[gnu.emacs] C++ mode

aeichsta@athena.mit.edu (Andrew J. Eichstaedt) (01/11/90)

I'm sure this has been addressed before, but at the time, I wasn't using
C++. Could someone mail me the address of an ftp site where I can get
C++ mode for GNU Emacs?  Thanks!

I have got two totally different versions.

The first is

;; DAIMS C++ mode by Bruce Eckel   Version 1.0 12/8/87
;; automatically invoked on any file with a suffix of ".cxx" or ".hxx"
;;
;; Bruce Eckel: eckel@beluga.ocean.washington.edu
;;              uw-beaver!beluga!eckel
;;              bitnet: eckel%namu.ocean.washington.edu@UWAVM
;;

and the second

;; C++ code editing commands for Emacs
;; 1987 Dave Detlefs  (dld@cs.cmu.edu) 
;; and  Stewart Clamen (clamen@cs.cmu.edu).
;; Done by fairly faithful modification of:
;; c-mode.el, Copyright (C) 1985 Richard M. Stallman.
;;
;; Oct, 1989 (Dave Detlefs, dld@cs.cmu.edu)
;;   Added contribution from Igor Metz <metz@iam.unibe.ch>:

What I am interested in is any comments from users of either or both
of these.  I am a relative newcomer to C++, but am teaching a cource
on it this term.  I would like the students to have a useful mode
available to them.  The problem is which?
