Reindenting large sections of code can take a long time. When
@ccmode{} reindents a region of code, it is essentially equivalent to
hitting @key{TAB} on every line of the region.

Move to the beginning or end of the current or next function. Other
constructs (such as a structs or classes) which have a brace block
start or end of the function. This occasionally causes point not to
move at all.
+By default, these commands will recognize functions contained within a
+@dfn{declaration scope} such as a C++ @code{class} or @code{namespace}
+construct, should the point start inside it. If @ccmode fails to find
+function beginnings or ends inside the current declaration scope, it
+will search the enclosing scopes. If you want @ccmode to recognize
+functions only at the top level@footnote{this was @ccmode{}'s
+behavior prior to version 5.32.}, set @code{c-defun-tactic} to
+@code{t}.

These functions are analogous to the Emacs built-in commands
@code{beginning-of-defun} and @code{end-of-defun}, except they
eliminate the constraint that the top-level opening brace of the defun

+To configure macros which you invoke without a terminating @samp{;},
+see @xref{Macros with ;}.
+
Here are the remaining odds and ends regarding indentation:
@defopt c-label-minimum-indentation
@cindex preprocessor directives
@comment !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+Preprocessor macros in C, C++, and Objective C (introduced by
+@code{#define}) have a syntax different from the main language---for
+example, a macro declaration is not terminated by a semicolon, and if
+it is more than a line long, line breaks in it must be escaped with
+backslashes. @ccmode{} has some commands to manipulate these, see
+@ref{Macro Backslashes}.
+
Normally, the lines in a multi-line macro are indented relative to
each other as though they were code. You can suppress this behavior
by setting the following user option:
@code{cpp-macro-cont}.
@end defopt
+Because a macro can expand into anything at all, near where one is
+invoked @ccmode{} can only indent and fontify code heuristically.
+Sometimes it gets it wrong. Usually you should try to design your
+macros so that they ''look like ordinary code'' when you invoke them.
+However, one situation is so common that @ccmode{} handles it
+specially: that is when certain macros needn't (or mustn't) be
+followed by a @samp{;}. You need to configure @ccmode{} to handle
+these macros properly, see @ref{Macros with ;}.

@ccmode{} provides some tools to help keep the line continuation
backslashes in macros neat and tidy. Their precise action is
customized with these variables:
@code{c-backslash-region} (@kbd{C-c C-\}).

+@section Macros with semicolons
+@cindex macros with semicolons
+@comment !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+Macros which needn't (or mustn't) be followed by a semicolon when you
+invoke them, @dfn{macros with semicolons}, are very common. These can
+cause @ccmode{} to parse the next line wrongly as a
+@code{statement-cont} (@pxref{Function Symbols}) and thus mis-indent
+it.
+
+You can prevent this by specifying which macros have semicolons. It
+doesn't matter whether or not such a macro has a parameter list:
+
+@defopt c-macro-names-with-semicolon
+@vindex macro-names-with-semicolon (c-)
+This buffer-local variable specifies which macros have semicolons.
+After setting its value, you need to call
+@code{c-make-macro-with-semi-re} for it to take effect. It should be
+set to one of these values:
+
+@table @asis
+@item nil
+There are no macros with semicolons.
+@item a list of strings
+Each string is the name of a macro with a semicolon. Only valid
+@code{#define} names are allowed here. For example, to set the
+default value, you could write the following into your @file{.emacs}:
+
+@example
+(setq c-macro-names-with-semicolon
+ '("Q_OBJECT" "Q_PROPERTY" "Q_DECLARE" "Q_ENUMS"))
+@end example
+
+@item a regular expression
+This matches each symbol which is a macro with a semicolon. It must
+not match any string which isn't a valid @code{#define} name. For
+example:
+
+@example
+(setq c-macro-names-with-semicolon
+ "\\<\\(CLEAN_UP_AND_RETURN\\|Q_[[:upper:]]+\\)\\>")
+@end example
+@end table
+@end defopt
+
+@defun c-make-macro-with-semi-re
+@findex make-macro-with-semi-re (c-)
+Call this (non-interactive) function, which sets internal variables,
+each time you change the value of
+@code{c-macro-names-with-semicolon}. It takes no arguments, and its
+return value has no meaning. This function is called by @ccmode{}'s
+initialization code.
