn't enough to get the desired indentation---for example, you
! might want to line up a closing parenthesis with the matching opening
! one rather than indenting relative to its ``anchor point''. @ccmode{}
! provides this flexibility with @dfn{line-up functions}.
!
! The way you associate a line-up function with a syntactic symbol is
! described in @ref{c-offsets-alist}. @ccmode{} comes with many
! predefined line-up functions for common situations. If none of these
! does what you want, you can write your own. @xref{Custom Line-Up}.
! Sometimes, it is easier to tweak the standard indentation by adding a
! function to @code{c-special-indent-hook} (@pxref{Other Indentation}).
!
! The line-up functions haven't been adapted for AWK buffers or tested
! with them. Some of them might work serendipitously. There shouldn't be
! any problems writing custom line-up functions for AWK mode.
!
! The calling convention for line-up functions is described fully in
! @ref{Custom Line-Up}. Roughly speaking, the return value is either an
! offset itself (such as @code{+} or @code{[0]}) or it's @code{nil},
! meaning ``this function is inappropriate in this case - try a
! different one''. @xref{c-offsets-alist}.
!
! The subsections below describe all the standard line-up functions,

! Compensate for Whitesmith style indentation of blocks. Due to the way

@example
! @group

@example

! The fact that the line with @code{x} is preceded by a Whitesmith style
! indented block in the latter case and not the first should not affect
! its indentation. But since CC Mode in cases like this uses the
! indentation of the preceding statement as anchor position, the @code{x}
! would in the second case be indented too much if the offset for
! @code{statement} was set simply to zero.
! This lineup function corrects for this situation by detecting if the
! anchor position is at an open paren character. In that case, it instead
! indents relative to the surrounding block just like
! @code{c-lineup-whitesmith-in-block}.

- If @code{c-syntactic-indentation-in-macros} is address@hidden, the
- function returns the relative indentation to the macro start line to
- allow accumulation with other offsets. e.g., in the following cases,
- @code{cpp-define-intro} is combined with the
- @code{statement-block-intro} that comes from the @samp{do @{} that hangs
- on the @samp{#define} line:
! @example
! @group
! const char msg[] =
! \"Some text.\";
! #define X(A, B) do @{ \
! printf (A, B); \ @hereFn{c-lineup-cpp-define}

! printf (A, B); \ @hereFn{c-lineup-cpp-define}
! this->refs++; \
! @} while (0) @hereFn{c-lineup-cpp-define}
@end group
@end example
- The relative indentation returned by @code{c-lineup-cpp-define} is zero
- and two, respectively, on the two lines in each of these examples. They
- are then added to the two column indentation that
- @code{statement-block-intro} gives in both cases here.
-
- If the relative indentation is zero, then @code{nil} is returned
- instead. That is useful in a list expression to specify the default
- indentation on the top level.
-
- If @code{c-syntactic-indentation-in-macros} is @code{nil} then this
- function keeps the current indentation, except for empty lines (ignoring
- the ending backslash) where it takes the indentation from the closest
- preceding nonempty line in the macro. If there's no such line in the
- macro then the indentation is taken from the construct preceding it, as
- described above.

! @node AWK Mode, Odds and Ends, Indentation Functions, Top
! @comment node-name, next, previous, up
! @chapter Status of AWK Mode
! @comment !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!
! @dfn{AWK mode} existed until recently in the file @file{awk-mode.el}
! as a mode derived from c-mode. It had not been actively maintained to
! keep pace with the newer @ccmode{}, and its indentation mechanism no
! longer worked satisfactorally.
!
! The current AWK mode is based around the GNU implementation,
! @emph{GAWK version 3.1.0}, though it should work pretty well with any
! AWK. It has now been updated and integrated into @ccmode{} to a
! substantial extent, though as yet not all the features of @ccmode{}
! have been adapted to support it.
!
! If your (X)Emacs is set up to use the old file @file{awk-mode.elc}
! (which will usually be the case if you have obtained this @ccmode{}
! independently of (X)Emacs itself), or if you are not sure, insert the
! following form into your @file{.emacs} or @file{init.el} so that the new
! AWK mode will be used instead:
!
! @example
! (autoload 'awk-mode "cc-mode" nil t)
! @end example
!
! You can check which AWK mode you are running by displaying the mode
! documentation string with @kbd{C-h m} from an AWK buffer. The newer
! mode's doc string contains @code{To submit a problem report, enter
! `C-c C-b'} near the top of the doc string where the older mode has
! @code{This is much like C mode except ....}.
!
! Since this newer AWK mode makes essential use of a relatively new
! Emacs Lisp address@hidden, the @code{syntax-table} text
! property.}, you need either GNU Emacs 20.1 (or later) or XEmacs 21.4
! (or later) to use it. If your Emacs version is earlier than one of
! these, the older @file{awk-mode.el} will get loaded and run in place
! of the AWK mode described here, even when you have put the above
! @code{autoload} form into your @file{.emacs} or @file{init.el}.
! Upgrading your (X)Emacs is strongly recommended if this is the case.
!
! Here is an overview of which @ccmode{} features currently work with
! AWK mode and which don't:
!
! @table @asis
! @item Indentation Engine
! The @ccmode{} indentation engine fully supports AWK mode.
! @xref{Indentation Engine}.
!
! AWK mode handles code formatted in the conventional AWK fashion:
! @address@hidden which start actions, user-defined functions, or compound
! statements are placed on the same line as the associated construct; the
! matching @address@hidden are normally placed under the start of the
! respective pattern, function definition, or structured statement.
! @c Add in a bit about the @address@hidden being on the same line when the
! @c contents are short.
!
! The predefined indentation functions (@pxref{Indentation Functions})
! haven't yet been adapted for AWK mode, though some of them may work
! serendipitously. There shouldn't be any problems writing custom
! indentation functions for AWK mode.
!
! The command @kbd{C-c C-q} (@code{c-indent-defun}) hasn't yet been
! adapted for AWK, though in practice it works properly nearly all the
! time. Should it fail, explicitly set the region around the function
! (using @kbd{C-u C-SPC}: @kbd{C-M-h} probably won't work either) then do
! @kbd{C-M-\} (@code{indent-region}).
!
! @item Font Locking
! There is a single level of font locking in AWK mode, rather than the
! three distinct levels the other modes have. There are several
! idiosyncrasies in AWK mode's font-locking due to the peculiarities of
! the AWK language itself. @xref{AWK Mode Font Locking}.
!
! @item Comment Commands
! @kbd{M-;} (@code{indent-for-comment}) works fine. None of the other
! @ccmode{} comment formatting commands have yet been adapted for AWK
! mode. @xref{Text Filling and Line Breaking}.
!
! @item Movement Commands
! Most of the movement commands work in AWK mode. The most important
! exceptions are @kbd{M-a} (@code{c-beginning-of-statement}) and
! @kbd{M-e} (@code{c-end-of-statement}) which haven't yet been adapted.
!
! The notion of @dfn{defun} has been augmented to include pattern-action
! pairs. See @ref{AWK Mode Defuns} for a description of commands which
! work on AWK ``defuns''.
!
! Since there is no preprocessor in AWK, the commands which move to
! preprocessor directives (e.g., @code{c-up-conditional}) are meaningless
! in AWK mode and are not bound in the AWK mode keymap.
!
! @item Auto-newline Insertion and Clean-ups
! Auto-newline insertion hasn't yet been adapted for AWK. Some of the
! clean-ups can actually convert good AWK code into syntactically
! invalid code.
!
! If auto-newline or its associated clean-ups are enabled generally for
! the modes in @ccmode{}, you are strongly recommended to disable them
! in the AWK Mode hook. @xref{Initialising AWK Mode}.

! Much of the AWK mode initialization can, of course, be done by the
! @ccmode{} general initialization procedure. You may want to use certain
! @ccmode{} features such as @code{auto-newline} and @code{clean-ups} in
! the other modes, and you might thus have enabled them in a
! @code{c-mode-common-hook} function, as described in @ref{Sample .emacs File}.
! These features have not yet been amended for AWK mode, and far from
! being useful, can be irritating in AWK mode or actually make AWK code
! syntactically invalid. Adding the following code to your
! @file{.emacs} or @file{init.el} file will disable them for AWK mode.
!
! @example
! (defun my-awk-mode-hook ()

! The general appearance of font-locking in AWK mode is much like in any
! other programming mode. @xref{Faces For Font Lock,,,elisp}.
! The following faces are, however, used in a non-standard fashion in
! AWK mode:
! @table @asis
! @item @code{font-lock-variable-name-face}
! This face was intended for variable declarations. Since variables are
! not declared in AWK, this face is used instead for AWK system
! variables (such as @code{NF}) and ``Special File Names'' (such as
! @code{"/dev/stderr"}).
! @item @code{font-lock-builtin-face}
(Emacs)/@code{font-lock-preprocessor-face} (XEmacs)
! This face is normally used for preprocessor directives in @ccmode{}.
! There are no such things in AWK, so this face is used instead for
! standard functions (such as @code{match}).
! @item @code{font-lock-string-face}
! As well as being used for strings, including localizable strings,
! (delimited by @samp{"} and @samp{_"}), this face is also used for AWK
! regular expressions (delimited by @samp{/}).
! @item @code{font-lock-warning-face} (Emacs)/@code{c-invalid-face} (XEmacs)
! This face highlights the following syntactically invalid AWK
! constructs:
! @itemize @bullet
! @item
! An unterminated string or regular expression. Here the opening
! delimiter (@samp{"} or @samp{/} or @samp{_"}) is displayed in
! @code{font-lock-warning-face}. This is most noticeable when typing in a
! new string/regular expression into a buffer, when the warning-face
! serves as a continual reminder to terminate the construct.
! AWK mode fontifies unterminated strings/regular expressions
! differently from other modes: Only the text up to the end of the line
! is fontified as a string (escaped newlines being handled correctly),
! rather than the text up to the next string quote.
- @item
- A space between the function name and opening parenthesis when calling

! In AWK mode, @dfn{defun} means either a user-defined function or a
! pattern-action pair. Either the pattern or the action may be
! implicit.
!
! The beginning of a defun is recognised heuristically as, more or less,
! code which begins in column zero. Having the @address@hidden in column zero,
! as is suggested for some modes, is neither necessary nor helpful in AWK
! mode.
!
! More precisely, the beginning of a defun is code which begins in
! column zero, and which isn't a closing brace, a comment, or a
! continuation of the previous line. Code is the @dfn{continuation of
! the previous line} when that line is syntactically incomplete, for
! example when it ends with @address@hidden or an escaped newline.
!
! The end of a defun is the @address@hidden which matches the @address@hidden
(if
! any) at the beginning of the action or function body, or the EOL or
! @samp{;} which marks an implicit action. Although this @address@hidden is
! usually placed in column zero, AWK mode doesn't need it to be placed
! there.

Indentation
+ @comment node-name, next, previous, up
+ @section Custom Line-Up Functions
+ @cindex customization, indentation functions
+ @comment !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
! The most flexible way to customize indentation is by writing custom
! line-up functions, and associating them with specific syntactic
! symbols (@pxref{c-offsets-alist}). Depending on the effect you want,
! it might be better to write a @code{c-special-indent-hook} function
! rather than a line-up function (@pxref{Other Indentation}).
!
! @ccmode{} comes with an extensive set of predefined line-up functions,
! not all of which are used by the default styles. So there's a good
! chance the function you want already exists. @xref{Line-Up
! Functions}, for a list of them. If you write your own line-up
! function, it's probably a good idea to start working from one of these
! predefined functions, which can be found in the file
! @file{cc-align.el}. If you have written a line-up function that you
! think is generally useful, you're very welcome to contribute it;
! please contact @email{bug-cc-mode@@gnu.org}.
!
! Line-up functions are passed a single argument, the syntactic
! element (see below). The return value is a @code{c-offsets-alist}
! offset specification: for example, an integer, a symbol such as
! @code{+}, a vector, @address@hidden @code{nil} is useful
! when the offset specification for a syntactic element is a list
! containing the line-up function (@pxref{c-offsets-alist}).}, or even
! another line-up function. Full details of these are in
! @ref{c-offsets-alist}.
!
! Line-up functions must not move point or change the content of the
! buffer (except temporarily). They are however allowed to do
! @dfn{hidden buffer changes}, i.e. setting text properties for caching
! purposes etc. Buffer undo recording is disabled while they run.
! The syntactic element passed as the parameter to a line-up function is
! a cons cell of the form
! @example
! (@address@hidden . @address@hidden)
@end example
! @noindent
! @c FIXME!!! The following sentence might be better omitted, since the
! @c information is in the cross reference "Syntactic Analysis". 2005/10/2.
! where @var{syntactic-symbol} is the symbol that the function was
! called for, and @var{anchor-position} is the anchor position (if any)
! for the construct that triggered the syntactic symbol
! (@pxref{Syntactic Analysis}). This cons cell is how the syntactic
! element of a line used to be represented in @ccmode{} 5.28 and
! earlier. Line-up functions are still passed this cons cell, so as to
! preserve compatibility with older configurations. In the future, we
! may decide to convert to using the full list format---you can prepare
! your setup for this by using the access functions
! (@code{c-langelem-sym}, etc.) described below.
!
! @vindex c-syntactic-element
! @vindex syntactic-element (c-)
! @vindex c-syntactic-context
! @vindex syntactic-context (c-)
! Some syntactic symbols, e.g. @code{arglist-cont-nonempty}, have more
! info in the syntactic element - typically other positions that can be
! interesting besides the anchor position. That info can't be accessed
! through the passed argument, which is a cons cell. Instead, you can
! get this information from the variable @code{c-syntactic-element},
! which is dynamically bound to the complete syntactic element. The
! variable @code{c-syntactic-context} might also be useful - it gets
! dynamically bound to the complete syntactic context. @xref{Custom
! Braces}.
!
! @ccmode{} provides a few functions to access parts of syntactic
! elements in a more abstract way. Besides making the code easier to
! read, they also hide the difference between the old cons cell form
! used in the line-up function argument and the new list form used in
! @code{c-syntactic-element} and everywhere else. The functions are:
!
! @defun c-langelem-sym langelem
! @findex langelem-sym (c-)
! Return the syntactic symbol in @var{langelem}.
! @end defun
! @defun c-langelem-pos langelem
! @findex langelem-pos (c-)
! Return the anchor position in @var{langelem}, or nil if there is none.
! @end defun
! @defun c-langelem-col langelem &optional preserve-point
! @findex langelem-col (c-)
! Return the column of the anchor position in @var{langelem}. Also move
! the point to that position unless @var{preserve-point} is
! address@hidden
! @end defun
! @defun c-langelem-2nd-pos langelem
! @findex langelem-2nd-pos (c-)
! Return the secondary position in @var{langelem}, or @code{nil} if there
! is none.
!
! Note that the return value of this function is always @code{nil} if
! @var{langelem} is in the old cons cell form. Thus this function is
! only meaningful when used on syntactic elements taken from
! @code{c-syntactic-element} or @code{c-syntactic-context}.
! @end defun
! Custom line-up functions can be as simple or as complex as you like, and
! any syntactic symbol that appears in @code{c-offsets-alist} can have a
! custom line-up function associated with it.

! @vindex label-minimum-indentation (c-)

! imposed on lines inside code blocks. This minimum indentation is

!
! @findex c-gnu-impose-minimum

! @end defopt
! @defopt c-special-indent-hook
! @vindex special-indent-hook (c-)
! This style variable is a standard hook variable that is called after
! every line is indented by @ccmode{}. It is called only if
! @code{c-syntactic-indentation} is address@hidden (which it is by
! default (@pxref{Indentation Engine Basics})). You can put a function
! on this hook to do any special indentation or ad hoc line adjustments
! your style dictates, such as adding extra indentation to constructors
! or destructor declarations in a class definition, etc. Sometimes it
! is better to write a custom Line-up Function instead (@pxref{Custom
! Line-Up}).
!
! When the indentation engine calls this hook, the variable
! @code{c-syntactic-context} is bound to the current syntactic context
! (i.e. what you would get by typing @kbd{C-c C-s} on the source line.
! @xref{Custom Braces}.). Note that you should not change point or mark
! inside a @code{c-special-indent-hook} function, i.e. you'll probably
! want to wrap your function in a @address@hidden
! numerical value returned by @code{point} will change if you change the
! indentation of the line within a @code{save-excursion} form, but point
! itself will still be over the same piece of text.}.
!
! Setting @code{c-special-indent-hook} in style definitions is handled
! slightly differently from other variables---A style can only add
! functions to this hook, not remove them. @xref{Style Variables}.

Font locking can be a CPU hog, especially the font locking done on
decoration level 3 which tries to be very accurate. Note that that
level is designed to be used with a font lock support mode that only
! fontifies the text that's actually shown, i.e., Lazy Lock or Just-in-time
Lock mode, so make sure you use one of them. Fontification of a whole
buffer with some thousand lines can often take over a minute. That is
a known weakness; the idea is that it never should happen.

Emacs' convention is that @kbd{RET} just adds a newline, and that
@kbd{C-j} adds a newline and indents it. You can make @kbd{RET} do this
! too by adding this to your @code{c-mode-common-hook}:
@example
(define-key c-mode-base-map "\C-m" 'c-context-line-break)

@file{.emacs} file but I get an error saying that @code{c-set-offset}'s

! This means that @ccmode{} wasn't loaded into your Emacs session by the
! time the @code{c-set-offset} call was reached, most likely because
! @ccmode{} is being autoloaded. Instead of putting the
! @code{c-set-offset} line in your top-level @file{.emacs} file, put it in

-
- Use @kbd{C-M-f} and @kbd{C-M-b} to move over balanced brace blocks. Use
- @kbd{M-a} and @kbd{M-e} to move by statements, which will also move into
- blocks.

-
- This is a common error when @ccmode{} hasn't been compiled correctly,
- especially under Emacs address@hidden, it's because some
- macro wasn't defined during the compilation, so the byte compiler put
- in function calls instead of the macro expansions. Later, when the
