Package astyle-2.02-1

Artistic Style is a source code indenter, formatter, and beautifier for the C, C++, C# and Java programming languages. When indenting source code, we as programmers have a tendency to use both spaces and tab characters to create the wanted indentation. Since the NUMBER of space characters showed on screen for each tab character in the source code changes between editors, one of the standard problems programmers are facing when moving from one editor to another is that code containing both spaces and tabs that was up to now perfectly indented, suddenly becomes a mess to look at when changing to another editor. To address this problem, Artistic Style was created - a filter written in C++ that automatically re-indents and re-formats C / C++ / C# / Java source files. It can be used from a command line, or it can be incorporated as classes in another C++ program.

Read the options in /sw/share/doc/astyle.html or astyle --help. Then set your preferred astyle flags in .astylerc or the ARTISTIC_STYLE_OPTIONS environment variable. If you want to use the class in your own apps, extract the astyle source from the /sw/src dir.
