Hello.
I noticed CC-Mode sometimes doesn't identify correctly function names
when a macro name is involved in the function definition. Try the
following recipe to see the problem:
1) emacs -Q
2) C-x C-f test.c
3) Type the following function definitions:
int DUMMY
foo (void)
{
return 1;
}
DUMMY int
bar (void)
{
return 0;
}
4) Observe that:
a) foo doesn't get fontified with font-lock-function-name-face, but
DUMMY does. Consequently, C-c C-z inside foo echoes
DUMMY as the function name, in the echo area.
b) In bar, DUMMY gets font-lock-type-face, which I don't
think is correct. bar gets font-lock-function-name-face and C-c C-z
works as expected.
---
Other problem is with fontification of the return type in the following:
bool DUMMY
baz_t (void)
{
return true;
}
bool
baz_f (void)
{
return false;
}
Observe that bool doesn't get fontified in baz_t, but DUMMY does. When
DUMMY is not present, bool gets fontified correctly (as in baz_f).
If it helps, I found the problem in a source file with functions that
have macros that declare some function attributes, like
_GL_ATTRIBUTE_PURE.
Best regards,
Mauro.
