That's very old. Emacs 22 was released in June 2007. Emacs 23 was released a few weeks ago, on 30th July. You could do worse than upgrading (or persuading your sysadmins to upgrade). Emacs 21 contained CC Mode 28, which is so old as to be barely supportable. If you can't upgrade your Emacs, you could certainly install a newer version of CC Mode in one of your own directories (see <http://cc-mode.sf.net/release.php>). > Type the following into a buffer which is in C++ mode. What version of CC Mode are you using (M-x c-version)? Have you or anybody else customised CC Mode at all? It might well help to see your complete CC Mode configuration (C-c C-b from within your C++ buffer, followed by cutting and pasting). > Try to get correct indentation for the second line of the while > condition or the line following it by hitting the TAB key.

Just as a suggestion, it might help things if you put a proper function header before the opening "{". It might not, though. People's opinions differ on what "correct" indentation is, which is why you can (and, sadly, MUST) configure it. So could you please say how you would like the line to be indented. One thing you could do is, with point on the "&& count" line, C-c C-s. This will give the syntactic analysis of the line, something like: Syntactic analysis: ((arglist-cont-nonempty 347 355)) . This says "the line is a continued argument list whose "anchor points" are at buffer positions 347 and 355". This is explained in the CC Mode manual in full detail. Now try C-c C-o. It will prompt you with something like: Syntactic symbol to change: arglist-cont-nonempty , and when you hit <CR>, you'll get, say,: arglist-cont-nonempty offset (default (c-lineup-gcc-asm-reg c-lineup-arglist)): , where you can type the new "offset" that you want. Try entering "+", or "++" or "*" or "-" here, just to get an idea of how this works. Then hit the <tab> key. Again, the full details of all this stuff are in the CC Mode manual. I can give you better help once you've replied with the details I've asked for. > { > do { > } while (fabs(chi2 - oldChi2) > 0 > && count < iterMax); > x= 1; > } > You can reach me under to...@sc..., I don't know if this > interface will place the right sender address on the mail. It didn't, but I have. :-) I've also directed your reply to bug...@gn..., which is a more specific mailing list. > I guess the stuff emacs put below will not be of much help, so I'm > cutting it (recent input, the bug appears independent of my input).
