Description Robert Shideleff 2003-12-11 00:11:24 UTC

Version:           3.0.0b2 (using KDE 3.1.4)
Installed from:    Gentoo
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo Linux 1.4 3.2.3-r2, propolice)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.23

In Beta 1, the auto-format feature would align parameters of a function after the opening parenthesis as in:

foobarfoobar(int param1,
.............int param2,
.............int param3) 
 
In Beta 2, this changed so that the function definition comes out like: 
 
foobarclass::foobarfoobar(int param1, 
....int param2, 
....int param3) 

Which makes the format function useless to me because of company formatting standards. I'd like to see a customization option to support both methods, since this is obviously a matter of taste.
 
(In the above examples, I replaced the white space with periods.)

Which Text editor? KATE or QEditor.

Are you talking about a Qeditor feature or about the "reformat source" item on the edit menu?

AFAIK none of this code was touched beteewn b1 and b2 !

Subject: Re:  I would like to see a auto-format customization item to control alignment of parameters for function definitions.

The 'reformat source' item in the edit menu. The shortcut I normally use is 
ALT-F, although I can't remember if this is a default, or something I 
customized. The reason I noticed is that the behavior changed for a bug I had 
reported before (recently closed) which was that C type functions and C++ 
functions behaved differently. This bug was fixed in B1 to work one way, and 
then behavior changed to the other way in B2. Actually, I think both ways are 
reasonable, I just happen to have to follow a code standard that goes as 
described above. Hence the wish item.

This is an astyle bug/wish and as such should be filed upstream.
