In this question I got to know fic-mode which highlights TODOs and such in c++ mode of emacs. However I couldn't make it auto-enabled; that is, I want it to be enabled as soon as I open a .cpp file. In my .emacs file I have:

(require 'fic-mode)
(add-hook 'c++-mode-hook 'turn-on-fic-mode)

as recommended in the fic-mode.el. This doesn't do the trick. In order to enable the minor mode, I have to hit M-x fic-mode RET and then M-x font-lock-fontify-buffer. Can it be automated?

I see its working properly in my emacs. It may be with your .emacs. how about calling like this(I dont think it make any difference.)

(add-hook 'c++-mode-hook '(lambda () (fic-mode 1)))

its good to turn on debugger to see any errors. M-x toggle-debug-on-error. and open a cpp file.

Changing the .emacs didn't make a difference. Nothing popped up when the debugger was enabled. Problem is still there :( Thanks for the help! – Dror May 25 '11 at 8:45
does this turned on emacs -Q foo.cpp -l /path/to/fic-mode.el -f turn-on-fic-mode which version of emacs you are using? – kindahero May 25 '11 at 19:07
Yes, the above turns on the mode. But, I'm using Aquamacs, and I cannot (for some unclear reason) do something similar. The version I have is 2.2 with emacs 23.3.1. – Dror May 26 '11 at 6:37
