Actually, now that I've looked at my code again, I realized that it wasn't right -- the code does indeed need to know if the last matching comment element came at the end of the passed in region, not the space before it. With my patch, a visual glitch appears if you're typing a string in a font-locked mode; the font-locking will lag one character behind the end of the string. So, a more correct patch follows... I've been working with this for a while yesterday with no crashes. - Vlad Index: syntax.c =================================================================== RCS file: /usr/CVSroot/XEmacs/xemacs/src/syntax.c,v retrieving revision 1.7.2.18 diff -u -r1.7.2.18 syntax.c --- syntax.c 2001/02/09 16:00:37 1.7.2.18 +++ syntax.c 2001/02/16 16:34:57 ＠＠ -831,7 +831,11 ＠＠ section */ { from++; - UPDATE_SYNTAX_CACHE_FORWARD (from); + UPDATE_SYNTAX_CACHE_FORWARD (from); + if (from == stop) + { + return -1; + } break; } }
