Description Dave Malcolm 2005-06-20 20:10:25 UTC

Description of problem:
Go to: Window->Preferences->C/C++->Code Formatter

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
eclipse-cdt-3.0.0_fc-0.M6.7

How reproducible:
100%

Actual results:
Only visible option is "(NONE)"

Expected results:
Would be nice to have these things: 
(i) editing system (similar to the JDT) with previews showing different
formattings of a sample of a code
(ii) add presets to cover the formatting conventions of the following major
C/C++ projects:
   - Linux Kernel
   - GNOME
   - KDE
   - OpenOffice.org
   - Mozilla
   - K&R
etc
(iii) ability to pick up on Emacs formatting conventions of this kind:
  /* -*- Mode: C; indent-tabs-mode: t; c-basic-offset: 8; tab-width: 8 -*- */
and to use them automatically

Comment 1 Dave Malcolm 2006-10-04 19:10:41 UTC

(iv) also to pick up on Vi formatting hint lines like the following:
# vim: sw=4 ts=4 sts=4 noet ai

Comment 2 Andrew Overholt 2007-04-16 20:13:15 UTC

This is something that would be nice to do, Jeff.  It should probably be done within the context of upstream but could be carried as a patch in our packages in the interim.

Comment 3 Jon Stanley 2008-04-23 20:29:32 UTC

Adding FutureFeature keyword to RFE's.

Comment 4 John Poelstra 2008-07-08 03:45:48 UTC

triaged

Comment 5 Alexander Kurtakov 2018-06-25 06:22:31 UTC

This stayed long enough without any interest.  If anything is about to happen here it will be upstream first. Please open a bug if still interested.
