c-fill-paragraph closing comment delimiter, emacs 23.4.1

c-fill-paragraph closing comment delimiter, emacs 23.4.1

[William M. (Mike) Miller]

The behavior of c-fill-paragraph with regard to the closing delimiter of the
paragraph has changed in version 23.4.1 from that of version 21.2.1.  My
company has a coding standard that begins each C function with a
comment of the form

/*
Description...
*/

In version 23.4.1, running c-fill-paragraph (M-q) with the point in such a
comment moves the closing delimiter onto the last line of the description,
e.g.,

/*
Description... */

Version 21.2.1 respected the placement of the closing delimiter on a line
by itself.

Is there a setting I can use to force version 23.4.1 not to wrap the closing
delimiter onto the last line of the comment text?

AFAIK it's developed here:

Thanks; I hadn't realized that there was a more-specific mailing list for
this.  I'll post there.

For anyone else who might be interested, this appears to have been a
bug that is fixed in more recent versions.  It turns out that 24.0.96.1 is
available (though not the default) for Cygwin, and after upgrading, the
closing delimiter stays on its own line, as desired.

I'd have thought that 24.1 would be available for Cygwin by now.  It has been available on other platforms for over a month now.
