The code to look at is CodeFormatterVisitor and friends
in the org.eclipse.cdt.core plug-in.
The extension point
"org.eclipse.cdt.core.CodeFormatter" is defined in the same
plug-in.
If you want to work on an enhancement or fix, please
open a bugzilla for it.
Unfortunately, I am quite busy at the moment, so my
response time will vary.

Anton, thanks for your reply. I was on vacation, too... so again
this is a bit late.

2) public/private alignment
The problem here is that the formatter works with one indentation unit
only.
I.e. every indentation can only be a multiple of that unit.
So, supporting this style would be a challenge.
Maybe it would be easier to change all the other
indentations to a multiple of 2? But that#s not possible in the GUI at the
moment, probably that would require some code changes, too? Do you have any
pointers where in the code I could start to hack into this?
It seems this
is one of the main issues for us, as it changes every single line in a header
file, which is not acceptable under revision control.
Some general notes:
Instead of formatting a complete file you can also format a selection.
"Correct Indentation" (Ctrl+I) only changes leading whitespace.
Important point, thanks!
I've never used that, always
use Sh-Ctrl-F. Maybe I should just instruct our team to use Ctrl-I only. That
would solve halt of the problems.
You can contribute your own implementation of a formatter.
There
is an extension point for that?
Maybe we could chat a bit privately
about that whole issue in German (phone or mail), it doesn't seem to be too
much of value for the community...
Thanks,
Achim
