Automatic code formatting

[Jensa]

Hi,

We’re getting some weird issues with the auto-formatting of code if there is a c++ style comment on the previous line before an if statement.

For example this code works fine and is how we want it:

if ( something ) {

  return;

}

But if we add a comment on the line before like this it changes to the following when it’s auto formatted on the ending curly brace:

// comment

if( something )

{

  return;

}

Any ideas what could be wrong?

Regards

Hi,

Please try this build: http://sysprogs.com/files/tmp/VisualGDB-5.4.3.2323.msi

It supports using clang-format instead of our regular code formatter (it also features a convenient GUI editor for the formatting styles with live preview). You can enable clang-format for VisualGDB projects via Tools->Options->Text Editor->C/C++ (VisualGDB)->Formatting Engine and then use the format icon in the upper right corner of the source editor to launch the interactive style editor.

Hi,

 

Thanks, that works a bit more consistently indeed and it supports most things that we want from it.

I guess now I just gotta pester the CLANG team to implement the last few strange things our coding standards want 🙂
