Code Beautifier

Joe Q

Can anyone recomend a free (or near free) code beautifier? I've Googled it and even tried a couple but I want to try to find one someone has used and had good experiances with. Thanks Joe Q

I don't need them. My code is always beautiful:laugh::laugh::laugh:.

Try using indent, it's a Gnu Code Beautification. Indent is a tool for formatting C code. Hope this helps You as it helped me. Best Regards Stefan

I've used "Artistic Style" ( http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/astyle[^] ) and it's working fine, no big issues with it.

You probably want more than this--http://www.codeproject.com/macro/makecodenicer.asp[^], but it works well for what it's intended for.

I'll give it a try, Thanks

Joe Q

Thanks, there's some good stuff in Sourceforge. I'll try it.

Joe Q

If it's in Code Project it must be good! ;) Thanks, I'll try it.

My code is ready on time, does what it's suppose to do, it's readable, it's commented, and I usually write more than most people around here. And it's beautiful by my standards but they always want more. :sigh:

I haven't tried any of these but wanted to point them out in case you missed some:

I've got artistic style set up as a quick access tool within Visual studio. Always handy. :)

I have used SourceFormatX long time back, and it worked pretty well for some old code. But since then I rely on the IDE. Recently, I wrote a basic JavaScript pretty printer, but probably that is not what you want. On a side note: I am surprised that Grand Negus (Osmosian) has not jumped into making statements like if you program in Plain English you don't need a Code Beautifier.

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it. -Brian Kernighan

Actually I code where you can read it pretty well. But that doesn't always fit the style guide. I have spaces in the wrong spots in functions calls, if I'm only returning or setting a flag I'll put it on the same line as an if statement. I've had my style for years and it's been in line with most style guides...just not the one I'm using now. Old habits are hard to break. Plus, for some reason, style is more important on this project. I wouldn't want to program in plain english...I speak english good.:laugh:

GC! GreatCode[^] - looked but never used it. It's a config orgy, but if that's your kind of game, you probably can tweak it to do exactly what you want it to do.

Ctrl+K Ctrl+F in Visual Studio, does the trick for me :)

WM. What about weapons of mass-construction?

Joe Q

I think that's the one I used and couldn't quite get it configured the way I needed it. I'm sure one of the MANY parameters did what I wanted, I just couldn't find it.

Yeah, but completely useless if you want to be able to read the output...
