Dear Lazyweb!

Does anyone know how I can teach GNU indent to cuddle opening function braces and the closing ')' of the argument list ? i.e.

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
}

instead of:

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) 
{
}

Any help appreciated!

-br -ce

man indent: there is nothing about function brace cuddling in the man page. Also, -br -ce doesn't work.

Lennart, yes there is. Look under STATEMENTS in the manpage (http://torch.cs.dal.ca/~johnston/unix/indent.html):

Sorry, my bad. I was thinking about if-statments.

apt-get install astyle ?

It should be formatted as



int

main (int  argc,

  char *argv[]) 

{

}

anyway.

I have -brf in my .indent.pro for that, even though i can't find any trace of it in the man page

Looks like `indent -brf -br -ce -kr` does that, or something close to it!

I discovered uncrustify the other day (it's in fedora extras).

It's similar to indent, but uses a configuration file instead of command line options. The default config is pretty well documented and has a toggle for what you're asking for.

Benjamin: Thank you! -brf does the job! Perfect! I posted a Debian bug about this now (#423692).

I was looking for this right now too. Great that you found the problem and filed a bug about it.
However.
I'm wondering how i get this behaviour:
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
..
}
instead of this
int
main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
..
}

Ie. i'd like the type of the functions to be on the same line as the function name and argument list.

-npsl was the flag for me. I just had to read the man page the third time to find it.
I'm obviously blind. :)

Cuddle opening function braces, anyone?
