emacs and bracket matching

[Adunaic]

No idea where to begin looking for this one, so any suggestions, tips, tests etc just say.

I have bracket matching enabled in emacs. Evey so often i (in c++ mode) it decides that "<" and ">" are brackets that need matching and it then screws up all the indentations etc. I cannot see why it does this.

Example :

	struct_Converted.vMEt > (map_decayTypes[tString_decayType]).varDouble_MEtCut &&
	struct_Converted.vEtRelIso40_2 < (map_decayTypes[tString_decayType]).varDouble_EtRelIso40_2Cut &&
	struct_Converted.vRelWeight_Jet1 >  (map_decayTypes[tString_decayType]).varDouble_RelWeight_Jet1

this code started off fine, emacs saw the "</>" (on lines 2 and 3) as greater than and less than symbols. I then copied and pasted it somewhere else in the code (C-k, C-y), and emacs decided they were now brackets. If I delete them and add them back, line 2 first and then line 3 it is fine again and they are not treated as brackets. If I add back line 3 and then line 2's they are treated as brackets.

Any thoughts? It is driving me crazy.

As a matter of style, I would suggest putting brackets around the inner logical terms:

( A > B ) &&
( C < D ) &&
( E > F )

I, personally, find the code more readable, and it should also make it easier for emacs to parse (but I have not tested it :-) ).

I'm not seeing that problem in C++ mode in Emacs on my F17 system. How did you enable bracket matching? There should be something in your ~/.emacs file about that. Could you post it? All I have in mine about bracket matching is this:

(show-paren-mode t)

Cheers. I have cleared everything out of my .emacs file except for

(show-paren-mode t)

It is still broken on my Fedora machine. (It works on my SL5 machine)
