Hi,
I have found two related issues. Both are evident in csharp-mode, but
can easily be reproduced in c-mode.
Issue 1 (cc-mode.el):
When c-multiline-string-start-char is set, font locking breaks after
changes in string literals. The issue started after commit 2ca12bb3de:
I believe that '(c-remove-string-fences (car end-limits))' should be
'(c-remove-string-fences (1- (cdr end-limits)))'
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a .c file;
2. Eval '(setq c-multiline-string-start-char ?@)';
3. Delete/insert double quotes.
I think this issue is related:
Issue 2 (maybe syntax.el):
When syntax-propertize-function is set (to '(lambda (beg end) nil)',
for example), a similar problem occurs if electric-pair-mode (or even
smartparens) is enabled.
The symptoms started after commit 585fb95739,
but I don't know if it is related.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a .c file;
2. Eval '(setq syntax-propertize-function (lambda (beg end) nil)';
3. Enable electric-pair-mode;
4. Insert/delete empty strings.
