Can you please fill the Environment & version information section? Hard to debug with pretty much no information.

I'm also facing the same problem. Smartparens version: 20171126.1241 I'm running emacs compiled for master branch on Mac OS Sierra. I'm not using any startkits. Just good old vanilla emacs with my own customization.

@CSRaghunandan Does this happen everywhere or only in specific major modes? What is the emacs version?

Fuco1 avatar Nov 28 '17 10:11 Fuco1

@Fuco1 This seems to happen only in c-based modes for me, checked rust, python, and js2-mode and all of them are fine.

emacs version: GNU Emacs 27.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-apple-darwin16.7.0, NS appkit-1504.83 Version 10.12.6 (Build 16G1036)) of 2017-11-27

So it seems the handling of string parsing changed in Emacs 27 (which I guess is the 26 preview?). I'm not sure I want to get into this if it is not released yet as they might change it back or to something else again and then it's a waste of effort :/

Would it be an option for you to use the latest stable release? I know it's not much of a solution but I'm not capable of supporting the nightly builds, there's too much changes going on and only one person to look over :/

@Fuco1 Yeah, I can understand.

Instead of moving to latest stable release, I would rather make an exception for closing of ' in c and cpp modes since those are the only ones affected. I see that there is a sp-local-pair variable, but how do I use it?

CSRaghunandan avatar Nov 28 '17 16:11 CSRaghunandan

Right. You can do (sp-local-pair 'c-mode "'" nil :actions nil), that should do the trick.
