ccmode: Faces

 
 5.2 Faces
 =========
 
 CC Mode attempts to use the standard faces for programming languages in
 accordance with their intended purposes as far as possible.  No extra
 faces are currently provided, with the exception of a replacement face
 ‘c-invalid-face’ for emacsen that don’t provide
 ‘font-lock-warning-face’.
 
    • Normal comments are fontified in ‘font-lock-comment-face’.
 
      Comments::) get ‘font-lock-doc-face’ (Emacs) or
      ‘font-lock-doc-string-face’ (XEmacs) if those faces exist.  If they
      don’t then ‘font-lock-comment-face’ is used.
 
    • String and character literals are fontified in
      ‘font-lock-string-face’.
 
    • Keywords are fontified with ‘font-lock-keyword-face’.
 
    • ‘font-lock-function-name-face’ is used for function names in
      declarations and definitions, and classes in those contexts.  It’s
      also used for preprocessor defines with arguments.
 
    • Variables in declarations and definitions, and other identifiers in
      such variable contexts, get ‘font-lock-variable-name-face’.  It’s
      also used for preprocessor defines without arguments.
 
    • Builtin constants are fontified in ‘font-lock-constant-face’ if it
      exists, ‘font-lock-reference-face’ otherwise.  As opposed to the
      preceding two faces, this is used on the names in expressions, and
      it’s not used in declarations, even if there happen to be a ‘const’
      in them somewhere.
 
    • ‘font-lock-type-face’ is put on types (both predefined and user
      defined) and classes in type contexts.
 
    • Label identifiers get ‘font-lock-constant-face’ if it exists,
      ‘font-lock-reference-face’ otherwise.
 
    • Name qualifiers and identifiers for scope constructs are fontified
      like labels.
 
    • Special markup inside documentation comments are also fontified
      like labels.
 
    • Preprocessor directives get ‘font-lock-preprocessor-face’ if it
      exists (i.e., XEmacs).  In Emacs they get ‘font-lock-builtin-face’
      or ‘font-lock-reference-face’, for lack of a closer equivalent.
 
    • Some kinds of syntactic errors are fontified with
      ‘font-lock-warning-face’ in Emacs.  In older XEmacs versions
      there’s no corresponding standard face, so there a special
      ‘c-invalid-face’ is used, which is defined to stand out sharply by
      default.
 
      Note that it’s not used for ‘#error’ or ‘#warning’ directives,
      since those aren’t syntactic errors in themselves.
