Thanks patch apply.

Alex, lets close this PR.
We can deal with new problems in new Focus PRs.

This is no longer an enhancement.
Comment 10 Alain Magloire CLA 2004-11-04 09:41:05 EST 
Patch in cdt-2.1
Comment 11 Richard van der Hoff CLA 2005-12-22 07:34:26 EST 
I can't help the feeling I must be either be doing something stupid, or failing to find the right bug in bugzilla, but this really doesn't work for me at all.

The formatter does correctly indent when I open or close a brace:

if(foo) {
    /* this line starts here */
}

but 'Format' on the edit menu doesn't do anything, and 'Indent line' (which I have bound to 'Tab') just inserts four spaces at the cursor.

This with eclipse 3.1.1, CDT 2.1.1
Comment 12 Richard van der Hoff CLA 2005-12-22 08:25:08 EST 
I've also just tried CDT 3.0.1, with the same effect.
Comment 13 David Whiteman CLA 2006-04-13 12:38:42 EDT 
It's great that there's a framework, but are there any plans to provide a built-in formatter, rather than each person having to cobble something together?
Comment 14 Matt Gillette CLA 2006-05-25 16:46:19 EDT 
When typing it works, but like comment 12 says, using the format drop down doesn't work. I tried installing simple indent (http://softwitch.net/blog/index.php/simple-indent-110-has-been-released/) but this has basically the same problem. It works using the format drop down, but not when inputing text.

One of the nice things about simple indent is that you can customize the indent style.
