Re: cc-mode troubles with 21.4.3 -- who deals with this?

Actually, I agree that it is probably not cc-mode, per se, that is broken. Since cc-mode hasn't been changed and XEmacs was, the fault is probably with something in XEmacs that has changed and caused cc-mode to break. In any event, I suspect that a 21.4.4 will be shortly forthcoming that addresses these general parsing problems? If so, the developers working on those issues should confirm that cc-mode is working correctly at the same time, no? ...Jake Jake> Since upgrading from 21.1.12 to 21.4.3, cc-mode (latest package) is Jake> broken in a number of ways.
