Template formatting

[andrew]

Every time I type template {{ENTER}} the next line is indented. This is very irritating. How can it be disabled?

Hi,

VisualGDB inserts extra indentation after incomplete statements (not ending with ‘;’ or ‘}’), so this is by design.

If this is annoying, we could add an option to disable this behavior for templates. Could you give us an example of how you usually format your template declarations so that we could ensure the new option supports it?

With the template parameter list on one line followed by the declaration on the next as follows:

template<class T>
class Foo {
   // ...
};

[andrew]

I should add that the problem occurs when formatting existing code. For example

template<class T>
class Foo {
 // ...
};

becomes

template<class T>
   class Foo {
      // ...
   };

after using the CTRL + K, CTRL + D shortcut to format the document.

Hi,

OK, we have added a partial workaround to this. Please try this build: http://sysprogs.com/files/tmp/VisualGDB-5.3.18.2009.msi

You can disable template contents indentation via Tools->Options->Text Editor->C/C++ (VisualGDB)->Formatting->Don’t indent template contents.

VisualGDB will still add indentations when you press ‘enter’ after starting a template declaration, however they will be removed once you enter the final ‘;’ or reformat the entire document via Ctrl-K, Ctrl-D.
