Else Static If

Difference (last change) (no other diffs, normal page display)

Changed: 1c1,30

Describe the new page here.

If you're using the emacs D mode, you may have noticed that indentation of "else static if" clauses isn't handled properly.

There's a quick fix if you have access to the cc-mode files that come with your emacs installation.

This was tested with CC-mode 5.31.4. (see M-x c-version to get your version).

So to the main emacs lisp directory. And find lisp/progmodes/cc-engine.el.
Open it and search for this comment:

[[code]
;; Special case to avoid deeper and deeper indentation
;; of "else if" clauses.
]

Add an 'or' clause to that block of code that checks for 'static' following else. Should now look basically like this:
[[code]
((and (eq step-type 'up)
(>= (point) old-boi)
(looking-at "else\\>[^_]")
(save-excursion
(goto-char old-pos)
(or (looking-at "if\\>[^_]")
(looking-at "static\\>[^_]"))))
;; Special case to avoid deeper and deeper indentation
;; of "else if" clauses. // or "else static if"
)
]

Now M-x byte-compile-file the file, and restart emacs.
Should be fixed now.
