Subject: problem with require-final-newline
Date: Thu, 13 May 2004 17:43:48 GMT	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <otOoc.1676$Dz.144176@attbi_s52> (raw)

   I have the line

	(setq-default require-final-newline t)

in my .emacs file.  When I save a .txt file without a final newline, I 
am asked whether to add a newline.  When I enter C-h v 
require-final-newline, I am informed this variable is set to query.

    However, when I save a .cpp or.h file without a terminating new 
line, the newline is silently added.  In fact when I enter C-h v 
require-final-newline, I am informed its value is set to t.

     Why is this variable not being set consistently across file types?
