Uncrustify is highly configurable source beautifier.

Reference

Build

Since v0.63, build with cmake. Instructions are given in the README:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make                 # or cmake --build .
sudo make install    # or sudo cmake --install

On Windows, install cmake, then it works the same:

# To build with latest visual Studio
md build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build . --config Release

# To build with MinGW toolchain
md build
cd build
cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" ..          # Do twice if complains above sh.exe in path
cmake --build . --config Release

You need a Windows compiler, like Visual Studio Express, or MinGW.

Tips

Canonical indent

The script below perform a canonical indentation as follows:

  • Force #define on one line, and remove excess whitespace
  • Force all code on one line, but
  • Respect LF in block comments or before/after line comment
  • Keep empty lines
  • Indent
find . -name "*.[ch]" -type f -print0|xargs -0 sed -ri ':b s/\\$//;T;N;s/[ \t]*\n[ \t]*/ /;t b'
find . -name "*.[ch]" -type f -print0|xargs -0 sed -ri 's/^[ \t]*#define[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_]+(\([^)]*\))?[ \t])[ \t]+/#define \1/'
find . -name "*.[ch]" -type f -print0|xargs -0 sed -ri ':b /\/\/|^[ \t]*$|#/b; N;/#|\n[ \t]*\/\/|\n$/b; /\/\*/{:c /\*\//b;N;b c}; s/[ \t]*\n[ \t]*/ /;b b'
# indent 5 times for stability
for i in $(seq 1 5); do indent include/* source/*; done

Troubleshoot

Bug - comment line not indented with tabs

int main(void)
{
    // This line indented with space should be indented with tabs
	helloWorld();

	return 0;
}

Bug - operator[] break method alignment

When align_on_operator=true, and align_var_def_amp_style = 0:

class Graph {
    iterator end();
    Tree *   GetSpanningTree(void);
    Node & operator[] (int id);            // Break alignment
    size_t size();
    int    Squeeze();
};

Uncrustify 0.65 - buggy sp_balance_nested_parens

TBC.
