Hi,
cxxtest files http://cxxtest.tigris.org/ are essentially C++ code
I added
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.cxxtest$" . c++-mode) auto-mode-alist))
in my .emacs and it works just fine.
But it would be good if emacs could load them in C++ mode
automatically without adding that config line.
Thanks
Nil

http://www.google.com/codesearch?q=file%3A\.cxxtest%24
returns only 28 files, several of which aren't C++ code, so this does
not seem a very widely (or consistently) used extension.
Or were you asking for the type to be deduced based on the contents?

well, it seems google code hasn't found our project yet
https://launchpad.net/opencog. But I see your point... I did know
cxxtest were that much not used.

no, that seems a much harder task, but I surely it may be interesting too.

I searched on GitHub, and the only uses of extension:cxxtest I could
find at a glance were from the same project as the ones probably found
by Glen Morris in 2010 -- opencog.
I therefore agree that this is better handled as user or project
customization.
Would anyone object against closing this bug report as wontfix?
Thanks,
Stefan Kangas

Sounds like a good idea to me.

OK, I'll do that. If anyone feels differently, please re-open the bug
report.
