Eclipse CDT macro automatic formatting











up vote

favorite












I am using TrueSTUDIO 9.1.0 and also tested this within fresh Eclipse IDE for C/C++ developers version: 2018-09 (4.9.0).



Automatic code formatter seems to be putting semicolon after a macro call on a new line.



Steps to reproduce:




  1. Download Eclipse IDE for C/C++ developers version: 2018-09 (4.9.0) for Windows 32bit.


  2. Create new empty C project



  3. Create .c file with code:



    #define testmacro() do {printf("test");} while (0)



    void main(void) {
    testmacro();
    }



  4. Format the whole file by pressing Ctrl+Shift+F



  5. Get:



    #define testmacro() do {printf("test");} while (0)

    void main(void) {
    testmacro()
    ;
    }




It was discussed and dismissed in this question (link) for the reason that it was fixed.



Am I doing something wrong or did the error come back?

          I don't think you're doing anything wrong, the CDT built-in formatter is just buggy and unmaintained. There are dozens of open bugs about its behaviour. In this case, it looks like bug 475349.



          I would recommend using a plugin that wraps a modern, maintained formatter like clang-format, such as CppStyle.

          • I actually managed to properly install CppStyle for TrueStudio and it is working. Thanks.
