Quoting the Bugs subsection of indent info pages:

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

This is emphasized by indent's README:

      GNU indent does NOT work for C++, if it does for you then you're
