113 Welcome to @ccmode{}. This is a GNU Emacs mode for editing files
|
|
177
|
114 containing C, C++, Objective-C, Java, and IDL code. This incarnation of
|
|
|
115 the mode is descendant from @file{c-mode.el} (also called "Boring Old C
|
|
165
|
116 Mode" or BOCM @code{:-)}, and @file{c++-mode.el} version 2, which I have
|
|
|
117 been maintaining since 1992. @ccmode{} represents a significant
|
|
|
118 milestone in the mode's life. It has been fully merged back with Emacs
|
|
|
119 19's @file{c-mode.el}. Also a new, more intuitive and flexible mechanism
|
|
|
120 for controlling indentation has been developed.
|
|
|
121
|
|
|
122 @ccmode{} supports the editing of K&R and ANSI C, @dfn{ARM}
|
|
110
|
123 @footnote{``The Annotated C++ Reference Manual'', by Ellis and
|
|
177
|
124 Stroustrup.} C++, Objective-C, Java and IDL@footnote{CORBA's Interface
|
|
|
125 Definition Language} files. In this way, you can
|
|
110
|
126 easily set up consistent coding styles for use in editing all C, C++,
|
|
177
|
127 Objective-C, Java and IDL programs. @ccmode{} does @emph{not} handle
|
|
110
|
128 font-locking (a.k.a. syntax coloring, keyword highlighting) or anything
|
|
177
|
129 of that nature, for any of these modes. Font-locking is handled by other
|
|
110
|
130 Emacs packages.

161 to @ccmode{}. If you have a BOCM configuration you are really happy
|
|
|
162 with, and want to postpone learning how to configure @ccmode{}, take a
|
|
|
163 look at that file. It maps BOCM configuration variables to @ccmode{}'s
|
|
|
164 new indentation model. It is not actively supported so for the long
|
|
|
165 run, you should learn how to customize @ccmode{} to support your coding
|
|
|
166 style.

170 like to thank all the @ccmode{} victims who help enormously during the

183 If you got this version of @ccmode{} with Emacs or XEmacs, it should
|
|
|
184 work just fine right out of the box. Note however that you may not have
|
|
|
185 the latest @ccmode{} release and may want to upgrade your copy.
|
|
|
186
|
|
|
187 If you are upgrading an existing @ccmode{} installation, please see the
|
|
|
188 @file{README} file for installation details. @ccmode{} may not work
|

189 with older versions of Emacs or XEmacs. See the @ccmode{} release notes
|
|

190 Web pages for the latest information on Emacs version and package

222 @ccmode{} has a new indentation engine, providing a simplified, yet
|
|
|
223 flexible and general mechanism for customizing indentation. It separates
|
|
|
224 indentation calculation into two steps: first, @ccmode{} analyzes the
|
|
|
225 line of code being indented to determine the kind of language construct
|
|
|
226 it's looking at, then it applies user defined offsets to the current
|
|
|
227 line based on this analysis.
|
|
0
|
228
|
|
|
229 This section will briefly cover how indentation is calculated in
|
|
110
|
230 @ccmode{}. It is important to understand the indentation model
|
|
|
231 being used so that you will know how to customize @ccmode{} for
|
|
0
|
232 your personal coding style.

|
254 The first thing @ccmode{} does when indenting a line of code, is to
|
|
0
|
255 analyze the line, determining the @dfn{syntactic component list} of the
|
|
177
|
256 construct on that line. A syntactic component consists of a pair
|
|
0
|
257 of information (in lisp parlance, a @emph{cons cell}), where the first
|
|
|
258 part is a @dfn{syntactic symbol}, and the second part is a @dfn{relative
|
|
|
259 buffer position}. Syntactic symbols describe elements of C code
|
|
177
|
260 @footnote{or C++, Objective-C, Java or IDL code. In general, for the rest
|
|
0
|
261 of this manual I'll use the term ``C code'' to refer to all the C-like
|
|
|
262 dialects, unless otherwise noted.}, e.g. @code{statement},
|
|
|
263 @code{substatement}, @code{class-open}, @code{class-close}, etc.
|
|
|
264 @xref{Syntactic Symbols}, for a complete list of currently recognized
|
|
|
265 syntactic symbols and their semantics. The variable
|
|
|
266 @code{c-offsets-alist} also contains the list of currently supported
|
|
|
267 syntactic symbols.
|
|
|
268
|
|
|
269 Conceptually, a line of C code is always indented relative to the
|
|
|
270 indentation of some line higher up in the buffer. This is represented
|
|
|
271 by the relative buffer position in the syntactic component.
|
|
|
272
|
|
110
|
273 Here is an example. Suppose we had the following code as the only thing
|
|
|
274 in a @code{c++-mode} buffer @footnote{The line numbers in this and
|
|
|
275 future examples don't actually appear in the buffer, of course!}:
|
|
0
|
276 @example
|
|
|
277 @group
|
|
|
278
|
|
|
279 1: void swap( int& a, int& b )
|
|
|
280 2: @{
|
|
|
281 3: int tmp = a;
|
|
|
282 4: a = b;
|
|
|
283 5: b = tmp;
|
|
|
284 6: @}
|
|
|
285
|
|
|
286 @end group
|
|
|
287 @end example
|
|
|
288
|
|
|
289 @kindex C-c C-s
|
|
|
290 @findex c-show-syntactic-information
|
|
|
291 @findex show-syntactic-information (c-)
|
|
|
292 We can use the command @kbd{C-c C-s}
|
|
|
293 (@code{c-show-syntactic-information}) to simply report what the
|
|
|
294 syntactic analysis is for the current line. Running this command on
|
|
177
|
295 line 4 of this example, we'd see in the echo area@footnote{With a universal
|
|
2
|
296 argument (i.e. @kbd{C-u C-c C-s}) the analysis is inserted into the
|
|
|
297 buffer as a comment
|
|
|
298 on the current line.}:
|
|
0
|
299 @example
|
|
|
300
|
|
|
301 ((statement . 35))
|
|
|
302
|
|
|
303 @end example
|
|
|
304
|
|
|
305 This tells us that the line is a statement and it is indented relative
|
|
|
306 to buffer position 35, which happens to be the @samp{i} in @code{int} on
|
|
110
|
307 line 3. If you were to move point to line 3 and hit @kbd{C-c C-s}, you
|
|
0
|
308 would see:
|
|
|
309 @example
|
|
|
310
|
|
|
311 ((defun-block-intro . 29))
|
|
|
312
|
|
|
313 @end example
|
|
|
314
|
|
|
315 This indicates that the @samp{int} line is the first statement in a top
|
|
|
316 level function block, and is indented relative to buffer position 29,
|
|
|
317 which is the brace just after the function header.
|
|
|
318
|
|
|
319 Here's another example:
|
|
|
320 @example
|
|
|
321 @group
|
|
|
322
|
|
|
323 1: int add( int val, int incr, int doit )
|
|
|
324 2: @{
|
|
|
325 3: if( doit )
|
|
|
326 4: @{
|
|
|
327 5: return( val + incr );
|
|
|
328 6: @}
|
|
|
329 7: return( val );
|
|
|
330 8: @}
|
|
|
331
|
|
|
332 @end group
|
|
|
333 @end example
|
|
|
334
|
|
|
335 @noindent
|
|
|
336 Hitting @kbd{C-c C-s} on line 4 gives us:

|
|
337 @example
|
|
|
338
|
|
|
339 ((substatement-open . 46))

|
|
110
|
347 block. @footnote{A @dfn{substatement} indicates the line after a
|
|
|
348 conditional statement, such as @code{if}, @code{else}, @code{while},
|
|
|
349 @code{do}, @code{switch}, or @code{for} in C. A @dfn{substatement
|
|
|
350 block} is a brace block following one of those conditionals.}

353 Syntactic component lists can contain more than one component, and
|
|
|
354 individual syntactic components need not have relative buffer positions.
|
|
|
355 The most common example of this is a line that contains a @dfn{comment
|
|
|
356 only line}.
|
|
|
357 @example
|
|
|
358 @group
|
|

359
|
|
|
360 1: void draw_list( List<Drawables>& drawables )

362 3: // call the virtual draw() method on each element in list

363 4: for( int i=0; i < drawables.count(), ++i )
|

364 5: @{

373 Hitting @kbd{C-c C-s} on line 3 of this example gives:

|
381 and you can see that the syntactic component list contains two syntactic
|
|
0
|
382 components. Also notice that the first component,
|
|
|
383 @samp{(comment-intro)} has no relative buffer position.

|
|
|
395 Indentation for the current line is calculated using the syntactic
|
|
|
396 component list derived in step 1 above (see @ref{Syntactic Analysis}).
|
|
|
397 Each component contributes to the final total indentation of the line in
|
|
|
398 two ways.
|
|
|
399
|
|
|
400 First, the syntactic symbols are looked up in the @code{c-offsets-alist}
|
|
|
401 variable, which is an association list of syntactic symbols and the
|
|
2
|
402 offsets to apply for those symbols. These offsets are added to a
|
|
0
|
403 running total.
|
|
|
404
|
|
110
|
405 Second, if the component has a relative buffer position, @ccmode{}
|
|
0
|
406 adds the column number of that position to the running total. By adding
|
|
|
407 up the offsets and columns for every syntactic component on the list,
|
|
|
408 the final total indentation for the current line is computed.
|
|
|
409
|
|
|
410 Let's use our two code examples above to see how this works. Here is
|
|
|
411 our first example again:
|
|
|
412 @example
|
|
|
413 @group
|
|
|
414
|
|
|
415 1: void swap( int& a, int& b )
|
|
|
416 2: @{
|
|
|
417 3: int tmp = a;
|
|
|
418 4: a = b;
|
|
|
419 5: b = tmp;
|
|
|
420 6: @}
|
|
|
421
|
|
|
422 @end group
|
|
|
423 @end example
|
|
|
424
|
|
|
425 @kindex TAB
|
|
110
|
426 Let's say point is on line 3 and we hit the @key{TAB} key to re-indent
|
|
0
|
427 the line. Remember that the syntactic component list for that
|
|
|
428 line is:
|
|
|
429 @example
|
|
|
430
|
|
|
431 ((defun-block-intro . 29))
|
|
|
432
|
|
|
433 @end example
|
|
|
434
|
|
|
435 @noindent
|
|
110
|
436 @ccmode{} looks up @code{defun-block-intro} in the
|
|
0
|
437 @code{c-offsets-alist} variable. Let's say it finds the value @samp{4};
|
|
|
438 it adds this to the running total (initialized to zero), yielding a
|
|
|
439 running total indentation of 4 spaces.
|
|
|
440
|
|
110
|
441 Next @ccmode{} goes to buffer position 29 and asks for the current
|
|
|
442 column. This brace is in column zero, so @ccmode{}
|
|
0
|
443 adds @samp{0} to the running total. Since there is only one syntactic
|
|
|
444 component on the list for this line, indentation calculation is
|
|
|
445 complete, and the total indentation for the line
|
|
|
446 is 4 spaces.
|
|
|
447
|
|
|
448 Here's another example:
|
|
|
449 @example
|
|
|
450 @group
|
|
|
451
|
|
|
452 1: int add( int val, int incr, int doit )
|
|
|
453 2: @{
|
|
|
454 3: if( doit )
|
|
|
455 4: @{
|
|
|
456 5: return( val + incr );
|
|
|
457 6: @}
|
|
|
458 7: return( val );
|
|
|
459 8: @}
|
|
|
460
|
|
|
461 @end group
|
|
|
462 @end example
|
|
|
463
|
|
|
464 If we were to hit @kbd{TAB} on line 4 in the above example, the same
|
|
|
465 basic process is performed, despite the differences in the syntactic
|
|
|
466 component list. Remember that the list for this line is:
|
|
|
467 @example
|
|
|
468
|
|
|
469 ((substatement-open . 46))
|
|
|
470
|
|
|
471 @end example
|
|
|
472
|
|
110
|
473 Here, @ccmode{} first looks up the @code{substatement-open} symbol
|
|
0
|
474 in @code{c-offsets-alist}. Let's say it finds the value @samp{4}. This
|
|
110
|
475 yields a running total of 4. @ccmode{} then goes to
|
|
0
|
476 buffer position 46, which is the @samp{i} in @code{if} on line 3. This
|
|
|
477 character is in the fourth column on that line so adding this to the
|
|
|
478 running total yields an indentation for the line of 8 spaces.
|
|
|
479
|
|
|
480 Simple, huh?
|
|
|
481
|
|
|
482 Actually, the mode usually just does The Right Thing without you having
|
|
|
483 to think about it in this much detail. But when customizing
|
|
|
484 indentation, it's helpful to understand the general indentation model
|
|
|
485 being used.

|
|
|
489 @cindex TAB
|

110
|
490 As you configure @ccmode{}, you might want to set the variable
|
|
0
|
491 @code{c-echo-syntactic-information-p} to non-@code{nil} so that the
|
|
|
492 syntactic component list and calculated offset will always be echoed in
|
|
|
493 the minibuffer when you hit @kbd{TAB}.

|
504 @ccmode{} contains two minor-mode-like features that you should
|
|
0
|
505 find useful while you enter new C code. The first is called
|
|
|
506 @dfn{auto-newline} mode, and the second is called @dfn{hungry-delete}
|
|
|
507 mode. These minor modes can be toggled on and off independently, and
|
|
110
|
508 @ccmode{} can be configured so that it starts up with any
|
|
0
|
509 combination of these minor modes. By default, both of these minor modes
|
|
|
510 are turned off.
|
|
|
511
|
|
|
512 The state of the minor modes is always reflected in the minor mode list
|
|
110
|
513 on the modeline of the @ccmode{} buffer. When auto-newline mode is
|
|
0
|
514 enabled, you will see @samp{C/a} on the mode line @footnote{Remember
|
|
177
|
515 that the @samp{C} could be replaced with @samp{C++}, @samp{ObjC},
|
|
|
516 @samp{Java} or @samp{IDL}.}. When hungry delete mode is enabled you
|
|
|
517 would see @samp{C/h} and when both modes are enabled, you'd see
|
|
|
518 @samp{C/ah}.

|
529 @ccmode{} provides keybindings which allow you to toggle the minor
|
|
2
|
530 modes on the fly while editing code. To toggle just the auto-newline
|
|
0
|
531 state, hit @kbd{C-c C-a} (@code{c-toggle-auto-state}). When you do
|
|
|
532 this, you should see the @samp{a} indicator either appear or disappear
|
|
|
533 on the modeline. Similarly, to toggle just the hungry-delete state, use
|
|
2
|
534 @kbd{C-c C-d} (@code{c-toggle-hungry-state}), and to toggle both states,
|
|
|
535 use @kbd{C-c C-t} (@code{c-toggle-auto-hungry-state}).
|
|
0
|
536
|
|
|
537 To set up the auto-newline and hungry-delete states to your preferred
|
|
|
538 values, you would need to add some lisp to your @file{.emacs} file that
|
|
|
539 called one of the @code{c-toggle-*-state} functions directly. When
|
|
|
540 called programmatically, each function takes a numeric value, where
|
|
|
541 a positive number enables the minor mode, a negative number disables the
|
|
|
542 mode, and zero toggles the current state of the mode.
|
|
|
543
|
|
|
544 So for example, if you wanted to enable both auto-newline and
|
|
|
545 hungry-delete for all your C file editing, you could add the following
|
|
|
546 to your @file{.emacs} file:
|
|
|
547 @example
|
|
|
548
|
|

571 @cindex electric commands
|
|
|
572 Auto-newline minor mode works by enabling certain @dfn{electric
|
|
|
573 commands}. Electric commands are typically bound to special characters
|
|
|
574 such as the left and right braces, colons, semi-colons, etc., which when
|
|
|
575 typed, perform some magic formatting in addition to inserting the typed
|
|
|
576 character. As a general rule, electric commands are only electric when
|
|
|
577 the following conditions apply:
|
|
|
578
|
|
|
579 @itemize @bullet

621 When you type either an open or close brace (i.e. @kbd{@{} or @kbd{@}}),
|
|
|
622 the electric command @code{c-electric-brace} gets run. This command has
|
|
|
623 two electric formatting behaviors. First, it will perform some
|
|
|
624 re-indentation of the line the brace was typed on, and second, it will
|
|
|
625 add various newlines before and/or after the typed brace.
|
|
|
626 Re-indentation occurs automatically whenever the electric behavior is
|
|
|
627 enabled. If the brace ends up on a line other than the one it was typed
|
|
2
|
628 on, then that line is also indented according to

648 The insertion of newlines is controlled by the

650 mapping between syntactic symbols related to braces, and a list of

651 places to insert a newline. The syntactic symbols that are useful for
|
|

663 The value associated with each syntactic symbol in this association list

664 is called an @var{ACTION} which can be either a function or a list.

687 When the list contains both @code{after} and @code{before}, the braces
|
|

688 will appear on a line by themselves, as shown by the close braces in the

712 A word of caution: it is not a good idea to hang top-level construct
|

713 introducing braces, such as @code{class-open} or @code{defun-open}.
|
|
|
714 Emacs makes an assumption that such braces will always appear in column

715 zero, hanging such braces can introduce performance problems.

729 Using a mechanism similar to brace hanging (see @ref{Hanging Braces}),
|
|
|
730 colons can also be made to hang using the variable
|
|
|
731 @code{c-hanging-colons-alist}. The syntactic symbols appropriate for
|
|
|
732 this assocation list are: @code{case-label}, @code{label},
|
|
|
733 @code{access-label}, @code{member-init-intro}, and @code{inher-intro}.
|
|
177
|
734 Note however that for @code{c-hanging-colons-alist}, @var{ACTION}s as
|
|
2
|
735 functions are not supported. See also @ref{Custom Brace and Colon

739 In C++, double-colons are used as a scope operator but because these

740 colons always appear right next to each other, newlines before and after
|
|
|
741 them are controlled by a different mechanism, called @dfn{clean-ups} in

753 Semicolons and commas are also electric in @ccmode{}, but since

|
0
|
754 these characters do not correspond directly to syntactic symbols, a

775 A few other keys also provide electric behavior. For example
|
|
|
776 @kbd{#} (@code{c-electric-pound}) is electric when typed as

0
|
777 the first non-whitespace character on a line. In this case, the
|
|
|
778 variable @code{c-electric-pound-behavior} is consulted for the electric
|
|
|
779 behavior. This variable takes a list value, although the only element
|
|
|
780 currently defined is @code{alignleft}, which tells this command to force
|
|
|
781 the @samp{#} character into column zero. This is useful for entering

|
|
832 @dfn{Clean-ups} are a mechanism complementary to colon and brace
|
|
|
833 hanging. On the surface, it would seem that clean-ups overlap the
|
|
|
834 functionality provided by the @code{c-hanging-*-alist} variables, and
|
|
|
835 similarly, clean-ups are only enabled when auto-newline minor mode is
|
|
|
836 enabled. Clean-ups are used however to adjust code ``after-the-fact'',
|
|
177
|
837 i.e. to eliminate some whitespace that is inserted by electric
|
|
0
|
838 commands, or whitespace that contains intervening constructs.
|
|
|
839
|
|
|
840 @cindex literal
|
|
110
|
841 You can configure @ccmode{}'s clean-ups by setting the variable
|
|
0
|
842 @code{c-cleanup-list}, which is a list of clean-up symbols. By default,
|
|
110
|
843 @ccmode{} cleans up only the @code{scope-operator} construct, which
|
|
0
|
844 is necessary for proper C++ support. Note that clean-ups are only
|
|
|
845 performed when the construct does not occur within a literal (see
|
|
|
846 @ref{Auto-newline insertion}), and when there is nothing but whitespace
|
|
|
847 appearing between the individual components of the construct.

851 There are currently only five specific constructs that @ccmode{}
|

0

852 can clean up, as indicated by these symbols:

856 @code{brace-else-brace} --- cleans up @samp{@} else @{} constructs by
|
|
0
|
857 placing the entire construct on a single line. Clean-up occurs when the
|
|
|
858 open brace after the @samp{else} is typed. So for example, this:

994 Hungry deletion of whitespace, or as it more commonly called,
|
|
|
995 @dfn{hungry-delete mode}, is a simple feature that some people find
|
|
|
996 extremely useful. In fact, you might find yourself wanting
|
|
|
997 hungry-delete in @strong{all} your editing modes!

1001 In a nutshell, when hungry-delete mode is enabled, hitting the

|

1002 @kbd{Backspace} key@footnote{I say ``hit the @kbd{Backspace} key'' but
|
|
|
1003 what I really mean is ``when Emacs receives the @code{BackSpace} keysym
|
|
|
1004 event''. The difference usually isn't significant to most users, but
|
|
|
1005 advanced users will realize that under window systems such as X, any
|
|
|
1006 physical key (keycap) on the keyboard can be configured to generate any
|
|
|
1007 keysym. Also, the use of Emacs on TTYs will affect which keycap
|
|

1008 generates which keysym. From a pedantic point of view, here we are only
|
|
|
1009 concerned with the keysym event that Emacs receives.} will consume all

1011 down on the number of @kbd{Backspace}'s you have to type if, for example

|
1032 or when hungry-delete mode is disabled, the function
|
|
|
1033 contained in the @code{c-backspace-function} variable is called with one
|
|
|
1034 argument (the number of characters to delete). This variable is set to
|
|
|
1035 @code{backward-delete-char-untabify} by default.
|
|
|
1036
|
|
|
1037 @vindex delete-key-deletes-forward
|
|
|
1038 @findex delete-char
|
|
|
1039
|
|
|
1040 Similarly, hitting the @kbd{DEL} key runs the command
|
|
|
1041 @code{c-electric-delete}. Some versions of Emacs@footnote{As of this
|
|
177
|
1042 writing, 20-Jun-1997, only XEmacs 20.3 supports this.} support separation
|
|
165
|
1043 of the @kbd{Backspace} and @kbd{DEL} keys, so that @kbd{DEL} will delete
|
|
|
1044 in the forward direction when @code{delete-key-deletes-forward} is
|
|
|
1045 non-@code{nil}. If your Emacs supports this, and
|
|
|
1046 @code{delete-key-deletes-forward} is non-@code{nil}, and hungry-delete
|
|
|
1047 mode is enabled, then @kbd{DEL} will consume all whitespace following
|
|
|
1048 point. When deleting a single character, or when @kbd{DEL} is hit in a
|
|
|
1049 literal, or when hungry-delete mode is disabled, the function contained
|
|
|
1050 in the @code{c-delete-function} variable is called with one argument
|
|
|
1051 (the number of characters to delete). This variable is set to
|
|
|
1052 @code{delete-char} by default.
|
|
|
1053
|
|
|
1054 However, if @code{delete-key-deletes-forward} is @code{nil}, or your
|
|
|
1055 Emacs does not support separation of @kbd{Backspace} and @kbd{DEL}, then
|
|
|
1056 @code{c-electric-delete} simply calls @code{c-electric-backspace}.

|

1067 One other note about minor modes is worth mentioning here. CC Mode now
|
|
|
1068 works much better with auto-fill mode (a standard Emacs minor mode) by
|
|
|
1069 correctly auto-filling both line (e.g. C++ style) and block (e.g. C
|
|
|
1070 style) oriented comments. When @code{auto-fill-mode} is enabled, line
|
|
|
1071 oriented comments will also be auto-filled by inserting a newline at the
|
|
|
1072 line break, and inserting @samp{//} at the start of the next line.
|
|
|
1073
|
|
|
1074 @vindex c-comment-continuation-stars
|
|
|
1075 @vindex comment-continuation-stars (c-)
|
|
|
1076 @vindex comment-line-break-function
|
|
|
1077 When auto-filling block oriented comments, the behavior is dependent on
|
|
|
1078 the value of the variable @code{c-comment-continuation-stars}. When
|
|
|
1079 this variable is @code{nil}, the old behavior for auto-filling C
|
|
|
1080 comments is in effect. In this case, the line is broken by closing the
|
|
|
1081 comment and starting a new comment on the next line.
|
|
|
1082
|
|
|
1083 If you set @code{c-comment-continuation-stars} to a string, then a long
|
|
|
1084 C block comment line is broken by inserting a newline at the line break
|
|
|
1085 position, and inserting this string at the beginning of the next comment
|
|
|
1086 line. The default value for @code{c-comment-continuation-stars} is
|
|
|
1087 @samp{* } (a star followed by a single space)@footnote{To get block
|
|
|
1088 comment continuation lines indented under the block comment starter
|
|
|
1089 (e.g. the @samp{/*}), it is not enough to set
|
|
|
1090 @code{c-comment-continuation-stars} to the empty string. You need to do
|
|
|
1091 this, but you also need to set the offset for the @code{c} syntactic
|
|
|
1092 symbol to be zero.}.

1116 Various commands are provided which allow you to conveniently re-indent
|
|
2
|
1117 C constructs. There are several things to
|
|
0
|
1118 note about these indentation commands. First, when you
|
|
2
|
1119 change your programming style, either interactively or through some
|
|
0
|
1120 other means, your file does @emph{not} automatically get re-indented.
|
|
|
1121 When you change style parameters, you will typically need to reformat
|
|
|
1122 the line, expression, or buffer to see the effects of your changes.
|
|
|
1123
|
|
|
1124 @cindex c-hanging- functions
|
|
|
1125 @findex c-hanging-braces-alist
|
|
|
1126 @findex hanging-braces-alist (c-)
|
|
|
1127 Second, changing some variables have no effect on existing code, even
|
|
2
|
1128 when you do re-indent. For example, the @code{c-hanging-*} variables
|
|
110
|
1129 and @code{c-cleanup-list} only affect new code as it is typed in
|
|
|
1130 on-the-fly, so changing @code{c-hanging-braces-alist} and re-indenting
|
|
|
1131 the buffer will not adjust placement of braces already in the file.
|
|
0
|
1132
|
|
|
1133 @vindex c-progress-interval
|
|
|
1134 @vindex progress-interval (c-)
|
|
|
1135 Third, re-indenting large portions of code is currently rather
|
|
|
1136 inefficient. Improvements have been made since previous releases of
|
|
110
|
1137 @ccmode{}, and much more radical improvements are planned, but for now
|
|
|
1138 you need to be aware of this @footnote{In particular, I have had people
|
|
|
1139 complain about the speed with which @code{lex(1)} output is re-indented.
|
|
|
1140 Lex, yacc, and other code generators usually output some pretty
|
|
|
1141 perversely formatted code. @emph{Don't} try to indent this stuff!}.
|
|
|
1142 Some provision has been made to at least inform you as to the progress
|
|
|
1143 of the re-indentation. The variable @code{c-progress-interval} controls
|
|
|
1144 how often a progress message is displayed. Set this variable to
|
|
203
|
1145 @code{nil} to inhibit progress messages, including messages normally
|
|
|
1146 printed when indentation is started and completed.
|
|
0
|
1147
|
|
|
1148 Also, except as noted below, re-indentation is always driven by the
|
|
|
1149 same mechanisms that control on-the-fly indentation of code. @xref{New
|
|
|
1150 Indentation Engine} for details.

|
|
|
1161 @findex tab-to-tab-stop
|
|
0
|
1162 To indent a single line of code, use @kbd{TAB}
|
|
|
1163 (@code{c-indent-command}). The behavior of this command is controlled
|
|
|
1164 by the variable @code{c-tab-always-indent}. When this variable is
|
|
|
1165 @code{t}, @kbd{TAB} always just indents the current line. When
|
|
110
|
1166 @code{nil}, the line is indented only if point is at the left margin, or
|
|
2
|
1167 on or before the first non-whitespace character on the line, otherwise
|
|
|
1168 @emph{something else happens}@footnote{Actually what happens is that the
|
|
110
|
1169 function stored in @code{c-insert-tab-function} is called.
|
|
2
|
1170 Normally this just inserts a real tab character, or the equivalent
|
|
|
1171 number of spaces, depending on the setting of the variable
|
|
|
1172 @code{indent-tabs-mode}. If you preferred, you could set
|
|
|
1173 @code{c-insert-tab-function} to @code{tab-to-tab-stop} for example.}.
|
|
|
1174 If the value of @code{c-tab-always-indent} is something other than
|
|
|
1175 @code{t} or @code{nil} (e.g. @code{'other}), then a real tab
|
|
|
1176 character@footnote{The caveat about @code{indent-tabs-mode} in the
|
|
110
|
1177 previous footnote also applies here.} is inserted only when point is
|
|
2
|
1178 inside a literal (see @ref{Auto-newline insertion}), otherwise the line
|
|
|
1179 is indented.

|
|
1184 To indent an entire balanced brace or parenthesis expression, use
|
|
110

1185 @kbd{M-C-q} (@code{c-indent-exp}). Note that point should be on

1198 To indent any arbitrary region of code, use @kbd{M-C-\}

1199 (@code{indent-region}). This is a standard Emacs command, specially
|
|
110
|
1200 tailored for C code in a @ccmode{} buffer. Note that of course,
|
|
|
1201 point and mark must delineate the region you

1207 While not strictly an indentation function, @kbd{M-C-h}
|
|
|
1208 (@code{c-mark-function}) is useful for marking the current top-level

1209 function or class definition as the current region.

|
|
1327 start delimiters which appear on a line by themselves, end up on a line
|
|
|
1328 by themselves after the fill. When the value is @code{nil}, the comment
|
|
|
1329 starter will remain on its own line@footnote{It will not be placed on a
|
|
|
1330 separate line if it is not already on a separate line.}. Otherwise,
|
|
|
1331 text on the next line will be put on the same line as the comment
|
|
|
1332 starter. This is called @dfn{hanging} because the following text hangs
|
|
177
|
1333 on the line with the comment starter@footnote{This variable is @code{t}
|
|
|
1334 by default, except in @code{java-mode}. Hanging comment starters mess
|
|
|
1335 up Javadoc style comments.}
|
|
110
|
1336
|
|
|
1337 The variable @code{c-hanging-comment-ender-p} controls the analogous
|
|
|
1338 behavior for the block comment end delimiter. When the value is
|
|
|
1339 @code{nil}, the comment ender will remain on its own line after the
|
|
|
1340 file@footnote{The same caveat as above holds true.}. Otherwise, the
|
|
|
1341 comment end delimiter will be placed at the end of the previous line.

1357 The variable @code{c-offsets-alist} contains the mappings between
|
|
|
1358 syntactic symbols and the offsets to apply for those symbols. You
|
|
|
1359 should never modify this variable directly though. Use the function
|
|
|
1360 @code{c-set-offset} instead (see below for details).
|
|
|
1361
|
|
0
|
1362 The @code{c-offsets-alist} variable is where you customize all your
|
|
|
1363 indentations. You simply need to decide what additional offset you want
|
|
|
1364 to add for every syntactic symbol. You can use the command @kbd{C-c
|
|
|
1365 C-o} (@code{c-set-offset}) as the way to set offsets, both interactively
|
|
|
1366 and from your mode hook. Also, you can set up @emph{styles} of
|
|
177
|
1367 indentatio. Most likely, you'll
|
|
0
|
1368 find one of the pre-defined styles will suit your needs, but if not,
|
|
|
1369 this section will describe how to set up basic editing configurations.

|
|
|
1374 As mentioned previously, the variable @code{c-offsets-alist} is an
|
|
2
|
1375 association list of syntactic symbols and the offsets to be applied for
|
|
110
|
1376 those symbols. In fact, these offset values can be any of an integer, a
|
|
|
1377 function or lambda expression, a variable name, or one of the following
|
|
|
1378 symbols: @code{+}, @code{-}, @code{++}, @code{--}, @code{*}, or
|
|
|
1379 @code{/}. These symbols describe offset in multiples of the value of
|
|
|
1380 the variable @code{c-basic-offset}. By defining a style's indentation
|
|
|
1381 in terms of this fundamental variable, you can change the amount of
|
|
|
1382 whitespace given to an indentation level while leaving the same
|
|
|
1383 relationship between levels. Here are the values that the special
|
|
0
|
1384 symbols correspond to:

1406 So, for example, because most of the default offsets are defined in

|
|
1408 indentation style, but you use 4 spaces instead of 2 spaces per level,
|
|
|
1409 you can probably achieve your style just by changing

165

1410 @code{c-basic-offset} like so (in your @file{.emacs} file):

1507 In other words, we want to change the indentation of braces that open a
|
|
|
1508 block following a condition so that the braces line up under the
|
|
|
1509 conditional, instead of being indented. Notice that the construct we
|
|
|
1510 want to change starts on line 4. To change the indentation of a line,
|
|
2
|
1511 we need to see which syntactic components affect the offset calculations
|
|
0
|
1512 for that line. Hitting @kbd{C-c C-s} on line 4 yields:
|
|
|
1513 @example
|
|
|
1514
|
|
2
|
1515 ((substatement-open . 44))

|
|
1520 @findex set-offset (c-)
|
|
|
1521 @kindex C-c C-o
|
|
|
1522 @noindent
|
|
|
1523 so we know that to change the offset of the open brace, we need to
|
|
|
1524 change the indentation for the @code{substatement-open} syntactic
|
|
|
1525 symbol. To do this interactively, just hit @kbd{C-c C-o}
|
|
|
1526 (@code{c-set-offset}). This prompts you for the syntactic symbol to
|
|
|
1527 change, providing a reasonable default. In this case, the default is
|
|
|
1528 @code{substatement-open}, which is just the syntactic symbol we want to
|
|
|
1529 change!
|
|
|
1530
|
|
110
|
1531 After you hit return, @ccmode{} will then prompt you for the new
|
|
0
|
1532 offset value, with the old value as the default. The default in this
|
|
2
|
1533 case is @samp{+}, but we want no extra indentation so enter
|
|
0
|
1534 @samp{0} and @kbd{RET}. This will associate the offset 0 with the
|
|
|
1535 syntactic symbol @code{substatement-open} in the @code{c-offsets-alist}
|
|
|
1536 variable.

1539 @findex indent-defun (c-)
|

|
|
|
1541 To check your changes quickly, just hit @kbd{C-c C-q}
|
|
|
1542 (@code{c-indent-defun}) to reindent the entire function. The example
|
|
|
1543 should now look like:
|
|
|
1544 @example
|
|
|
1545 @group
|
|
|
1546
|
|
|
1547 1: int add( int val, int incr, int doit )

1556 @end group
|
|
|
1557 @end example
|
|
|
1558
|
|
|
1559 Notice how just changing the open brace offset on line 4 is all we
|
|
|
1560 needed to do. Since the other affected lines are indented relative to
|
|
|
1561 line 4, they are automatically indented the way you'd expect. For more
|
|
|
1562 complicated examples, this may not always work. The general approach to
|
|
|
1563 take is to always start adjusting offsets for lines higher up in the
|
|
|
1564 file, then re-indent and see if any following lines need further
|
|
|
1565 adjustments.

1584 To make your changes permanent, you need to add some lisp code to your
|
|
|
1585 @file{.emacs} file, but first you need to decide whether your styles
|
|
|
1586 should be global in every buffer, or local to each specific buffer.
|
|
|
1587
|
|
177
|
1588 If you edit primarily one style of code, you may want to make the
|
|
|
1589 @ccmode{} style variables have global values so that every buffer will
|
|
|
1590 share the style settings. This will allow you to set the @ccmode{}
|
|
|
1591 variables at the top level of your @file{.emacs} file, and is the
|
|
|
1592 way @ccmode{} works by default.
|
|

|
|
|
1597 @vindex style-variables-are-local-p (c-)
|
|
177
|
1598 If you edit many different styles of code at
|
|
|
1599 the same time, you might want to make the @ccmode{} style variables
|
|
165
|
1600 have buffer local values. If you do this, then you will need to set any
|
|
|
1601 @ccmode{} style variables in a hook function (e.g. off of
|
|
|
1602 @code{c-mode-common-hook} instead of at the top level of your
|
|
|
1603 @file{.emacs} file. The recommended way to do this is to set the
|
|
|
1604 variable @code{c-style-variables-are-local-p} to @code{t}
|
|
|
1605 @strong{before} @ccmode{} is loaded into your Emacs session.
|
|
|
1606
|
|
|
1607 @ccmode{} provides several hooks that you can
|
|
2
|
1608 use to customize the mode according to your coding style. Each language
|
|
110
|
1609 mode has its own hook, adhering to standard Emacs major mode
|
|
177
|
1610 conventions. There is also one general hook and one package
|
|
|
1611 initialization hook:

1633 The language hooks get run as the last thing when you enter that
|
|
177
|
1634 language mode. The @code{c-mode-common-hook} is run by all
|
|
2
|
1635 supported modes @emph{before} the language specific hook, and thus can
|
|
|
1636 contain customizations that are common across all languages. Most of
|
|
|
1637 the examples in this section will assume you are using the common
|
|
|
1638 hook@footnote{The interaction between @code{java-mode} and the hook
|
|
|
1639 variables is slightly different than for the other modes.
|
|
|
1640 @code{java-mode} sets the style (see @ref{Styles}) of the buffer to
|
|
|
1641 @samp{java} @emph{before} running the @code{c-mode-common-hook} or
|
|
177
|
1642 @code{java-mode-hook}. You need to be aware of this so that style
|
|
|
1643 settings in @code{c-mode-common-hook} don't clobber your Java style.}.

1675 Most people only need to edit code formatted in just a few well-defined
|
|
|
1676 and consistent styles. For example, their organization might impose a
|
|
|
1677 ``blessed'' style that all its programmers must conform to. Similarly,
|
|
|
1678 people who work on GNU software will have to use the GNU coding style on
|
|
177
|
1679 C code. Some shops are more lenient, allowing a variety of coding
|
|
0
|
1680 styles, and as programmers come and go, there could be a number of
|
|
110
|
1681 styles in use. For this reason, @ccmode{} makes it convenient for
|
|
0
|
1682 you to set up logical groupings of customizations called @dfn{styles},
|
|
|
1683 associate a single name for any particular style, and pretty easily
|
|
2
|
1684 start editing new or existing code using these styles. This section
|
|
0
|
1685 describes how to set up styles and how to edit your C code using styles.

|
|
2
|
1792 There is one other special style you can use, called @samp{cc-mode}
|
|
|
1793 style. This style is special because all other styles implicitly
|
|
|
1794 inherit from it; in other words, whenever you set a style,
|
|
|
1795 @samp{cc-mode} is applied before the one you selected. This means
|
|
|
1796 your style need only define the differences between it and
|
|
|
1797 @samp{cc-mode} style.
|
|
|
1798
|
|
110
|
1799 Note @emph{you should never change any of the default styles}.
|
|
|
1800 Instead, it's better to add a new style using @code{c-add-style}
|
|
|
1801 (@xref{Adding Styles}). This is especially true for @code{cc-mode} and
|
|
|
1802 @code{java} styles.

|
1806 Note that for BOCM compatibility, @samp{gnu} is the default
|
|
|
1807 style, and any non-style based customizations you make (i.e. in
|
|
|
1808 @code{c-mode-common-hook} in your
|
|
|
1809 @file{.emacs} file) will be based on @samp{gnu} style unless you do
|
|
110
|
1810 a @code{c-set-style} as the first thing in your hook. The variable
|
|
|
1811 @code{c-indentation-style} always contains the buffer's current style name,
|
|
|
1812 as a string.

1827 If none of the built-in styles is appropriate, you'll probably want to
|
|
2
|
1828 add a new @dfn{style definition}. Styles are kept in the
|
|
|
1829 @code{c-style-alist} variable, but you should never modify this variable
|
|
110
|
1830 directly. Instead, @ccmode{} provides the function
|
|
2
|
1831 @code{c-add-style} that you can use to easily add new styles or change
|
|
|
1832 existing styles. This function takes two arguments, a @var{stylename}
|
|
|
1833 string, and an association list @var{description} of style
|
|
|
1834 customizations. If @var{stylename} is not already in
|
|
|
1835 @code{c-style-alist}, the new style is added, otherwise the style is
|
|
|
1836 changed to the new @var{description}.
|
|
|
1837 This function also takes an optional third argument, which if
|
|
|
1838 non-@code{nil}, automatically applies the new style to the current
|
|
|
1839 buffer.

1857 The Emacs manual describes how you can customize certain variables on a
|
|
|
1858 per-file basis by including a @dfn{Local Variable} block at the end of
|
|
177
|
1859 the file. So far, you've only seen a functional interface to @ccmode{}
|
|
|
1860 customization, which is highly inconvenient for use in a Local Variable
|
|
|
1861 block. @ccmode{} provides two variables that make it easier for you to
|
|
181
|
1862 customize your style on a per-file basis@footnote{Note that this feature
|
|
|
1863 doesn't work with Emacs versions before XEmacs 19.12 and Emacs 19.29.
|
|
|
1864 It works via the standard Emacs hook variable
|
|

1865 @code{hack-local-variables-hook}.}

1872 The variable @code{c-file-style} can be set to a style name string.
|

1873 When the file is visited, @ccmode{} will automatically set the

1901 For most users, @ccmode{} will support their coding styles with
|
|
2
|
1902 very little need for more advanced customizations. Usually, one of the
|
|
|
1903 standard styles defined in @code{c-style-alist} will do the trick. At
|
|
|
1904 most, perhaps one of the syntactic symbol offsets will need to be
|
|
|
1905 tweaked slightly, or maybe @code{c-basic-offset} will need to be
|
|
|
1906 changed. However, some styles require a more flexible framework for
|
|
110
|
1907 customization, and one of the real strengths of @ccmode{} is that
|
|
2
|
1908 the syntactic analysis model provides just such a framework. This allows
|
|
110
|
1909 you to implement custom indentation calculations for situations not
|
|
2
|
1910 handled by the mode directly.

1914 Note that the style controlling variables can either have global values,
|
|
|
1915 or can be buffer local (e.g. different in every buffer). If all the C
|
|
|
1916 files you edit tend to have the same style, you might want to keep the
|
|
|
1917 variables global. If you tend to edit files with many different styles,
|
|
|
1918 you will have to make the variables buffer local. The variable
|
|
|
1919 @code{c-style-variables-are-local-p} controls this.
|
|
|
1920
|
|
|
1921 When @code{c-style-variables-are-local-p} is non-nil, then the style
|
|
|
1922 variables will have a different settable value for each buffer,
|
|
165
|
1923 otherwise all buffers will share the same values. By default, its value
|
|
|
1924 is @code{nil} (i.e. global values). You @strong{must} set this variable
|
|
|
1925 before @ccmode{} is loaded into your Emacs session, and once the
|
|
|
1926 variables are made buffer local, they cannot be made global again
|
|

1927 (unless you restart Emacs of course!)

1945 The most flexible way to customize @ccmode{} is by writing @dfn{custom

1946 indentation functions} and associating them with specific syntactic
|
|
|
1947 symbols (see @ref{Syntactic Symbols}). @ccmode{} itself uses custom

1948 indentation functions to provide more sophisticated indentation, for

1964 In this example, lines 4 through 6 are assigned the @code{stream-op}
|
|
2
|
1965 syntactic symbol. Here, @code{stream-op} has an offset of @code{+}, and
|
|
|
1966 with a @code{c-basic-offset} of 2, you can see that lines 4 through 6
|
|
|
1967 are simply indented two spaces to the right of line 3. But perhaps we'd
|
|
177
|
1968 like @ccmode{} to be a little more intelligent so that it aligns
|
|
2
|
1969 all the @samp{<<} symbols in lines 3 through 6. To do this, we have
|
|
|
1970 to write a custom indentation function which finds the column of first
|
|
177
|
1971 stream operator on the first line of the statement. Here is sample
|
|
|
1972 lisp code implementing this:

|
|
|
1978 (save-excursion
|
|
|
1979 (let* ((relpos (cdr langelem))
|
|
|
1980 (curcol (progn (goto-char relpos)
|
|
|
1981 (current-column))))
|
|
|
1982 (re-search-forward "<<\\|>>" (c-point 'eol) 'move)
|
|
|
1983 (goto-char (match-beginning 0))
|
|
|
1984 (- (current-column) curcol))))
|
|
|

1987 @end example
|
|
|
1988 @noindent
|
|
|
1989 Custom indent functions take a single argument, which is a syntactic
|
|
|
1990 component cons cell (see @ref{Syntactic Analysis}). The
|
|
|
1991 function returns an integer offset value that will be added to the
|
|
2
|
1992 running total indentation for the line. Note that what actually gets
|
|
0
|
1993 returned is the difference between the column that the first stream
|
|
|
1994 operator is on, and the column of the buffer relative position passed in
|
|
110
|
1995 the function's argument. Remember that @ccmode{} automatically
|
|
0
|
1996 adds in the column of the component's relative buffer position and we
|
|
177
|
1997 don't the column offset added in twice.

|
|
|
2002 Now, to associate the function @code{c-lineup-streamop} with the
|
|
|
2003 @code{stream-op} syntactic symbol, we can add something like the
|
|
|
2004 following to our @code{c++-mode-hook}@footnote{It probably makes more
|
|
|
2005 sense to add this to @code{c++-mode-hook} than @code{c-mode-common-hook}
|
|
|
2006 since stream operators are only relevent for C++.}:
|
|
|
2007 @example
|
|
|
2008
|
|
|
2009 (c-set-offset 'stream-op 'c-lineup-streamop)

|
|
|
2012
|
|
|
2013 @kindex C-c C-q
|
|
|
2014 Now the function looks like this after re-indenting (using @kbd{C-c
|
|
|
2015 C-q}):
|
|
|
2016 @example
|
|

2131 Syntactic symbols aren't the only place where you can customize
|
|
110
|
2132 @ccmode{} with the lisp equivalent of callback functions. Brace
|
|
2
|
2133 ``hanginess'' can also be determined by custom functions associated with
|
|
0
|
2134 syntactic symbols on the @code{c-hanging-braces-alist} variable.
|
|
|
2135 Remember that @var{ACTION}'s are typically a list containing some
|
|
|
2136 combination of the symbols @code{before} and @code{after} (see
|
|
|
2137 @ref{Hanging Braces}). However, an @var{ACTION} can also be a function
|
|
177
|
2138 which gets called when a brace matching that syntactic symbol is
|
|
|
2139 entered.

|

2140
|
|
|
2141 @cindex customizing brace hanging
|
|
|
2142 These @var{ACTION} functions are called with two arguments: the
|
|
|
2143 syntactic symbol for the brace, and the buffer position at which the
|
|
|
2144 brace was inserted. The @var{ACTION} function is expected to return a
|
|
|
2145 list containing some combination of @code{before} and @code{after}. The
|
|
|
2146 function can also return @code{nil}. This return value has the normal
|
|
2
|
2147 brace hanging semantics.

2148

2149 As an example, @ccmode{} itself uses this feature to dynamically
|
|
2
|
2150 determine the hanginess of braces which close ``do-while''
|
|
0
|
2151 constructs:
|
|
|
2152 @example
|
|
|
2153 @group

2155 void do_list( int count, char** atleast_one_string )

2169 @ccmode{} assigns the @code{block-close} syntactic symbol to the
|
|
0
|
2170 brace that closes the @code{do} construct, and normally we'd like the
|
|
|
2171 line that follows a @code{block-close} brace to begin on a separate
|
|
2
|
2172 line. However, with ``do-while'' constructs, we want the
|
|
0
|
2173 @code{while} clause to follow the closing brace. To do this, we
|
|
|
2174 associate the @code{block-close} symbol with the @var{ACTION} function
|
|
|
2175 @code{c-snug-do-while}:
|
|
|
2176 @example

2177

2178 (defun c-snug-do-while (syntax pos)

2228 You can also customize the insertion of newlines after semi-colons and
|
|
|
2229 commas, when the auto-newline minor mode is enabled (see @ref{Minor
|
|
|
2230 Modes}). This is controlled by the variable
|
|
|
2231 @code{c-hanging-semi&comma-criteria}, which contains a list of functions
|
|
|
2232 that are called in the order they appear. Each function is called with
|
|
|
2233 zero arguments, and is expected to return one of the following values:

|

2249
|
|
|
2250 If every function in the list is called without a determination being
|
|
|
2251 made, then no newline is added. The default value for this variable is a
|
|
|
2252 list containing a single function which inserts newlines only after
|
|
|
2253 semi-colons which do not appear inside parenthesis lists (i.e. those

2254 that separate @code{for}-clause statements).
|

|
2255
|
|

2256 Here's an example of a criteria function that will prevent newlines from
|
|
|
2257 being inserted after semicolons when there is a non-blank following
|
|
110

2258 line. Otherwise, it makes no determination. To use, add this to the

|
|
|
2286 In @samp{gnu} style (see @ref{Built-in Styles}), a minimum indentation
|
|
110
|
2287 is imposed on lines inside top-level constructs. This minimum
|
|
|
2288 indentation is controlled by the variable
|
|
2
|
2289 @code{c-label-minimum-indentation}. The default value for this variable
|
|
|
2290 is 1.
|
|
|
2291
|
|
0
|
2292 @vindex c-special-indent-hook
|
|
|
2293 @vindex special-indent-hook (c-)
|
|
110
|
2294 One other customization variable is available in @ccmode{}:
|
|
0
|
2295 @code{c-special-indent-hook}. This is a standard hook variable that is
|
|
110
|
2296 called after every line is indented by @ccmode{}. You can use it
|
|
0
|
2297 to do any special indentation or line adjustments your style dictates,
|
|
|
2298 such as adding extra indentation to constructors or destructor
|
|
|
2299 declarations in a class definition, etc. Note however, that you should
|
|
110
|
2300 not change point or mark inside your @code{c-special-indent-hook}
|
|
0
|
2301 functions (i.e. you'll probably want to wrap your function in a
|
|
|
2302 @code{save-excursion}).
|
|
|
2303
|
|
2
|
2304 Setting @code{c-special-indent-hook} in your style definition is handled
|
|
|
2305 slightly differently than other variables. In your style definition,
|
|
|
2306 you should set the value for
|
|
|
2307 @code{c-special-indent-hook} to a function or list of functions, which
|
|
|
2308 will be appended to @code{c-special-indent-hook} using @code{add-hook}.
|
|
|
2309 That way, the current setting for the buffer local value of
|
|
|
2310 @code{c-special-indent-hook} won't be overridden.

2316 @vindex comment-column

2317
|
|
|
2318 Normally, the standard Emacs command @kbd{M-;}
|
|
181
|
2319 (@code{indent-for-comment}) will indent comment only lines to
|
|
175
|
2320 @code{comment-column}. Some users however, prefer that @kbd{M-;} act
|
|
|
2321 just like @kbd{TAB} for purposes of indenting comment-only lines;
|
|
|
2322 i.e. they want the comments to always indent as they would for normal
|
|
|
2323 code, regardless of whether @kbd{TAB} or @kbd{M-;} were used. This
|
|
|
2324 behavior is controlled by the variable
|
|
|
2325 @code{c-indent-comments-syntactically-p}. When @code{nil} (the
|
|
|
2326 default), @kbd{M-;} indents comment-only lines to @code{comment-column},
|
|
|
2327 otherwise, they are indented just as they would be if @kbd{TAB} were
|
|
|
2328 typed.

2462 @cindex -open syntactic symbols
|
|
|
2463 @cindex -close syntactic symbols
|
|
|
2464 Most syntactic symbol names follow a general naming convention. When a
|
|
|
2465 line begins with an open or close brace, the syntactic symbol will
|
|
|
2466 contain the suffix @code{-open} or @code{-close} respectively.
|
|
|
2467
|
|
|
2468 @cindex -intro syntactic symbols
|
|
|
2469 @cindex -cont syntactic symbols
|
|
|
2470 @cindex -block-intro syntactic symbols
|
|
|
2471 Usually, a distinction is made between the first line that introduces a
|
|
|
2472 construct and lines that continue a construct, and the syntactic symbols
|
|
|
2473 that represent these lines will contain the suffix @code{-intro} or
|
|
|
2474 @code{-cont} respectively. As a sub-classification of this scheme, a
|
|
|
2475 line which is the first of a particular brace block construct will
|
|
|
2476 contain the suffix @code{-block-intro}.

|
|
|
2479 Let's look at some examples to understand how this works. Remember that
|
|
|
2480 you can check the syntax of any line by using @kbd{C-c C-s}.
|
|
|
2481 @example
|
|

|
|

2501 @cindex defun-block-intro syntactic symbol
|
|
0
|
2502 Line 1 shows a @code{topmost-intro} since it is the first line that
|
|
|
2503 introduces a top-level construct. Line 2 is a continuation of the
|
|
|
2504 top-level construct introduction so it has the syntax
|
|
|
2505 @code{topmost-intro-cont}. Line 3 shows a @code{defun-open} since it is
|
|
|
2506 the brace that opens a top-level function definition. Line 9 is a
|
|
|
2507 @code{defun-close} since it contains the brace that closes the top-level
|
|
|
2508 function definition. Line 4 is a @code{defun-block-intro}, i.e. it is
|
|
177
|
2509 the first line of a brace-block, enclosed in a
|
|
0
|
2510 top-level function definition.

2512 @cindex statement syntactic symbol
|
|
|
2513 @cindex statement-cont syntactic symbol
|
|
0
|
2514 Lines 5, 6, and 7 are all given @code{statement} syntax since there
|
|
|
2515 isn't much special about them. Note however that line 8 is given
|
|
|
2516 @code{statement-cont} syntax since it continues the statement begun
|
|
|
2517 on the previous line.
|
|
|
2518
|
|
|
2519 Here's another example, which illustrates some C++ class syntactic
|
|
|
2520 symbols:
|
|
|
2521 @example
|
|
|
2522 @group
|

2538 15: gString.tune( 'G' );

|
2546 @cindex class-open syntactic symbol
|
|
|
2547 @cindex class-close syntactic symbol
|
|
0
|
2548 As in the previous example, line 1 has the @code{topmost-intro} syntax.
|
|
|
2549 Here however, the brace that opens a C++ class definition on line 4 is
|
|
2
|
2550 assigned the @code{class-open} syntax. Note that in C++, classes,
|
|
|
2551 structs, and unions are essentially equivalent syntactically (and are
|
|
|
2552 very similar semantically), so replacing the @code{class} keyword in the
|
|
|
2553 example above with @code{struct} or @code{union} would still result in a
|
|
|
2554 syntax of @code{class-open} for line 4 @footnote{This is the case even
|
|
|
2555 for C and Objective-C. For consistency, structs in all supported
|
|
|
2556 languages are syntactically equivalent to classes. Note however that
|
|
|
2557 the keyword @code{class} is meaningless in C and Objective-C.}.
|
|
|
2558 Similarly, line 18 is assigned @code{class-close} syntax.
|
|
|
2559
|
|
|
2560 @cindex inher-intro syntactic symbol
|
|
|
2561 @cindex inher-cont syntactic symbol
|
|
0
|
2562 Line 2 introduces the inheritance list for the class so it is assigned
|
|
|
2563 the @code{inher-intro} syntax, and line 3, which continues the
|
|
|
2564 inheritance list is given @code{inher-cont} syntax.

|
2566 @cindex access-label syntactic symbol
|
|
|
2567 @cindex inclass syntactic symbol
|
|
|
2568 Hitting @kbd{C-c C-s} on line 5 shows the following analysis:
|
|
|
2569
|
|
|
2570 @example
|
|
|
2571 @group
|
|
|
2572
|
|
|
2573 @code{((inclass . 1) (access-label . 67))}
|
|
|
2574
|
|
|
2575 @end group
|
|
|
2576 @end example
|
|
|
2577
|
|
|
2578 @noindent
|
|
|
2579 The primary syntactic symbol for this line is @code{access-label} as
|
|
|
2580 this a label keyword that specifies access protection in C++. However,
|
|
|
2581 because this line is also a top-level construct inside a class
|
|
|
2582 definition, the analysis actually shows two syntactic symbols. The
|
|
|
2583 other syntactic symbol assigned to this line is @code{inclass}.
|
|
|
2584 Similarly, line 6 is given both @code{inclass} and @code{topmost-intro}
|
|
|
2585 syntax:
|
|
|
2586
|
|
|
2587 @example
|
|
|
2588 @group
|
|
|
2589

2597 Line 7 introduces a C++ member initialization list and as such is given

2600 top-level construct. Lines 8 through 10 are all assigned

2607 Line 11's analysis is a bit more complicated:

2616
|
|
|
2617 This line is assigned a syntax of both @code{inline-open} and
|
|
|
2618 @code{inclass} because it opens an @dfn{in-class} C++ inline method
|
|
|
2619 definition. This is distinct from, but related to, the C++ notion of an
|
|
|
2620 inline function in that its definition occurs inside an enclosing class
|
|
|
2621 definition, which in C++ implies that the function should be inlined.
|
|
177
|
2622 If though, the definition of the @code{Bass} constructor appeared
|
|
|
2623 outside the class definition, the construct would be given the
|
|
2
|
2624 @code{defun-open} syntax, even if the keyword @code{inline} appeared

2714 @cindex substatement-block-intro syntactic symbol
|
|

2715 @cindex block-close syntactic symbol

|
0
|
2716 Line 4 has a brace which opens a conditional's substatement block. It
|
|
|
2717 is thus assigned @code{substatement-open} syntax, and since line 5 is
|
|
|
2718 the first line in the substatement block, it is assigned
|
|
|
2719 @code{substatement-block-intro} syntax. Lines 6 and 7 are assigned
|
|
|
2720 similar syntax. Line 8 contains the brace that closes the inner
|
|
2
|
2721 substatement block. It is given the syntax @code{block-close},
|
|
0
|
2722 as are lines 11 and 14.

2723

|
2724 @cindex else-clause syntactic symbol
|
|
|
2725 @cindex substatement syntactic symbol
|
|
|
2726 Line 9 is a little different --- since it contains the keyword
|
|
|
2727 @code{else} matching the @code{if} statement introduced on line 5, it is
|
|
0
|
2728 given the @code{else-clause} syntax. Note also that line 10 is slightly
|
|
|
2729 different too. Because @code{else} is considered a conditional
|
|
|
2730 introducing keyword @footnote{The list of conditional keywords are (in
|
|
2
|
2731 C, C++, Objective-C, and Java): @code{for}, @code{if}, @code{do},
|
|
|
2732 @code{else}, @code{while}, and @code{switch}. C++ and Java have two
|
|
|
2733 additional conditional keywords: @code{try} and @code{catch}. Java also
|
|
|
2734 has the @code{finally} and @code{synchronized} keywords.}, and because
|
|
|
2735 the following substatement is not a brace block, line 10 is assigned the
|
|
0
|
2736 @code{substatement} syntax.
|
|
|
2737
|
|
2
|
2738 @cindex do-while-closure syntactic symbol
|
|
0
|
2739 One other difference is seen on line 15. The @code{while} construct
|
|
|
2740 that closes a @code{do} conditional is given the special syntax
|
|
|
2741 @code{do-while-closure} if it appears on a line by itself. Note that if
|
|
|
2742 the @code{while} appeared on the same line as the preceding close brace,
|
|
|
2743 that line would have been assigned @code{block-close} syntax instead.
|
|
|
2744
|
|
|
2745 Switch statements have their own set of syntactic symbols. Here's an
|
|
|
2746 example:

2747 @example

2778 @cindex brace lists
|
|
|
2779 There are a set of syntactic symbols that are used to recognize

|
|
2780 constructs inside of brace lists. A brace list is defined as an
|
|
|
2781 @code{enum} or aggregate initializer list, such as might statically
|
|
|
2782 initialize an array of structs. For example:
|
|

2800 Following convention, line 2 in this example is assigned

|
|
2801 @code{brace-list-open} syntax, and line 3 is assigned
|
|
|
2802 @code{brace-list-intro} syntax. Likewise, line 6 is assigned
|
|
|
2803 @code{brace-list-close} syntax. Lines 4 and 5 however, are assigned
|
|
|
2804 @code{brace-list-entry} syntax, as would all subsequent lines in this
|
|
|
2805 initializer list.
|
|
|
2806

2807 External language definition blocks also have their own syntactic

|
|
|
2826 line 2 is given the @code{extern-lang-open} syntax while line 5 is given
|
|
|
2827 the @code{extern-lang-close} syntax. The analysis for line 3 yields:
|
|
|
2828 @code{((inextern-lang) (topmost-intro . 14))}, where
|
|
|
2829 @code{inextern-lang} is a modifier similar in purpose to @code{inclass}.

2831 A number of syntactic symbols are associated with parenthesis lists,

2861 Lines 5 and 12 are assigned @code{arglist-intro} syntax since they are

2862 the first line following the open parenthesis, and lines 7 and 14 are
|

2866 @cindex arglist-cont-nonempty syntactic symbol
|
|
|
2867 @cindex arglist-cont syntactic symbol
|
|
|
2868 Lines that continue argument lists can be assigned one of two syntactic
|
|
|
2869 symbols. For example, Lines 2 and 17
|
|
|
2870 are assigned @code{arglist-cont-nonempty} syntax. What this means
|
|
0
|
2871 is that they continue an argument list, but that the line containing the
|
|
2
|
2872 parenthesis that opens the list is @emph{not empty} following the open
|
|
0
|
2873 parenthesis. Contrast this against lines 6 and 13 which are assigned
|
|
|
2874 @code{arglist-cont} syntax. This is because the parenthesis that opens
|
|
110
|
2875 their argument lists is the last character on that line.
|
|
0
|
2876
|
|
|
2877 Note that there is no @code{arglist-open} syntax. This is because any
|
|
|
2878 parenthesis that opens an argument list, appearing on a separate line,
|
|
|
2879 is assigned the @code{statement-cont} syntax instead.

2958 In Objective-C buffers, there are three additional syntactic symbols
|
|
|
2959 assigned to various message calling constructs. Here's an example
|
|
|
2960 illustrating these:
|
|
|
2961 @example
|
|
|
2962 @group
|
|

2965 2: withStuff:stuff
|
|
|
2966 3: @{
|
|
|
2967 4: [delegate masterWillRebind:self
|
|
|
2968 5: toDelegate:anObject
|
|
|
2969 6: withExtraStuff:stuff];
|
|
|
2970 7: @}
|
|
|
2971
|
|
|
2972 @end group
|
|
|
2973 @end example
|

2974

|
2975 @cindex objc-method-intro syntactic symbol
|
|
|
2976 @cindex objc-method-args-cont syntactic symbol
|
|
|
2977 @cindex objc-method-call-cont syntactic symbol
|
|
0
|
2978 Here, line 1 is assigned @code{objc-method-intro} syntax, and line 2 is
|
|
|
2979 assigned @code{objc-method-args-cont} syntax. Lines 5 and 6 are both
|
|
|
2980 assigned @code{objc-method-call-cont} syntax.
|
|
|
2981
|
|
2
|
2982 @cindex knr-argdecl-intro
|
|
|
2983 @cindex knr-argdecl
|
|
|
2984 Two other syntactic symbols can appear in old style, non-prototyped C
|
|
|
2985 code @footnote{a.k.a. K&R C, or Kernighan & Ritchie C}:
|
|
|
2986 @example
|
|
|
2987 @group
|
|
|
2988
|
|
|
2989 1: int add_three_integers(a, b, c)
|
|
|
2990 2: int a;
|
|
|
2991 3: int b;
|
|
|
2992 4: int c;
|
|
|
2993 5: @{
|
|
|
2994 6: return a + b + c;
|
|
|
2995 7: @}
|
|
|
2996
|
|
|
2997 @end group
|
|
|
2998 @end example
|
|
|
2999
|
|
|
3000 Here, line 2 is the first line in an argument declaration list and so is
|
|
|
3001 given the @code{knr-argdecl-intro} syntactic symbol. Subsequent lines
|
|
|
3002 (i.e. lines 3 and 4 in this example), are given @code{knr-argdecl}
|
|
|
3003 syntax.

3013 C and its derivative languages are highly complex creatures. Often,
|
|
110
|
3014 ambiguous code situations arise that require @ccmode{} to scan
|
|
2
|
3015 large portions of the buffer to determine syntactic context. Such
|
|
|
3016 pathological code@footnote{such as the output of @code{lex(1)}!}
|
|
110
|
3017 can cause @ccmode{} to perform fairly badly.
|
|
0
|
3018 This section identifies some of the coding styles to watch out for, and
|
|
|
3019 suggests some workarounds that you can use to improve performance.
|
|
|
3020
|
|
110
|
3021 Because @ccmode{} has to scan the buffer backwards from the current
|
|
0
|
3022 insertion point, and because C's syntax is fairly difficult to parse in
|
|
110
|
3023 the backwards direction, @ccmode{} often tries to find the nearest
|
|
0
|
3024 position higher up in the buffer from which to begin a forward scan.
|
|
|
3025 The farther this position is from the current insertion point, the
|
|
110
|
3026 slower the mode gets. Some coding styles can even force @ccmode{}
|
|
177
|
3027 to scan from the beginning of the buffer for every line of code!
|
|
0
|
3028
|
|
|
3029 @findex beginning-of-defun
|
|
|
3030 @findex defun-prompt-regexp
|
|
|
3031 One of the simplest things you can do to reduce scan time, is make sure
|
|
|
3032 any brace that opens a top-level block construct always appears in the
|
|
|
3033 leftmost column. This is actually an Emacs constraint, as embodied in
|
|
110
|
3034 the @code{beginning-of-defun} function which @ccmode{} uses
|
|
0
|
3035 heavily. If you insist on hanging top-level open braces on the right
|
|
|
3036 side of the line, then you should set the variable
|
|
|
3037 @code{defun-prompt-regexp} to something reasonable @footnote{Note that
|
|
|
3038 this variable is only defined in Emacs 19.}, however that ``something
|
|
110
|
3039 reasonable'' is difficult to define, so @ccmode{} doesn't do it
|
|
0
|
3040 for you.
|
|
|
3041
|
|
110
|
3042 @vindex c-Java-defun-prompt-regexp
|
|
|
3043 @vindex Java-defun-prompt-regexp (c-)
|
|
|
3044 A special note about @code{defun-prompt-regexp} in Java mode: while much
|
|
|
3045 of the early sample Java code seems to encourage a style where the brace
|
|
|
3046 that opens a class is hung on the right side of the line, this is not a
|
|
|
3047 good style to pursue in Emacs. @ccmode{} comes with a variable
|
|
|
3048 @code{c-Java-defun-prompt-regexp} which tries to define a regular
|
|
|
3049 expression usable for this style, but there are problems with it. In
|
|
|
3050 some cases it can cause @code{beginning-of-defun} to hang@footnote{This
|
|
|
3051 has been observed in Emacs 19.34 and XEmacs 19.15.}. For this reason,
|
|
|
3052 it is not used by default, but if you feel adventurous, you can set
|
|
|
3053 @code{defun-prompt-regexp} to it in your mode hook. In any event,
|
|
|
3054 setting and rely on @code{defun-prompt-regexp} will definitely slow
|
|
|
3055 things down!
|
|
|
3056
|
|
|
3057 You will probably notice pathological behavior from @ccmode{} when
|
|
0
|
3058 working in files containing large amounts of cpp macros. This is
|
|
177
|
3059 because Emacs cannot be made to quickly skip backwards over these lines.

3062 @vindex recognize-knr-p (c-)
|
|
110
|
3063 Previous versions of @ccmode{} had potential performance problems
|
|
|
3064 when recognizing K&R style function argument declarations. This was
|
|
2
|
3065 because there are ambiguities in the C syntax when K&R style argument
|
|
110
|
3066 lists are used@footnote{It is hard to distinguish them from top-level
|
|
|
3067 declarations.}. @ccmode{} has adopted BOCM's convention for
|
|
2
|
3068 limiting the search: it assumes that argdecls are indented at least one
|
|
|
3069 space, and that the function headers are not indented at all. With
|
|
110
|
3070 current versions of @ccmode{}, user customization of
|
|
|
3071 @code{c-recognize-knr-p} is deprecated. Just don't put argdecls in
|
|
|
3072 column zero!

|
110
|
3076 You might want to investigate the speed-ups contained in the
|
|
165
|
3077 file @file{cc-lobotomy.el}, which comes as part of the @ccmode{}
|
|
|
3078 distribution, but is completely unsupported.
|
|
110
|
3079 As mentioned previous, @ccmode{} always trades accuracy for speed,
|
|
|
3080 however it is recognized that sometimes you need speed and can sacrifice
|
|
|
3081 some accuracy in indentation. The file @file{cc-lobotomy.el} contains
|
|
|
3082 hacks that will ``dumb down'' @ccmode{} in some specific ways, making
|
|
|
3083 that trade-off of speed for accuracy. I won't go into details of its
|
|
|
3084 use here; you should read the comments at the top of the file, and look
|
|
|
3085 at the variable @code{cc-lobotomy-pith-list} for details.

3183 @ccmode{} is now standard with later versions Emacs 19 and XEmacs 19.
|
|
|
3184 It is also the standard for XEmacs 20, and will be the standard for
|
|
|
3185 Emacs 20 (unreleased as of this writing). You would typically just use
|
|
|
3186 the version that comes with your X/Emacs. These may be slightly out of
|
|
|
3187 date due to release schedule skew, so you should always check the
|
|
|
3188 canonical site for the latest version.

3313 @code{c-indent-exp} has not been fully optimized. It essentially
|
|
|
3314 equivalent to hitting @kbd{TAB} (@code{c-indent-command}) on every
|
|
|
3315 line. Some information is cached from line to line, but such caching
|
|
|
3316 invariable causes inaccuracies in analysis in some bizarre situations.

3334 problem. Make sure you include a concise, but complete code example.
|
|
|
3335 Please try to boil your example down to just the essential code needed
|
|
|
3336 to reproduce the problem, and include an exact recipe of steps needed to
|
|

3337 expose the bug. Be especially sure to include any code that appears
