from ~/.emacs
-------
(defun my-c-mode-hook ()
  (setq-default c-basic-offset 4)
  (setq c-basic-offset 4)
  (setq c-hanging-comment-ender-p nil)
  (c-set-offset 'statement-cont '+)
  (c-set-offset 'substatement-open 0)
  (c-set-offset 'case-label '+)
  (setq c-tab-always-indent nil)
  )
(add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook 'my-c-mode-hook)
