Subject: 27.1; [C] wrong indent for knr-style arguments declaration
Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2020 16:02:02 +0100

Within "emacs -Q" session, open the following C source file:

------------------------------ foo.c
int f(i, j, k)
int i;
int j;
int k;
{
return 1;
}

int g(i, j, k)
int i;
int j, k;
{
return 1;
}
------------------------------

Then, do "C-c ." (c-set-style) to "k&r", and "c-c c-o" (c-set-offset),
and set "knr-argdecl-intro" to "+".

We have now the following values in c-offsets-alist :
knr-argdecl-intro : +  (First line of a K&R C argument declaration)
knr-argdecl : 0        (Subsequent lines in a K&R C argument declaration)

re-indent foo.c. At this stage we expect the following indentation for
arguments declarations.

------------------------------ expected indentation
int f(i, j, k)
    int i;
    int j;
    int k;
{
    return 1;
}

int g(i, j, k)
    int i;
    int j, k;
{
    return 1;
}
------------------------------

But we get the following result (please note line 11).

------------------------------ emacs indentation
int f(i, j, k)
    int i;
    int j;
    int k;
{
    return 1;
}

int g(i, j, k)
    int i;
int j, k;
{
    return 1;
}
------------------------------

It should be noted that if we separate each argument on separate lines
(function f), indentation is correct.
It is incorrect if multiple variables are in same declaration (function
g).

Also, multiple variables on first arguments declaration line seems to
have correct indentation.

Regards,

Bruno.

Hello, Bruno.

Thank you indeed for taking the trouble to report this bugi, and thanks
even more for cutting the problem down to a minimal test case.

Yes.  Somehow, CC Mode managed not to cater for the occurrence of two or
more identifiers in the same declaration.

Indeed.

The following patch should fix the problem.  Would you please apply it
to your Emacs (cc-engine.el is in .../emacs/lisp/progmodes) and byte
compile cc-engine.el.  Then please try it out on your real source code,
and either confirm the bug has indeed been fixed, or say what's still
wrong.  (If you would like any help with the patching or byte compiling,
feel free to send me private email.)

That fix was really fast !

I applied the patch, and it appears to work in a few source files I did try.
I did not notice any side effect so far : I will keep your version,
and let you know (in this bug thread) if I notice any issue that is
not present in original version.

Thanks again,

Bruno.

It was a high quality bug report, and easy to diagnose.

Thank you for such a fast test.  I am closing the bug with this post.
