[gnu.emacs.help] GNU Emacs c++-mode.el and double colons

gengenba@forwiss.uni-passau.de (Michael Gengenbach) (05/22/91)

Hi,

I have a problem with c++-mode.el for GNU Emacs. If I set c-auto-newline
and then type

       class::function

I get

       class:
       :
         function

I use c++-mode.el last edited Jun, 1990 (Dave Detlefs, dld@cs.cmu.edu).
It says in the comment:

;; Feb, 1990 (Dave Detlefs, dld@cs.cmu.edu)
;;   Fixed electric-c++-terminator to handle double colons, at the
;;   request of John Hagerman.

But neither John Hagerman nor Dave Detlefs could help me. They both don't
support c++-mode.el anymore.

So can anybody help me? Probably it's my fault anyway?

BTW, Dave suggested to post and ask if anyone else considers himself to
be maintaining c++-mode.el? 

Regards

   Michael

I do:
(setq c++-electric-colon nil)

in my .emacs to "solve" that problem.
