OK, then another candidate is the attached patch. This keeps the current
behavior of `LaTeX-verbatim-p' and introduces a new function
`LaTeX-verbatim-nobreak-p' as you suggested in your previous message.

However, I'm a bit reluctant.
1. If `LaTeX-verbatim-p' should return non-nil at just before
   "\verb", then it should also do so just before "\begin{verbatim}" for
   consistency, shouldn't it?
2. Suppose that you type "$" just before "\verb...". Then
   `TeX-insert-dollar' inserts only one "$" instead of "$$" under the
   current behavior of `LaTeX-verbatim-p', because `TeX-insert-dollar'
   uses `TeX-verbatim-p'. I think it's unexpected.

Thanks, I incorporated it with slight modification in the attached patch.

This time I leave that function as is.

In my previous patch, it's correct because I removed the chunk
      (if (looking-at (concat (regexp-quote TeX-esc) verbatim-regexp))
          (forward-char 1)
from `LaTeX-verbatim-macro-boundaries'. :-)

(By the way, I noticed that `LaTeX-verbatim-p' raises error when "\verb"
is at the end of the buffer without delimiters and its contents "|...|".
In fact `LaTeX-verbatim-macro-boundaries' and
`LaTeX-current-verbatim-macro' raise the same error. The reason is that
`LaTeX-verbatim-macro-boundaries' presumes there is nonempty string
after the macro body. Should we cater for such corner case?)

Best,
