Emacs dummy headers mode without Objective C
14 Jun 2015
Choosing between C mode and C++ mode in emacs for header files can be a
bit of a chore if both types of header files have a .h extension. As
usual, a package for solving this problem already exists:
dummy-h-mode. One of
the heuristics that it uses is to search for an implementation file and
then to check the extension of that implementation file for a hint on
the mode. This heuristic works very well, but with a minor annoyance
that it tries to handle Objective C headers as well. In my use case, I
sometimes have purely template-based C++ code and a test implementation
in Matlab or octave:
