[RESOLVED] Source Formatter + Indent Options Woes

[AiuaX]

Though I hope I'm simply overlooking something simple (and please forgive me if I am), I can't help but be stumped by the behavior I'm seeing.

The behavior I'm expecting while writing c++ code in the C::B editor (v 10.05, 32-bit windows 7) is:

• Moving to a new line within a block of code (i.e. hitting enter) will indent to the same level as the previous line
• Opening an if/then, switch/case, for block will produce a properly indented block of code (for some definition of properly indented)

The behavior I'm seeing is: When writing c++ code, no indentation is applied to the following structures:

• classes
• methods/functions
• if/else, switch/case, for blocks
• anything else

My settings are thus (I'll also include screenshots displaying what I see):

• Auto indent is checked
• Smart indent is checked
• Brace completion is checked
• Source formatter plugin is enabled and set to default (Allman (ANSI))

Disabling the source formatter plugin or resetting C::B preferences does not change the behavior.

Am I simply missing a setting somewhere? I could have sworn this used to work. Am I simply crazy?

Disabling the source formatter plugin [...]

This plugin is (I think) unrelated to your problem as it is for on-demand formatting of pre-existing code (Right-click->Format use AStyle).

I am not sure what the problem is, but can you try the following?

• Switch "End-of-line mode" from your current "CR" to "CR LF" (as should be Windows default).
• Move/delete Code::Blocks' profile (located in %AppData%\CodeBlocks) so that Code::Blocks will regenerate a clean one.
• If you are feeling adventurous, you could try a nightly (however, your version of Code::Blocks should work).

Fascinating!  Switching to CR+LF did indeed restore things to normal.  I think this must have (maybe, possibly, in theory) happened after bringing a version control system into the equation (configured to auto-convert line-endings on checkout to be platform-specific); or maybe I accidentally rolled my mouse wheel over that Settings field - who knows!

Thank you for the suggestion, Alpha!

Patch #3282 submitted to fix this bug.

What bug? This looked like a misconfiguration?

To reproduce, Settings->Editor... switch "End-of-line mode" to "CR".  Now try typing:

Code

if(true)
{

Normally, this would trigger brace completion such that it becomes (the pipe is the position of the cursor):

Code

if(true)
{
    |
}

However, in "CR" mode, it does not indent:

Code

if(true)
{
|
}
