Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Cause
Running indent on code with decimal float constants (e.g.
`double f = 3.0DF;').
Consequence
The suffix become separated from the number by a space
resulting to invalid C code.
Fix
indent tool has been modified to understand decimal float
suffixes as proposed by N1312 draft of ISO/IEC WDTR24732.
Result
Indent does not break code with decimal float constants
anymore.
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #733051 +++
Description of problem:
If you have a constant suffix, indent will put a space between the number and the suffix, causing a compilation syntax error.
Example:
double f = 3.0DF;
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
indent-2.2.11-1.fc14.x86_64
How reproducible:
Indent the following, and notice the extra space inserted:
double f = 3.0DF;
Actual results:
double f = 3.0 DF;
Expected results:
double f = 3.0DF;
--- Additional comment from ppisar on 2011-08-25 08:21:52 GMT ---
The "DF" suffix is non-standard extension supported by GCC or XLC to utilize decimal float representations on some PowerPC architectures.
--- Additional comment from ppisar on 2011-08-25 08:25:16 GMT ---
Known decimal float suffixes are "DF", "DD", "DL" and their lower-cased variants.
------
RHEL-6 affected too.
