Hi all, in meantime I did some checks about the impact of the suggested astyle settings.
I must confess that I underestimated how many inconsistencies crept in. The settings below have the smallest impact on the existing code and I think they are a good start. I did some statistics: Total LOC of TLF project: ~36000 Changes: ~6000 lines Out of these ~5000 are only whitespace changes For a simple check do a clean checkout of master, apply astyle with the settings and than do a 'git diff --stat' oder 'git diff -w --stat' for the numbers. You can reset it with 'git reset --hard' to the starting point. If you have objections or comments to the styling rules below, please respond. Otherwise I will imply the formatting changes around the end of the coming week. For the concrete meaning of the single keywords see http://astyle.sourceforge.net/astyle.html ---- # astylerc--custom options for Tlf # Java style formatting attaches opening braces style=attach # Indent with a width of 4 spaces. Use 8 space tabs characters if # possible indent=force-tab-x=8 indent=force-tab=4 # Remove extra space padding around parenthesis on the inside and # outside. unpad-paren # Insert space padding around operators. pad-oper # Insert space padding after paren headers only (e.g. 'if', 'for', # 'while'...). pad-header # Attach a pointer operator (*) to name (name) and reference operator # (&) to type (type). align-pointer=name align-reference=type # Don't break one-line blocks. keep-one-line-blocks # Don't break complex statements and multiple statements residing on a # single line. keep-one-line-statements # try to shorten long lines to 80 characters max-code-length=80 # Preserve the file date and time preserve-date # Do not make backups of the original file suffix=none ---- 73, de Tom. -- "Do what is needful!"
