displaying #ifdef statements

displaying #ifdef statements

[Javier Oviedo]

Hello all:

I am using emacs 21.2.1 on WinXP.

Is there a way to display the location of #ifdef statements in a similar
fashion as parens/brackets?

Currently I place the cursor on a paren/bracket and the minibuffer displays
the match and what it is associated with.

For example:

if (x == 1)
{

}

What I see displayed in the minibuffer, when I place the cursor in the
closing brace, is the following:

if (x == 1)  RET  {   [linenumber]


Could the same be applied to #ifdef statements...placing the cursor on a
#endif ?

Thanks in advance.

Javier

I don't know an equivalent to blink-matching-paren, but perhaps
hide-ifdef-mode would be close to what you want?

It is useful. The equivalent of blink-match-paren would still be the most
desirable. Thanks for you idea, though.
