Subject: 23.1.50; CC-mode: Impossible to set c-cleanup-list
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2009 13:14:45 +0200

I customize c-cleanup-list.  This is then the full contents of my
.emacs:
(custom-set-variables
  ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
  ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
  ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 '(c-cleanup-list (quote (scope-operator space-before-funcall))))
(custom-set-faces
  ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
  ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
  ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 )

I start emacs with --no-site-file, open a .c-file.
Check the value of c-cleanup-list:

c-cleanup-list is a variable defined in `cc-vars.el'.
Its value is (scope-operator)

Local in buffer xftfont.c; global value is 
(scope-operator space-before-funcall)

And indeed, space-before-funcall is not in effect.  It seems impossible to
set this variable.  I also tried setting c-old-style-variable-behavior to t,
but it made no difference.

The manual needs to explain how to set variables in a manner that works,
an example with lisp to add to .emacs would be nice also.
