c-indent-level

c-indent-level

[Bryan Henderson]

C-mode does not seem to be indenting correctly.  c-indent-level is,
according to C-h v, set to 4, and Emacs is indenting 8 (with tab key and
indent-region).  The problem is with Emacs 21.4.  With the exact same
init.el and file, Emacs 20.2 indents 4 as I expect.

Do you mean c-basic-offset?

This variable is usually buffer-local (i.e. has a (potentially) different
value in each buffer), and is also a "style variable" (i.e., can get
set/overwritten by the CC Mode style system).

Such variables can be tricky.  Can you describe how you set
c-basic-offset, and post anything else relevant from your .emacs.
