The following C++14 source code, which is also attached as `mwe.cpp', shows the indentation problem: --8<------------------------------ #include #include static std::vector> fn(std::vector> data) { return { {1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}, {7, 8, 9}, }; } static std::vector> fn(unsigned n, std::vector> data) { return { {n + 1, n + 2, n + 3}, {n + 4, n + 5, n + 6}, {n + 7, n + 8, n + 9}, }; } int main() { /* Expected indentation */ fn({ {1, 2, 3}, {3, 4, 5}, {6, 7, 8}, }); for (const auto &v : fn({ {3, 4, 5}, {6, 7, 8}, {9, 10, 11}, })) { for (const auto &a : v) { std::cout << a << '\n'; } } /* End: Expected indentation */ /* Problem */ fn(20, { {1, 2, 3}, {3, 4, 5}, {6, 7, 8}, }); for (const auto &v : fn(20, { {3, 4, 5}, {6, 7, 8}, {9, 10, 11}, })) { for (const auto &a : v) { std::cout << a << '\n'; } } /* End: Problem */ } --8<------------------------------ To fix the problem, I make the following patch: --8<------------------------------ diff --git a/lisp/progmodes/cc-engine.el b/lisp/progmodes/cc-engine.el index 05b391a..077e9c9 100644 --- a/lisp/progmodes/cc-engine.el +++ b/lisp/progmodes/cc-engine.el @@ -10387,6 +10387,7 @@ comment at the start of cc-engine.el for more info."
