I'm having a bit of trouble getting comments to highlight in c-mode under Lucid Emacs 19.4. Everything else works fine, comments are highlighted in lisp etc. I had a dig around in the lightbrite syntax-decode and c-mode lisp code, but I'm not too well versed in lisp and couldn't see a solution. I tried setting syndecode-comment-start-regexp's value to "/*" and "*/" for end-regexp explicitly in a c-mode-hook. But once in c-mode, the value of both these variables is nil. Beyond that, I don't have any idea about the workings of syntax tables so I'm stuck. Any help would be appreciated, since what I would like highlighted more than anything else is comments.
