C AND C++
The following options are available:
• Indent preprocessing - When this option is selected, the indent before the # character of
preprocessing is set to indicate the preprocessing nesting level.
• Indent inside block - When this option is selected, preprocessing inside brace block is indented
when inside preprocessing. Otherwise, preprocessing within a brace block start in column 1.
• Indent inside special #ifndef - Many C/C++ header files starts with the following lines of code:
#ifndef myheader_h
#define myheader_h
#endif
When this option is selected, preprocessing inside this special #ifndef case is indented.
• Eat spaces after # - When this option is selected, the spaces after a preprocessor #, but before
the keyword (if, ifdef, else, elif, endif, etc.), are removed. This is useful for fixing old C code
where the # character had to start in column 1 and spaces were used after the # to indicate the
nesting level.
• Force parens on return - When this option is selected, parentheses are added to return
statements which do not have parentheses.
• Pad condition - These options indicate if parenthesized conditional expressions should have their
spacing adjusted.
