;;; C comment mode - An auto-filled comment mode for gnu c-mode. ;;; ;;; Author: Robert Mecklenburg ;;; Computer Science Dept. ;;; University of Utah ;;; From: mecklen@utah-gr.UUCP (Robert Mecklenburg) ;;; Also hartzell@Boulder.Colorado.EDU ;;; (c) 1986, University of Utah ;;; ;;; Everyone is granted permission to copy, modify and redistribute ;;; this file, provided the people they give it to can. ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;;; ;;; I have written a "global comment" minor-mode which performs auto-fill, ;;; fill-paragraph, and auto-indentation functions. This function only ;;; works for comments which occupy an entire line (not comments to the ;;; right of code). The mode has several options set through variables. ;;; If the variable c-comment-starting-blank is non-nil multi-line ;;; comments come out like this: ;;; ;;; /* ;;; * Your favorite ;;; * multi-line comment. ;;; */ ;;; ;;; otherwise they look like this: ;;; ;;; /* Your Favorite ;;; * multi-line comment. ;;; */ ;;; ;;; If the variable c-comment-hanging-indent is non-nil K&R style comments ;;; are indented automatically like this: ;;; ;;; /* my_func - For multi-line comments with hanging indent ;;; * the text is lined up after the dash. ;;; */ ;;; ;;; otherwise the text "the text" (!) is lined up under my_func. If a ;;; comment fits (as typed) on a single line it remains a single line ;;; comment even if c-comment-starting-blank is set. If ;;; c-comment-indenting is non-nil hitting carriage return resets the ;;; indentation for the next line to the current line's indentation ;;; (within the comment) like this: ;;; ;;; /* Typing along merrily.... ;;; * Now I indent with spaces, when I hit return ;;; * the indentation is automatically set to ;;; * ^ here. ;;; */ ;;; ;;; Due to my lack of understanding of keymaps this permanently resets M-q ;;; to my own fill function. I would like to have the comment mode ;;; bindings only in comment mode but I can't seem to get that to work. ;;; If some gnu guru can clue me in, I'd appreciate it. ;;; (defvar c-comment-starting-blank t "*Controls whether global comments have an initial blank line.")
