set comments for C-style comment

[Monnand]

Hi all,

I am using a language whose comment is same as C's. So I copied some lines from c.vim so that my vim could automatically insert a comment after a newline in the middle of the comment.

More precisely, I added the two following lines:

setlocal fo-=t fo+=cronql
setlocal comments=sO:*\ -,mO:*\ \ ,exO:*/,s1:/*,mb:*,ex:*/,://

It works but with some flaws:

When I type /* <CR>, I got this:
/*
*

It can correctly automatically generate the *, but no space in front.

However, what I want is this (notice the space in the second line):
/*
 *

It should generate <space>* after I type Enter (or "o" in command mode).

I think it should be very easy by setting comments option. But I still cannot figure it out. It would be nice if anyone could help me on this.

Regards,
-Monnand

Hello,

I just tested it locally by putting the commands in a file and
running Vim with:

    vim -u NONE -U NONE

    :source path/to/file

And it works fine for me. Some other settings must interfere with
your setup.

Are you sure the settings are executed? Try

    :verbose set fo? comments?

If not, something must overwrite them. :verbose lists the last
place the option was set.

Regards,
Simon

Thank you, Simon. I think they are executed. here is the output of :verbose set fo? comments?:

  formatoptions=croq
        Last set from ~/.vim/bundle/vim-golang/indent/go.vim
  comments=sO:* -,mO:*  ,exO:*/,s1:/*,mb:*,ex:*/,://
        Last set from ~/.vim/bundle/vim-golang/indent/go.vim

BTW, I am using Go programming language as you can tell from the output above.

It is true that I put my settings in  ~/.vim/bundle/vim-golang/indent/go.vim

Any other idea?

Looks fine.

Normally ftplugin/go.vim is used for file-related settings.
indent/go.vim is for automatic indentation settings. Settings
like 'formatoptions' should be set in ftplugin/go.vim.

But the location of the setting shouldn't be related to your
problems and is just convention.

Is 'paste' set? It prevents automatic formatting.

    :set paste?
