FW: cc-mode bug

[Marshall, Simon]

I'm forwarding this report from Feng Li.  (I'm not the guy responsible and I'm not in the Emacs team - I just fixed a couple of the issues that annoyed me and were relatively easy!)

 

AFAICS, the bug is that the pretest no longer fontifies the below declaration of B::foo(), presumably because it does not know that __stdcall is a platform-specific keyword.  (I'm not volunteering to fix this...)

 

Is it OK to report bugs to these lists, or should I go through sourceforge.net?

 

Simon.

Subject: cc-mode bug

Hi Simon,

I've noticed a couple of bugs of cc-mode 5.31.4 in 
the current CVS Emacs.  I know I'm supposed to send bug reports to the 
cc-mode project page at sourceforge, but due to the recent earthquake near 
Taiwan, it's currently very difficult to access sourceforge.net from China.  Since you 
looks like the guy responsible for cc-mode in the Emacs team, I guess maybe I 
could ask you about my problems.

Here are the 2 cases that the latest 
cc-mode failed to fontify correctly. IIRC, earlier versions of cc-mode used to 
handle these code without problem. 

class DLLEXPORT 
A
{
};

class B
{
    void __stdcall 
foo();
};

However, this code is fontified 
correctly.

class __declspec(dllexport) A
{
};

So it seems 
the new cc-mode only recognize certain tokens before a type name while earlier 
versions can skip uncrecognized tokens.

Thansks for your time.
