lisp, I am finding it hard to do it. I was wondering if any of you
guys have a lisp code which can match #if, #ifdef , #ifndef with its
corresponding #endif. ( basically matching preprocessor directives)
There are a few ways. In hideif.el, there are functions called
"forward-ifdef", "backward-ifdef", "next-ifdef", etc.. I
happen to use
another package, which I wrote (and think is much simpler):
ftp://ftp.sonic.net/pub/users/darrylo/xemacs/matchif.el
Inside this small file, is the single function, "match-if". When run,
this function simply displays the location of the enclosing #ifdef,
#else, etc.. Unlike the function in hideif.el, it doesn't move the
point.
