Package: astyle
Version: 1.23-1
Severity: normal
I wanted to use astyle to format my sources for the linux kernel. I noticed
that it is really not what I would expect. For comparison use
linux-2.6/scripts/Lindent.
I used `astyle --style=linux` for my tests which was described as "Also known
as Kernel Normal Form (KNF) style, this is the style used in the Linux
kernel."
First thing I noticed is that astyle uses 8 spaces for indention instead of a
tab which should have a with of 8 spaces in an editor. Adding `--indent=tab=8`
didn't help.
Also { after a function starts at the same line like the function header when
the return type is a 'struct' like "struct list" - which isn't the style used
in the kernel.
It doesn't look like 80 line width is used like in indent.
There are many other things I haven't completely understood yet. For example
Lindent:
if (NULL !=
(val = xmlNodeGetContent(cur_node->children))) {
used_val = 0;
astyle:
if (NULL !=
(val = xmlNodeGetContent(cur_node->children))) {
used_val = 0;
