BCPP usage

[Steven Woody]

Hi,

I am trying to use BCPP to format many of old cpp codes.

Case 1: What I expected is something like:

....
if ( ... ) {
...;
} else {
...
}

but with BCPP's Place_Brace_On_New_Line = false, I can only get,

if ( ... ) {
...;
}
else {
...
}

It's strange and not K&R.

Case 2: What I expected is,

class ABC
{
public:
void foo( void );
....
private:
....
....
};

But I got:

class ABC
{
public:
void foo( void );
....
private:
....
....
};

There are too many level of indentations.


Would you anyone please tell me how can I properly use BCPP to get
what I expected results? Or should I go for another code beautifier?

Thanks in advance.

You should try another group (perhaps a mailing-list for BCPP), in here
we only discuss C++ issues, not tool issues.

I have found both astyle and uncrustify to be superior to bcpp.
astyle is the more user-friendly but uncrustify is highly customizable
and can certainly do what you need.

Thank you for your info!
