Pardon me, but I can't see the difference between these two fragments'
indentation.  Maybe too much Elisp programming makes one go blind.

These settings would be at the heart of the major mode.

However, since you mention c++ mode, I'll tell you where to look to find
out about changing them in that mode.  In the CC Mode manual, have a look
at the pages "Sample .emacs file", then "Customizing Indentation" and
it's sub-pages.

For quick interactive customization, try C-c C-o.
