Should not the second regexp in

 (font-lock-add-keywords 'c-mode
  '(("\\<\\(FIXME\\):" 1 font-lock-warning-face prepend)
    ("\\<\\(and\\|or\\|not\\)\\>" . font-lock-keyword-face)))

use a shy subgroup like in

 (font-lock-add-keywords 'c-mode
  '(("\\<\\(FIXME\\):" 1 font-lock-warning-face prepend)
    ("\\<\\(?:and\\|or\\|not\\)\\>" . font-lock-keyword-face)))



Same problem with the second example.

It could.  But the use of a normal group is harmless.

I thought it was slower?

No, it's not.  Maybe you're thinking about greedy matching?  Anyway, I'm
going to close this bug.

No, I was not. I just thought finding the extra match data was a bit slower.

Thanks for telling.

Well, it is marginally slower, but you'd be hard pressed to measure
the difference.
