Re: Mysterious fontification/C++ context issue

[Richard Stallman]

Corrected message:


    It's a consequence of the recent change to `beginning-of-defun-raw'.
    Compare the threads "font-locking and open parens in column 0" and
    "emacs hangs in jit-lock".

What sort of text causes this error in scan_lists?

We want to do something to prevent C mode from always scanning from
the start of the file; perhaps setting
open-paren-in-column-0-is-defun-start to t, perhaps providing a
beginning-of-defun-function.  But aside from that, this could be a bug
that we should also fix.
