c++-mode vs. c-mode

[Rancier, Jeff]

Is there a simple way to have c++-mode behave (or inherit) my customizations
for c-mode?

If you really mean that you don't care about c++-mode per-se, but would be
happy with working on c++ code in c-mode, one way would be to add a construct
into your .emacs like this:

(setq auto-mode-alist
      (append '(("\\.C$"  . c-mode)
                ("\\.cc$" . c-mode)
                ("\\.hh$" . c-mode)
                ("\\.c$"  . c-mode)
                ("\\.h$"  . c-mode))
              auto-mode-alist))


to force c++ code to be edited in c-mode.

Put your customizations in a c-mode-common-hook function, or if you
don't want those customizations affecting Objective-C, Java, etc.
buffers: (add-hook 'c++-mode-hook (lambda () (run-hooks 'c-mode-hook)))

What customizations are those, and how did you set things up to
activate them?

If you activate them from c++-mode-hook, one solution is to activate
them from c-mode-common-hook instead.
