Re: Release of CC Mode 5.31

[Richard M. Stallman]

    After I saw the problem, but before I reported it, I recompiled all
    the cc-*.el files, by "make recompile".  Perhaps that command does not
    compile the files in the order you mention.  It would be nice if it
    did that automatically.

There is no Emacs feature to control order of compilation,
so there would be no easy way to make that automatic.

However, I wonder about this:

Why is it crucial to compile cc-langs.el before compiling cc-mode.el?
Once you have deleted cc-langs.elc, compilation of cc-mode.el will use
the source file, cc-langs.el.  Does compilation of cc-mode.el fail to
work properly with the interpreted cc-langs.el?
