It's quite possible that without Matt's code you simply don't notice that 997 of those 998 calls to scan_list are redundant, in any Emacs. Remember all we're doing here is to _indent one line_. In the case of the TAB (which causes twice as many scans!!), font-lock should not change anything---if it does there's a bug! Arguably font-lock (less likely, cc-mode) is broken. In languages where indentation is not syntactically significant, there is no good reason for changes in indentation to cause XEmacs to go charging up and down the buffer scanning sexps. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Don't ask how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
