A couple of weeks ago, I added the following to my .emacs: ;; BEGIN OLD STUFF (defun ef-cish-setup ( ) (message "exit: In ef-cish-setup( )") (setq c-basic-offset 2) (setq c-default-style "bsd")) (add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'ef-cish-setup) (add-hook 'c++-mode-hook 'ef-cish-setup) (add-hook 'java-mode-hook 'ef-cish-setup) (require 'cc-mode) (c-set-offset 'substatement-open 0) (c-set-offset 'block-open 0) (c-set-offset 'statement-cont 0) (c-set-offset 'access-label '*) (c-set-offset 'inclass '+) (c-set-offset 'topmost-intro '+) (c-set-offset 'inline-open '+) ;; END OLD STUFF It worked pretty well but now I've decided I'd like to create an explicit style because, well, why not. Here's what my .emacs looks like now: ;; BEGIN NEW STUFF (require 'cc-mode) (defconst exits-c++-style '( (c-offsets-alist . ( (substatement-open . 0) (block-open . 0) (statement-cont . 0) (access-label . '*) (inclass . '+) (topmost-intro . '+) (inline-open . '+) ) ) (c-echo-syntactic-information-p . t) ) "exit's C++ Programming Style Comment" ) (defun exits-c-mode-common-hook () (message "In exits-c-mode-common-hook") (c-add-style "exits-c++-style" exits-c++-style t) (global-set-key "\C-ci" 'c-indent-line-or-region) ) (add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook 'exits-c-mode-common-hook) ;;C++ Hook (defun ef-c++-setup ( ) (message "exit: In ef-c++-setup( )") (c-set-style exits-c++-style) ) (add-hook 'c++-mode-hook 'ef-c++-setup) ;; END NEW STUFF I've been playing with this stuff all day but I can't seem to get it working. When I start emacs and visit a C++ file I get an error in the mini buffer which complains about: 'wrong-type-argument char-or-string-p' I'd paste the whole message but I can't figure out how to get the stuff out of the mini-buffer. I've read most or all of the cc-mode info but I still have a number of questions. 1) What's wrong with my style that causes the wrong-type-argument error? 2) Is there any further documentation anywhere on creating styles? The cc-mode info stuff documents how styles interact with cc-mode and gives an example style but doesn't seem to really cover creating a style explicitly 3) How can I make my style 'inherit' from the 'bsd' style. I seem to recall reading that one could do this but I can't figure out how to do it? 4) This is completely off-topic to the rest of the mail but what the heck: what can add to my .emacs file to force emacs to maximize immediatly after it's started? I googled a bit and oddly found several references to how to do it on w32 but came up empty with respect to Linux. Thanks in advance for any replies and I apologize for being so long-windeed. -exits __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Go to the *Messages* buffer, where all the messages accumulate. Even better, set the flag debug-on-error (with M-: (setq debug-on-error t)), then post the backtrace you'll get out of it (or include it in a bug report to <bug-cc-mode@gnu.org> (see below)). > I've read most or all of the cc-mode info but I still have a number of > questions. Your code works fine for me with GNU Emacs 21.1 and CC Mode 5.30.9. First two questions: Which version of Emacs (M-x emacs-version) and which version of CC Mode (M-x c-version)? It's "not impossible" that the problem would vanish with the latest CC Mode, if you're not using it already. It's available at <http://www.sourceforge.net/release.php>. > 1) What's wrong with my style that causes the wrong-type-argument > error? Nothing that I can see. Unless it's something obvious that's gone wrong, it would be appreciated if you could send an (even more detailed) bug report to <bug-cc-mode@gnu.org>, using M-x c-submit-bug-report. This automatically includes the values of all CC Mode's configuration variables. > 2) Is there any further documentation anywhere on creating styles? The > cc-mode info stuff documents how styles interact with cc-mode and gives > an example style but doesn't seem to really cover creating a style > explicitly It could be better, couldn't it? No, there isn't any more documentation that I know of, unless it's on the Emacs wiki site, or somewhere like that. However, there's no reason not to improve this documentation. I've just tried skimming through the Style section, and I end up on the page "Adding styles", which describes the command `c-add-style'. It contains the passage: "then a new style according to DESCRIPTION is added,", but doesn't give any hint as to what DESCRIPTION looks like, other than directing one to the sample .emacs file. This is a documentation bug. I'll fix it. Would you be happy with the documentation if c-add-style's DESCRIPTION parameter was documented here, or are there other problems too? > 3) How can I make my style 'inherit' from the 'bsd' style. I seem to > recall reading that one could do this but I can't figure out how to do > it? Have a look at the documentation string for c-style-alist. (C-h v c-style-alist). From this you can infer that "bsd" is to be added as follows. Naturally, it ought to be explicitly documented in the manual. (defconst exits-c++-style "bsd" ; <=========================== '( .... .... ) "exit's C++ Programming Style Comment" ) > Thanks in advance for any replies and I apologize for being so > long-windeed. Not at all! It's a damn sight better than a post whose entire content is "I'm having trouble with C++ styles. Can you help me please?". Thanks for producing such a detailed report. > -exits -- Alan Mackenzie (Munich, Germany) Email: aacm@muuc.dee; to decode, wherever there is a repeated letter (like "aa"), remove half of them (leaving, say, "a"). ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
