Andrew> (1) (warning/warning) Error caught in Andrew> `font-lock-pre-idle-hook': (wrong-type-argument stringp Andrew> nil) Nice backtrace! c-syntactic-ws-end is uninitialized. cc-mode guys, what's going on? Rest of original post follows for benefit of cc-mode developers: The lisp backtrace is listed below the rest of this email. I'm able to work just fine in a straight Javascript file, or in the HTML sections of an HTML file, and it has this error in embedded Javascript whether mmm-mode is running or not. Any suggestions? At the very least, I'd like to be able to kill the warning message - it fontifys the file just fine when it initially opens it, and that's good enough for me. Thanks!
