Emacs is great, but one of my pet peeves is that while it can fill (ie wrap) plain text, it can’t fill source code. A while back, I wrote fillcode, an Emacs minor mode that does just that.

Since I started writing more C++ at work, I noticed a few fillcode bugs that happen often in cc-mode. Specifically, fillcode occasionally gets too excited and fill more than just the current line. Also, it doesn’t always handle multi-line comments well.

I’ve posted a new version that fixes these bugs. Update, April 25. I’ve fixed yet another bug and posted another new version, 0.5.

Happy filling!
