A file that shows the indentaion problem
Coming from a basic text editor, I would guess that your indentations are a mixture of tabs and spaces depending on their depth. In CDT, tabs are displayed with a default size of 4 (where in a text editor they would likely be 8). This would account for the misalignment of your blocks. Try going to Window->Preferences->C/C++->Editor->Displayed Tab Width and change it to 8 to see if this fixes things. If that does fix it, then this isn't really a bug. > Try going to Window->Preferences->C/C++->Editor->Displayed Tab Width and change

And you will probably need CDT-2.1 (now RC4), there was
a bug in the previous version when doihg the Displayed tab.
Thanks. I did as you said and it fixed the problem. I think you should add it to the documentation. I have another 2 problems with the indentation (I wasn't sure if I should open them in different separate bugs, so I wrote them here) 1. I noticed that only on Linux machines, for C++ files, the option 'Format' appears in the Edit option in the menu bar (I attached a file that shows it),but this option doesn't do anything ! Is it supposed to work? 2. Ctrl +I doesn’t indent a line (or selected lines) but only shift them right. Is it supposed to work like that and not like it works for Java's files? How can I indent a line or the all file? Thanks a lot, Guy Created attachment 16286 [details]
A picture that shows that the 'Format' option appears on the Edit menu in Linux
> How can I indent a line or the all file? CDT-2.1 do have a framework for ISV to plug there "Formatters", but by default there is "NONE", see the preference page C/C++ --> Code Formatter. We did however, send to the mailing list an example plugin based on the "GNU Indent", that we'll enable formatting for CDT-2.1. Having a default formatting is something we are looking for CDT-3.0. For the "GNU Indent" plugin look at the cdt-ui-dev mailing list archive. You will find the plugin and instructions, let us know(via the mailing list) if if works for you. > Thanks. I did as you said and it fixed the problem. Allright changing the state. Please verify. What about the first paragraph in my latter: "I noticed that only on Linux machines, for C++ files, the option 'Format' appears in the Edit option in the menu bar (I attached a file that shows it),but this option doesn't do anything ! Is it supposed to work?" |
