Both nbbc and msc relate to perltidy adding whitespace to set apart comments.
[-nbcc], -bbc, --blanks-before-comments
A blank line will be introduced before a full-line comment.
This is the default. Use -nbbc or --noblanks-before-comments to prevent
such blank lines from being introduced.
No idea what this does? Do you have a visual example?
If we don't add -nbbc, this:
if (1) {
# do stuff if our condition is satisfied
do_something();
}
becomes this:
if (1) {
# do stuff if our condition is satisfied
do_something();
}
OK, +1 then.
-msc=n, --minimum-space-to-comment=n
Side comments look best when lined up several spaces to the
right of code. Perltidy will try to keep comments at least n spaces to
the right. The default is n=4 spaces.
Same as above...
If we don't add -msc=1, this:
do_something(); # doing this is really important
becomes this:
do_something(); # doing this is really important
Note that if a coder chooses to put extra whitespace before their comments,
perltidy won't muck with that given my suggested settings; but these settings
prevent perltidy from adding whitespace that the coder didn't want.
+1 to that too then.
