I don't much like astyle as it is buggy and the development has stalled.
I've approached jpetso about the feasability of using kdevelop-pg and to
generate a source code beautifier. Well, chouimat brought to my attention
uncrustify:
http://uncrustify.sourceforge.net/
From what I can see so far, I like it. It is already more feature rich than
AStyle and has an active developer from what I can see of the svn logs. He
is also using a test harness which is very important for this kind of
program.
I found a bug already, but I think it is probably easy to fix:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1527030&group_id=153164&atid=786647
From what I can tell, it doesn't mess up the comments and the pointer
operators like AStyle. I'd very much like some default config(s) included
with the program -- like Qt Style -- and others, but I think it shows
promise.
Thoughts,
Adam
