While Bruce is working on pgindent, let me register a small wishlist
item. It would be quite useful to be able to supply extra typedefs on
the command line to supplement a typedefs file downloaded from the
buildfarm or constructed however. A concrete example: in the code I have
been recently working on, there are typedefs for Jsonb and JsonbValue.
If I run pgindent as normal on the new code these items are not treated
properly. What I had to do was take a special copy of the typedefs list
and add those two items. If we could pass a list of extra typedefs to
supplement the typedefs file that would be very useful. Then I could do
something like:
pgindent --typedef Jsonb --typedef JsonbValue
src/backend/utils/adt/jsonfuncs.c
without having to mangle a typedefs file.
This would make using pgindent nicer to use during development, since
any significant development is just about guaranteed to have some new
typedefs the buildfarm can't have.
cheers
