Hi,

There are two ways I know of. The most easy is probably installing the
simple intent code:

http://softwitch.net/blog/index.php/simple-indent-code-forma tter-for-cdt/

and having this point to the intent of your preference. I use GNU indent
for C and astyle for C++.

Good luck,
Berend.

The other one is using the plugin under indent on the following page:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/cdt-home/community. html?cvsroot=Tools_Project&rev=1.10

And it uses gnu indent by default.

And there's a newer version (1.0.2) linked from here:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/~checkout~/cdt-home /contrib/main.html?cvsroot=Tools_Project

If you do use this one, you'll probably prefer to create a .indent.pro
file in your home directory containing all the GNU indent command line
options you like.

I tried that plugins that you suggest. But after I format the code, it
results in code which can't compile.

i have a funcion like this:

void aFunct const {
// my implmentation.
}

but after I format it, it becomes

void aFunct const const {
// my implmentation.
}

Hi,

I just tried your code and it works fine here. I cannot see why the
indent should create the extra "const".

The GNU indent does not work for C. But again, I don't see wy it should
generate extra text.

I've seen indent do weird things from time to time...

Eh? GNU indent was made for C, was it not? The info page for GNU indent
tells me that it is made explicitly for indenting and formatting C
program source.

I try that. And it happens again:
here is the funciton after indent. See the extra 'const'?

bool
YBlockMap::isVerticalOverlapped () const const
{
return hasOverlapped (y, h);
}

I am running indent on linux fedora
$ indent -version
GNU indent 2.2.9

Well, perhaps what Berend was saying was that indent doesn't work on C++
code.

>From the BUGS section of the indent man page:

While an attempt was made to get indent working for C++, it will
not do a good job on any C++ source except the very simplest.

The const member function syntax is definitely a C++ construct, so maybe
this is where the problem is stemming from.

Hi,

Yes I am sorry - I meant to say GNU indent does not work for C++. Try
astyle instead then.

But even so, I cannot see why indent generates extra code. Maybe
something strange in an .ident.prr file? My .indent.pro file contains:
-i4 -npsl -di0 -bl -d0 -cli0 -npcs -nprs -nut -sai -saf -nfca -bli0 -ci4
-l140

The referenced plugin is for indent. Is there a plugin available to use
astyle?

Thanks,
David

no. you have to wrap astyle in a script to convert the parameters, set the
radiobutton to "custom" and add the astyle parameters by hand:

#!/bin/sh
unset arglist
while [ $# -gt 3 ]; do
arglist="$arglist $1"
shift
done

/usr/bin/astyle $arglist < "$1" > "$3"
