Alan,

The following is a bug in GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (sparc-sun-solaris2.6,
OSF/Motif Version 1.2.6) of 2003-01-30 on athene:

If you load the piece of code below as a .cpp file into emacs, set the
region to cover the whole file, and execute M-x indent-region, it gets
transformed into the second fragment below, which is incorrectly
formatted. The reason is the interpretation of the substring
"default:" as the keyword default:.

Correctly formatted:

void main()
{
  int c;

  switch (c)
    {
    case 0:
      cout << "Here is a dummy error message containing the word default: which 
causes a formatting error" << endl;
      cout << "This is the result of the error" << endl;
    case 1:
      cout << "Here is a dummy error message not containing the colon after 
default which does not cause a formatting error" << endl;
      cout << "This is the result of there not being an error" << endl;

    default:
      // do nothing
    }
}

Incorrectly formatted:

void main()
{
  int c;

  switch (c)
    {
    case 0:
      cout << "Here is a dummy error message containing the word default: which 
causes a formatting error" << endl;
                                                                   cout << 
"This is the result of the error" << endl;
    case 1:
      cout << "Here is a dummy error message not containing the colon after 
default which does not cause a formatting error" << endl;
      cout << "This is the result of there not being an error" << endl;

    default:
      // do nothing
    }
}

Would you be able to report this as usual ? Appropriate to add that we
don't need a fix at this point, purpose of report is just so that they
can get it right next time.

TIA,
Roger.
