Today I up to CVS HEAD Emacs, but C source code does not get syntax
highlighted. Other modes like lisp, shell look OK.

One likely cause is something in your .emacs intended to turn syntax
highlighting on for C mode, but which actually _toggles_ it.  And
since the default in CVS Emacs is _on_, you turn it off again.

Is this in "emacs -Q"?  If so, I cannot reproduce this.  Do you have
any messages in the *Messages* buffer that could shed a light on the
reason(s)?

Yes, it means invoke Emacs with the -Q command-line switch.

Yes, it does.  But we have to find out what causes that error.

If using -Q doesn't make this problem go away, please tell how up to
date is your Emacs code.  If you checked out the CVS tree yourself,
please tell at what date you did that.  If you got the sources from
someone else, please tell what is the first entry that you see in the
file lisp/ChangeLog.

I have narrowed down the changes which cause this issue. The CVS on
20060524 has no such issue, but 20060525 does. There are two and half
entries which were added between these two dates. I add their owners
to the CC list. Hope this help.

This doesn't explain why I don't see the problem on my machine, with
today's CVS.  Do you have this problem with every .c file, or just
with some?  If the latter, please post the smallest .c file which
causes the problem.

I'm using the CVS code checked out today. Actually, this problem
exists for me since the code checked out using -D20060525 or later.
The first entry in lisp/ChangeLog in my code is:

2006-06-03  Vivek Dasmohapatra  <vivek@etla.org>

        * progmodes/sh-script.el (sh-quoted-exec): New face for quoted
        exec constructs like `foo bar`.
        (sh-quoted-subshell): New helper function to search for a possibly
        nested subshell (like `` or $()) within a "" quoted string.
        (sh-font-lock-keywords-var): Add sh-quoted-exec for Bash.
        (sh-apply-quoted-subshell): Flag quote characters inside a
        subshell, which is itself already in a quoted region, as
        punctuation, since this is the closest to what they actually are.
        (sh-font-lock-syntactic-keywords): Add sh-quoted-subshell and
        sh-apply-quoted-subshell.
        (sh-font-lock-syntactic-face-function): Apply the new face for
        text inside `` instead of the old font-lock-string-face.

I have this problem in every .c file I opens. I'm using Ubuntu Dapper,
which is upgraded everyday. I checked out emacs from
":pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/sources/emacs".

Then maybe the difference is with how you configured and built Emacs.
Could you please tell what commands you used to configure and build,
and which options, if any, you used with those commands?  The
``usual'' build is to type "configure ; make bootstrap"; anything else
is ``unusual'', so please describe that.

I configured emacs using:

$ ../emacs/configure --prefix=/home/jie/installs/emacs --with-gtk

then do

$ make; make install

After reading your email, I tried "make bootstrap; make install" and
found then the highlighting works for C mode. Then I tried "make; make
install" again, however highlighting still works. Even "rm -rf
/home/jie/installs/emacs; make; make install" works now. It's rather
strange.

Thanks,
Jie

I'm guessing that you had some stale *.elc files in your tree, and
"make bootstrap" cured that, because it removes all *.elc files and
recompiles them anew.

Is it possible that the *.elc in my previous installed emacs caused
this issue? I found that I was prompted to "make bootstrap" when there
is no emacs installed. But I don't have to do "make boostrap" when
there is an emacs in stalled. How about to make "make bootstrap" the
default when doing "make"?

Yes, that's what I tried to explain above.

Sometimes, you need to do that, especially when some unexpected and
strange problems happen.  The build procedure is not smart enough to
detect all of those situations.

That would not be very wise: bootstrap takes much more time, and is
most of the time unnecessary if one resync's with the CVS frequently
enough.  See INSTALL.CVS for more about this.  If bootstrap becomes
the default, many users will be unnecessarily punished.

Thanks for helping me solve this issue and explain this to me!
