Syntactic analysis (c-offsets-alist)

We can use the command

C-c C-s (bound to c-show-syntactic-information)

to simply report what the syntactic analysis is for the current line.

E.g.:

void swap( int& a, int& b )
{
    int tmp = a;
    a = b;
    b = tmp;
}

Running this command on line 4 of this example, we’d see in the echo area:

((statement 35))
