--- Begin Message ---Package: emacs20 Version: 20.7-13.1 I hope this isn't just a case of me doing something wrong, but after 8 hours of trying to trace elisp code, I can't seem to find anything else. I'm trying to extend the c-mode "fill-paragraph" functionality to understand a comment block using "//!" at the start (for Doxygen). As near as I can tell, my savior is: c-comment-start-regexp This buffer-local variable specifies how to recognize the start of a comment. I've changed this variable to: c-comment-start-regexp's value is "/[/*][!]?" Local in buffer dataio.c; global value is "/[/*]" Documentation: not documented as a variable. Defined in `cc-langs'. But when I do M-q, it behave the same as it did before I appended the "[!]?". Before: //! //! A "DataIo" object is an abstract input/output device. It allows other code //! to run without knowing any specifics about the underlying driver, thus //! providing the ability to write code much as one would use standard i/o //! paths under unix or dos. //! After: //! ! A "DataIo" object is an abstract input/output device. It allows other //code ! to run without knowing any specifics about the underlying driver, //thus ! providing the ability to write code much as one would use standard //i/o ! paths under unix or dos. ! Here's what I've learned (I think :-) by my attempts to debug elisp... In the function "c-fill-paragraph" (cc-cmds.el), the "c-comment-start-regexp" variable is not referenced until line #1645. However, the function doesn't seem to get down there as the original "if" on line #1594 appears to be true and the code block starting at line #1597 gets executed instead.
