c-mode customisations I've been using for decades no longer work. In
particular, nothing I do in ~/.emacs will set c-cleanup-list to my
preferences, including space-before-funcall. Right after I installed a
new OS with a new version of emacs, it contained only scope-operator;
now, after a lot of tinkering, it comes up as "c-cleanup-list's value is
set-from-style". Either way, it utterly ignores the value set in
custom-set-variables, a line in
(add-hook 'c-mode-hook
(function (lambda ()
...
(add-to-list 'c-cleanup-list 'space-before-funcall
compact-empty-funcall))
and a direct
(setq c-cleanup-list (quote (brace-else-brace brace-elseif-brace empty-defun-braces defun-close-semi list-close-comma scope-operator space-before-funcall compact-empty-funcall)))
Likewise (setq c-electric-pound-behavior (quote (alignleft))) and
'(c-electric-pound-behavior (quote (alignleft))) in custom-set-variables
does nothing at all.
Any hints? Nothing I've found on the net, including the suggestion from
the cc-mode manual
;; Create my personal style.
(defconst my-c-style
...
works.
