Bug in Codewarrior Indentation Format

beng_ — Tue, 11 Apr 2017 14:33:18 GMT

Unless I'm doing something wrong I think I've found a bug in Code Warrior, when using Auto Indentation

My indentation options (in Window/Preferences/C/C++/Code Style/Formatter/Edit/Indentation) are:

Take a simple switch statement (I've used a dash to indicate a space below):

uint8_t var;

switch (var)

{

case 1:

--perform_action_1();

--break;

case 2:

--perform_action_2();

--break;

}

I want the case statement to start same at the column as the switch statement (as above). Typing the code above produces correctly indented code. However if I add parenthesis around the case statement expression (i.e. case (1) : instead of case 1:) changes the indentation to:

uint8_t var;

switch (var)

{

case (1):

----perform_action_1();

break;

case (2):

----perform_action_2();

break;

}

I can't see anything in the code style formatter options that should cause adding parenthesis to result in thiis crazy indentation.

So:

is this a bug or have I done something wrong?
If it's a bug what's the process for reporting a bug?

As an addendum this same issues is present in Kinetis Design Studio so the problem may be with Eclipse.

Hello Ben.

I am not sure if I fully understand your questions.

from my understanding, you want to set default indentation for wrapped lines. did you try this:

Jennie,

I want:

case 1: // No Parenthesis

function();

break;

to have the same indentation as:

case (1): // Parenthesis

function();

break;

When in fact adding the parenthesis appears as:

case (1): // Parenthesis

function();

break;
