Message #5 received at submit <at> emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com (full text, mbox):
The docstring says:
Note: The value of `indent-tabs-mode' will determine whether a real
tab character will be inserted, or the equivalent number of spaces.
When inserting a tab, actually the function stored in the variable
`c-insert-tab-function' is called.
But this is not quite true. As far as I can tell from the code,
indent-tabs-mode is not tested before calling c-insert-tab-function. What
the documentation seems to mean is that if c-insert-tab-function has its
default definition, insert-tab, then the first sentence applies. I suggest
therefore the following paragraph in place of the above:
The function stored in the variable `c-insert-tab-function' is called
when a tab is to be inserted. By default, this function is `insert-tab',
which uses the value of `indent-tabs-mode' to determine whether a real
tab character will be inserted, or the equivalent number of spaces.
