That is definitively the case, when system-type is windows-nt (or
cygwin), Emacs can't distinguish ".c" from ".C". Here is the relevant
code in function `set-auto-mode' in files.el, that set
`case-fold-search' before trying to `string-match' regexps in
`auto-mode-alist':
(let ((alist auto-mode-alist)
(mode nil))
;; Find first matching alist entry.
(let ((case-fold-search
(memq system-type '(vax-vms windows-nt cygwin))))
(while (and (not mode) alist)
(if (string-match (car (car alist)) name)
....
I use the following hack in my startup file, that fixes the problem:
(when (eq system-type 'windows-nt)
;; File system is case insensitive. Ensure that .C or .H will not
;; open in `c++-mode'. Reorder `auto-mode-alist' so `c-mode'
;; regexps will be matched before `c++-mode' ones.
(let* (aml cml)
(dolist (elt auto-mode-alist)
(if (eq 'c-mode (cdr elt))
(push elt cml)
(push elt aml)))
(setq auto-mode-alist (nreverse (nconc aml cml))))
)
Hope it helps.
Sincerely,
David
