emacs batch indent vs. cc-mode access-label - emacs

I'm trying to batch indent source files using emacs. I'm using the command:
$ emacs -batch Source.h -l emacs-format-file.el -f emacs-format-function
where emacs-format-file.el contains:
(defun emacs-format-function ()
(c-set-style "gnu")
(setq c-basic-offset 4)
(c-set-offset 'access-label nil)
(c-set-offset 'substatement-open 0)
(indent-region (point-min) (point-max) nil)
(untabify (point-min) (point-max))
(save-buffer)
)
Emacs indents the file to my liking with one exception. The "public", "private", and "protected" keywords are all indented an extra space:
class Foo
{
-public:
+ public:
I want to align these keywords with the preceding open bracket. Based on this question I thought setting 'access-label' would fix this but it doesn't seem to have any effect.
What am I missing?

Turns out that emacs was processing the header file as C instead of C++. The fix was to change the .el file to manually switch to C++ mode:
(defun c++-indent-region ()
(c++-mode)
(c-set-style "gnu")
(setq c-basic-offset 4)
(indent-region (point-min) (point-max) nil)
(untabify (point-min) (point-max))
(save-buffer)
)

Disable emacs from converting tabs to spaces

I've recently started using Emacs and an issue I've been facing is that the editor automatically converts all the tabs to spaces. It has started to get a bit annoying now.
Here's my .emacs file for reference:
(require 'package)
(let* ((no-ssl (and (memq system-type '(windows-nt ms-dos))
(not (gnutls-available-p))))
(proto (if no-ssl "http" "https")))
(when no-ssl
(warn "\
Your version of Emacs does not support SSL connections,
which is unsafe because it allows man-in-the-middle attacks.
There are two things you can do about this warning:
1. Install an Emacs version that does support SSL and be safe.
2. Remove this warning from your init file so you won't see it again."))
;; Comment/uncomment these two lines to enable/disable MELPA and MELPA Stable as desired
(add-to-list 'package-archives (cons "melpa" (concat proto "://melpa.org/packages/")) t)
;;(add-to-list 'package-archives (cons "melpa-stable" (concat proto "://stable.melpa.org/packages/")) t)
(when (< emacs-major-version 24)

(elpy-enable)
(pyenv-mode)
(setq python-shell-interpreter "ipython"
python-shell-interpreter-args "-i --simple-prompt")
(require 'powerline)
Any suggestions on how to stop emacs from doing this behaviour?
As suggested by Drew, I am posting this as answer:
Did you check variable indent-tabs-mode?
With this you should be able to switch between emacs using spaces or tabs.
As described in the emacs wiki here I would assume, some active mode is setting this to nil in your emacs.
You can find another explanation with links to discussions about if tabs are evil or not here
EDIT:
It seems that strangely the python-mode sets indent-tabs-mode to t.
Maybe this Emacs Wiki entry solves your problem. This snippet from the wiki:
(add-hook 'python-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(setq-default indent-tabs-mode t)
(setq-default tab-width 4)
(setq-default py-indent-tabs-mode t)
(add-to-list 'write-file-functions 'delete-trailing-whitespace)))
looks like it will do the trick.
Hope this helps.

Use flycheck for indent settings in js2-mode

I'm on Emacs 25.2 with js2-mode and flycheck/eslint enabled.
Currenty pressing tab (or newline) will indent as per js2-mode-js-indent-level.
I would like for it to be dynamic to match flycheck/eslint settings
Is there a way to do this ?
Emacs has already facilities to parse json (eslint config in this case).
Parse config and setting indent config as js-indent-level:
(defun js2-mode-use-eslint-indent ()
(let ((json-object-type 'hash-table)
(json-config (shell-command-to-string (format "eslint --print-config %s"
(shell-quote-argument
(buffer-file-name))))))
(ignore-errors
(setq js-indent-level
(aref (gethash "indent" (gethash "rules" (json-read-from-string json-config))) 1)))))
(add-hook 'js2-mode-hook #'js2-mode-use-eslint-indent)

Slow emacs startup

My emacs takes a few seconds to start up every time, which is slower than I'd expect. During that time, it says "contacting host: " marmalade-repo and melpa.
Is my current config a reasonable one? Is there a way I can speed it up, while still being able to install packages when I need them?

Recently, loading packages from MELPA has been really slow, I'm not so sure why. What you can do to get around this (or at least make sure it only happens once) is to run Emacs in daemon mode, and then connect to it whenever you want to edit a file. It means that the cost of loading is only incurred once. It's as simple as running emacs --daemon at startup. Then you connect via emacsclient.

Going root when writing to file/saving file?

Is it possible to open a file(in root location) as non-root user in Emacs, edit it and then when its time to save provide the password so the Emacs can get write to the file? Better still provide different buffers with different user privileges?
I know of Tramp but couldn't get my head around it.
Here's how I do it:
(require 'tramp)
(defun sudired ()
(interactive)
(dired "/sudo::/"))
You'll get a dired buffer where you have root privileges.
Any subsequent directory or file that you open from here will be with root.
Any other dired buffers will not be affected.
Update: I now use sudo-edit (available on Melpa or at https://github.com/nflath/sudo-edit), which has the header warning and is more robust than this function.
This is what I use. You can open a file (even one that doesn't exist yet) or directory as a normal user, and run this function to get root privileges.
(defun find-alternative-file-with-sudo ()
(interactive)
(let ((bname (expand-file-name (or buffer-file-name
default-directory)))
(pt (point)))
(setq bname (or (file-remote-p bname 'localname)
(concat "/sudo::" bname)))
(cl-flet ((server-buffer-done
(buffer &optional for-killing)
nil))
(find-alternate-file bname))
(goto-char pt)))
I also have this, which makes a big red banner across the top of the buffer telling me it's opened as root.
(defface find-file-root-header-face
'((t (:foreground "white" :background "red3")))
"*Face use to display header-lines for files opened as root.")
(defun find-file-root-header-warning ()
"*Display a warning in header line of the current buffer.
This function is suitable to add to `find-file-hook'."
(when (string-equal
(file-remote-p (or buffer-file-name default-directory) 'user)
"root")
(let* ((warning "WARNING: EDITING FILE AS ROOT!")
(space (+ 6 (- (window-width) (length warning))))
(bracket (make-string (/ space 2) ?-))
(warning (concat bracket warning bracket)))
(setq header-line-format
(propertize warning 'face 'find-file-root-header-face)))))
(add-hook 'find-file-hook 'find-file-root-header-warning)
(add-hook 'dired-mode-hook 'find-file-root-header-warning)
You don't need any special functions for this, it's built-in to Emacs (at least it is for version 24).
To open a file as root:
C-x C-f to open the find-file dialog in the minibuffer.
Then prepend /su::/ to the file path:
/su::/path/to/root/file
You'll be prompted for the root password. After that, you can open the file as if you are root. The rest of your buffers will be unaffected. However, if you open another file from the same buffer, you'll automatically be opening it as root.
I wanted to have a way to open root files too, so I came up with this function that replaced build in find-file, now I have this in my .emacs:
(defun test (&rest args)
(with-temp-buffer
(eq (apply 'call-process "test" nil (current-buffer) nil args) 0)))
(defun have-permission (filename)
;; only bash expand ~ with home directory
(let ((expanded (replace-regexp-in-string "~"
(concat "/home/" (user-real-login-name))
filename)))
(if (not (file-exists-p expanded))
(let ((directory (file-name-directory expanded)))
(and (test "-r" directory) (test "-x" directory) (test "-w" directory)))
(and (test "-r" expanded) (test "-w" expanded)))))
(defun find-every-file (filename &optional wildcards)
"Open file use sudo:: if user have no permissions to open the file"
(interactive
(find-file-read-args "Find All Files: "
(confirm-nonexistent-file-or-buffer)))
(find-file (if (have-permission filename)
filename
;; you can replace that with /su:: if you don't have sudo access
(concat "/sudo::" (file-truename filename)))))
(global-set-key (kbd "C-x C-f") 'find-every-file)
It also work if you try to open non existing file or non existing file in directory you don't have write permissions.
you can combine it with #jpkotta warning popup.

How to stop add content_flymake.xml to odt exports

When I try to export a org-mode file to odf I end up with a corrupt output file. I narrowed the problem down to that the odt-file (which in fact is a zip file) contained a file named content_flymake.xml. If I remove that file, I can open the it without a problem.
Now I'm stucked. I don't know what to do next.

One possibility is to disable the flymake-find-file-hook while running org-export-as-odt. The following lines may work:
(defadvice org-export-as-odt (around remove-flymake-hook first act)
(let ((find-file-hook find-file-hook))
(remove-hook 'find-file-hook 'flymake-find-file-hook)
ad-do-it))
You can also try to customize flymake-allowed-file-name-masks and remove the .xml binding there. But this means that no xml file would run under flymake by default anymore.
