My understanding is that GNU Emacs doesn't do anything unless its
asked to do so. Below, I am quoting an extract from the Emacs info
documentation. Is this of any help?
<info>
Electric C Characters
In C mode and related modes, certain printing characters are
"electric"--in addition to inserting themselves, they also reindent
the current line and may insert newlines. This feature is controlled
by the variable `c-auto-newline'. The "electric" characters are `{',
`}', `:', `#', `;', `,', `<', `>', `/', `*', `(', and `)'.
Electric characters insert newlines only when the "auto-newline"
feature is enabled (indicated by `/a' in the mode line after the mode
name). This feature is controlled by the variable `c-auto-newline'.
You can turn this feature on or off with the command `C-c C-a':
`C-c C-a'
Toggle the auto-newline feature (`c-toggle-auto-state'). With a
prefix argument, this command turns the auto-newline feature on if
the argument is positive, and off if it is negative.
