RE: comments in cc mode

[Massmann, M. (Michael)]

Dear Andreas,

Many thanks for this. Could you point me to the documentation for the options 
available for comment-style? After playing around with some of them I did not 
get the desired effect.

I also had a look at cc-mode's `c-indent-comment-alist' and set every single 
entry to `column' and `nil', so as to have the default column (ie 100) apply, 
no matter what the surrounding syntax is. The variable 
`c-indent-comments-syntactically-p' I set to nil so that it does not override 
the previous settings.

This seems to have the desired effect that when I press M-; to insert a *new* 
comment on a line, empty or not, the comment indeed starts in column 100.

Yet when I press M-; to re-align an *existing* comment, the entire comment is 
moved to a column other than 100 in 9 out of 10 cases.

Any advice on how to rectify this problem would be appreciated. Thanks!

Regards,
Michael
