> In cc-mode (C lang files) calling backward-kill-word seems to be too eager. For example, given the following file and cursor position:
> 
> ```
> int main() {
>    printf("alpha beta gamma<cursor>
> }
> ```
> 
> calling backward-kill-word results in
> 
> ```
> int main() {
>    <cursor>
> }
> ```
> 
> while the expected result is probably:
> 
> ```
> int main() {
>    printf("alpha beta <cursor>
> }
> ```

> It seems that this is a regression in commit dae8aab52874441a70a94435d50f25b27301d9b0, by Alan Mackenzie on 2023-06-21.
