Hello Alan,

Are you able to look into this issue? It is one of the few bugs
remaining in FOR-RELEASE.

Hello, Richard and Glenn,

Yes, I'm looking at this now!

Hallo, Glenn,

I've just commited a patch to cc-engine.el (both in the trunk and
Emacs-22 branch) which fixes this.

How soon is Emacs 22.2 going to happen?  (I've got one or two other bug
fixes in CC Mode to transfer to savannah.)

Thank you very much, that's great.

It's impossible to say. It seems to depend on FOR-RELEASE becoming
empty of bugs before someone happens to report a new bug of any kind.

There is one remaining bug (`pos-visible-in-window-p at ellipsis')
that I have looked at but don't know how to fix. :( Someone familiar
with the display code would need to add ellipsis handling to
pos_visible_p in xdisp.c.

Very few bugs have been added in the past couple of months.
Unfortunately people have not fixed many either.  Would people
please turn their attention to fixing the Emacs 22 bugs?

Also, who would like to take charge of Emacs 22 pretesting?

I can do the Emacs 22.2 pretesting, whenever it begins.

Subject: c-mode syntactic analysis regression in emacs-22.1

Hello,

emacs-22.1 does not indent the following excerpt correctly because the syntactic
analyser tags the members appearing after "abaz" as k&r arguments.

==========
#define FOO(t) struct { struct t tv; struct t *tp; }

struct baz {
  int nothing;
};

struct bar {       /* ((topmost-intro 84)) */
  FOO(baz) abaz;   /* ((inclass 88) (topmost-intro 88)) */
	   int a;  /* ((knr-argdecl 145)) !!! */
};
=========

emacs-21 works ok; it gives ((inclass . 88) (topmost-intro . 134)) for "int a;".

It is quite annoying, and I don't really know how to fix it.


Eric.
