Subject: 23.2; c++ parenthesis matching problem
Date: Mon, 10 May 2010 11:58:00 -0700

I do C++ programming on Emacs. When I call methods of a class from an object pointer and write
like object->get_value(); The sign '>' is considered like parenthesis
and causes indentation mistakes, although the program compiles and
executes without any problems.

Hi, Ertan,

this is a known problem with C++.  It takes semantic analysis (i.e. a
compiler) reliably to distinguish between "greater than" and "close
template".  However, there are improvements to this being worked on.

Is there any chance you could supply a preferably small but complete
piece of source code which illustrates the problem?  Does the bug happen
with every -> operator, or only in certain circumstances?

More information was requested three years ago, but no further progress
has been made, so I'm closing this bug report.  If this problem is still
present, please reopen the bug report.
