[issue]: syntax failure in Objective-C Mode

Hi, XEmacs! 1. Using an up to date XEmacs and Packages, create the following Objective C file, class-30.m: ######################################################################### ＠interface Foo (Bar) <X, Y, Z> ＠end ＠interface Foo (Bar) <X, Y, Z> ＠end ######################################################################### 2. Kill the buffer and reload the file freshly. 3. M-: (scan-lists 1 1 -1). This (correctly) returns 17, just after the "(" on L2. 4. Put point at BOL3 ("<X ,Y, Z>"). Narrow to the first two lines with M-<, C-x n n. 5. With point at BOL3, (point-max), do M-: (looking-at c-opt-cpp-start). 6. M-: (scan-lists 1 1 -1). This now (buggily) returns 2. N.B. c-opt-cpp-start is "\\s *#\\s *\\([a-zA-Z0-9]+\\)". Speculation: the regexp code shares the use of the syntax cache with the syntax code, and somehow the `looking-at' call has fouled up the syntax cache for `scan-lists'. -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany). _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
