Subject: Parentheses in comments fontification bug
Date: Sun, 13 Jun 2004 10:12:30 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <062347F5EA06184999273868C1B4FD7F1A0E9B@server.Antenova.local> (raw)

In C mode there is a bug in the font-locking.  Inside a comment of the
/* */ sort, if you write
an opening parenthesis on the first column of a line, then a few lines
later fontification stops
working properly.

For example:

/* Storage allocation and gc for GNU Emacs Lisp interpreter.

works fine, but with this

/* Storage allocation and gc for GNU Emacs Lisp interpreter.

The fontification will stop working on the line starting
"MERCHANTABILITY".
If the "(at your option)" part is moved, fontification will work again.

I'm using:

GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
of 2004-03-10 on NYAUMO

Should I report this bug to the maintainer of CC mode?
