bug#11749: Acknowledgement (24.1; C-mode indentation gives wrong-type-argument error.)

[Kim Storm <storm@cua.dk>]

M-x report-emacs-bug obviously refuses to include any useful information 
-- so I send it through my Thunderbird client... this time.

Tried 24.2 RC2 - and once again I hit this annoying indentation bug i c 
mode:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument integer-or-marker-p 
(5457 . 5720))
   c-guess-basic-syntax()
   c-indent-line()
   indent-according-to-mode()
   c-electric-paren(nil)
   call-interactively(c-electric-paren nil nil)

The offsets corresponds to a preceding { ... } block.

The code I was working on is the following (sorry, I cannot show more 
than that):

       if (!((xdom | xact | xobj | xxtr) & 0x80))
     continue;

       if (domains && !alldom && !((xdom | xobj | xxtr) & 0x01))
     {


I get a lot of errors -- making 24.2 impossible to work with for my C code.

Here are some more backtraces:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Invalid search bound (wrong side 
of point)")
   re-search-backward("^[     ]*:[     ]*\\(.\\)?" 5920 t)
   c-lineup-gcc-asm-reg((arglist-cont-nonempty . 5920))
   c-evaluate-offset(c-lineup-gcc-asm-reg (arglist-cont-nonempty 5920 
5950) arglist-cont-nonempty)
   c-evaluate-offset((c-lineup-gcc-asm-reg c-lineup-arglist) 
(arglist-cont-nonempty 5920 5950) arglist-cont-nonempty)
   c-calc-offset((arglist-cont-nonempty 5920 5950))
   c-get-syntactic-indentation(((arglist-cont-nonempty 5920 5950)))
   c-indent-line()
   indent-according-to-mode()
   c-electric-paren(nil)
   call-interactively(c-electric-paren nil nil)


Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument integer-or-marker-p 
(5874 . 5881))
   c-guess-basic-syntax()
   c-indent-line()
   indent-according-to-mode()
   c-electric-paren(nil)
   call-interactively(c-electric-paren nil nil)

The last one came when I inserted the final ; in the last line of the 
following snippet:

static void add_hash_ext(idhash_t **hp, id_t *idtab, int n)
{

  }


   static idhash_t *lookup_ext(idhash_t **hp, );


Yes, there are syntax errors in that code -- but indentation should be 
able to
handle that without signalling errors all the time.



I have seen similar problems in 24.1 - but not in 23.4 that I usually
use (for this very reason).
