Variable: c-backslash-max-column

c-backslash-max-column is a customizable and buffer-local variable defined in cc-vars.el.gz.

Documentation

Maximum alignment column for line continuation backslashes.

This is used by the functions that automatically insert or align the line continuation backslashes in multiline macros. If any line in the macro exceeds this column then the backslashes for the other lines will be aligned at this column.

This is a style variable. Apart from the valid values described above, it can be set to the symbol set-from-style. In that case, it takes its value from the style system (see c-default-style and c-style-alist) when a CC Mode buffer is initialized. Otherwise, the value set here overrides the style system (there is a variable c-old-style-variable-behavior that changes this, though).

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 22.1.
