Description Marcel Petavy CLA 2004-03-31 05:05:16 EST 
Hi.

Currently it seems that the NOT operator is treated the same as a unary 
operator.
I want my unary operators ++ formatted with a whitespace "before" the operator, 
so ...

"result=++index" becomes "result = ++index".

With this definition the NOT Operator has also a leading whitespace ...

"if (!condition)" becomes "if( !condition)"

Would be great if I can define the NOT Operation with NO leading whitespace but 
my unary operators WITH leading whitespace.

Cheers - Marcel.

Not sure if I will do that. You can also write:
if ( ++i > 10) {
}

In this case, do you want the space? Logical Complement Operator ! is an unary
operator and it is treated as is.

Please annotate the bug report. Without feedback, I will close as WONTFIX.
I am not convinced that actual options cannot handle your case.
In order to get:
result=++index => result = ++index
if (!condition) => if(!condition)

You can add a space after the '=' and no space before the unary operator.
