I've created a `.dir-locals.el` in a C project I work on: ~~~ ((nil . ()) (c-mode . ((c-file-style . "stroustrup"))) ) ~~~ However, when visiting a file in the project all labels have a minimum indent of 1. After quite a bit of digging I found that this behaviour comes from `'c-label-minimum-indentation` and the GNU hook. My questions: 1. Why is the GNU hook there at all? (As far as I understand the Stroustrup style shouldn't include it.) 2. Is it possible to control the minimum label indentation from the style? 3. Apparently `'c-label-minimum-indentation` isn't safe for dir local settings, so what does the typical Emacs user do, mark the value 0 as safe for `'c-label-minimum-indentation`, or simple set it to 0 in `~/.emacs.d/init.el`? Thankful for any and all answers/suggestions/replies. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid with millions of bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural integrity, but just done by brute force and thousands of slaves. -- Alan Kay
