Hello !

We are using GNU Emacs on our Decstation 3100. We are developping software
using GNU g++. A funny feature appears with the C mode of Emacs :

The C++ syntax allow symbol // for commentaries, but GNu Emacs doesn't kno this!

Here is the way we discovered this :

We have a commentary line containing a quote ('). Surprisingly, the TAB was
no more available for indenting after this line ! Removing the quote, the
TAB was again available. We try to write the commentary with the C syntax
(/*   */) and that was OK !

It is not really a bug, and it is not really annoying for us. We think it can
interest you, especially if you are intending to add a C++ mode to GNU Emacs..

P.S. Sorry for my very bad english !
