Q: less intelligent c-mode

[Sven Utcke <utcke+news@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]

Hi,

within mmm-mode, I need to write some C-code.  However, this will not
be valid C-code, but rather some fragments only; in particular there
will not generally be a function declaration included.  However,
cc-mode in that case insists to 
a) indent everything to start in the first column
b) colour anything starting in column 1 as a function declaration.
Is there any way lobotomize cc-mode some in such a way that it will
indent relative to the first line within the region it is seeing?

Sven

PS: To give you an idea: cc-mode will indent

  for (i=1; i<the_outline->n; i++) {
    VASSERT(the_outline->x[2][i] == 1.0);
  }                           /* end for |i| */
  if (verbose) {
    fprintf(stderr, "# dist = %g\n", dist);
  }

as

  for (i=1; i<the_outline->n; i++) {
    VASSERT(the_outline->x[2][i] == 1.0);
}                           /* end for |i| */
if (verbose) {
  fprintf(stderr, "# dist = %g\n", dist);
}
