using the cc mode

using the cc mode

[Baloff]

Hello

when I am writing stuff in a .cpp file, emacs is using the cc mode by default? correct
in the mode line I have (C++/ah Abbrev Fill).
If I have stuff in my .emacs, does that cancel the default cc mode or adds to it?

not before I study emacs and Lisp in more details will I be able to answer my question. 
so here is my .emacs .......... many thanks

CC Mode is a collection of 7 similar modes, of which C++ Mode is one.
(The others are C, Java, Objective C, IDL, Pike and AWK.)  The stuff in
your .emacs _configures_ CC Mode in two ways:  It makes the defaults for
indentation, etc., conform to your team's coding standards, and it sets
up your own personal preferences (things like Auto New Line.)

A study which I earnestly urge you to embark upon.  Lisp is a much nicer,
more regular language than C or C++, and higher level, too.

You asked in another thread about making an "enum {" insert an
auto-newline.  I'll get back to you on that one.  :-)

it may be as you described it, but what about efficiency? its use in
the scientific/academic circle? mission critical applications... etc

thanks allot, I applicate your help.

Efficiency, as in Whetstones, Dhrystones, Rhollingstones, and so on, is
not Lisp's thing - it's (usually) an interpreted language.  As for the
scientific/academic circle, I don't really know, but I'd think so.  And I
don't know what a "mission critical application" is.  :-)

No, the thing about Lisp is its culture and history.  It goes back to
1957, when processing speeds were measured in kHz, not GHz, and core
store was a few thousand 36-words of little iron beads threaded on wires,
and RMS was just another little boy.  And if computer programming still
exists in 2057, Lisp probably has a better chance of surviving through
till then than any of the thousands of other Johnny-come-lately languages
which have popped up in the last few decades.

If you learn Lisp, you'll get a good insight into just how badly designed
most other programming languages are.  Get Lisp onto your CV, and you'll
be making the statement to your next employer "I am a man of culture, an
island of stability in the maelstrom of chaos, a possessor of shrewd
judgement, somebody who takes the long sober view, unswayed by the
vagaries of transient fashion."

And, of course, you'll be able to use Emacs more effectively.
