To whom it may concern: I send you a either bug or specific report about font-lock.el . I use XEmacs 21.4.3 (Academic Rigor) with RedHat Linux 7.0 Kernel 2.4.9 . For example, void function(FirstParameter * pointer1, SecondParameter * pointer2) { long_long_name_of_type variable_name1, // comment variable_name2, // comment variable_name3; // comment --- return; } When I use font-lock.el, this code is painted without variable_name2 and variable_name3. Of cource,gcc compiler psaa the code, and comments are painted,but variable_name2,3 will be not painted. This cording style may be small number of users,though it is not wrong. Would you mind supporting this case? ---From Japan GGB03631(a)nifty.ne.jp Atsushi Shinmura
