I was just wondering: For all you guys that use emacs to work on c++ files, what c++ modes/settings do you use. Locally I have played with a number of c++ modes and settings (and not knowing much about the internals of Emacs/Elisp) have not been very succesful. I've seen half a dozen people show me c++-modes that have all these various options and all that. I do not much care about most of these options. All I want is a mode that will allow me to simply and efficiently write c++ programs in a format similar to, say, Stroustrup or Lippman. No bells. No whistles. No gizmos. Just a simple mode that will take care of indentation, electric bracess, electric semi-colons and all the required games with colons, and other required indentation things. If you can help (have a decent/workable setup or know of something that I need to do to configure the c++ modes properly), please put me out of my misery (our c++ setup sucks, frankly!) by sending me the details concerning your setup. Any and all help will be most appreciated! Sincerely, Ata Bhatti bhatti@alpha.ces.cwru.edu bhatti@solarium.scl.cwru.edu
