code-formatting

I am trying to diagnose this problem. TAB creates 4 spaces instead of a 4 col TAB like I want. But I don't think it should because C-h v indent-tabs-mode on the buffer in question says it is set to t . When I check my keybindings, TAB is set to c-indent-line-or-region . Does this function ignore my tabs-mode? Tabs and indentation in Emacs is a considerably more complex subject than most people anticipate. I highly recommend spending some time reading about it -- it will almost certainly save you some confusion in the long run. The following page at the Emacs Wiki groups together most of the

Why JSLint report in code: function cos(a) { var b = 0; if (a) { b = 1; } else { b = 2; } return b; } error: Problem at line 6 character 5: Expected exactly one space between '}' and 'else'. This error can be turned off by disabling Tolerate messy white space option of JSLint. Or in other words -- why syntax: } else { is better then ... } else { ... Google also uses syntax with } else { form. But I don't understand why. Google mentioned ''implicit semicolon insertion'', but in context of opening { , not closing one. Can Javascript insert semicolon after closing } of if block even if next token

I quite often use the ReSharper " Clean Up Code " command to format my code to our coding style before checking it into source control. This works well in general, but some bits of code are better formatted manually (eg. because of the indenting rules in ReSharper, things like chained linq methods or multi-line ternary operators have a strange indent that pushes them way to the right). Is there any way to mark up parts of a file to tell ReSharper not to format that area? I'm hoping for some kind of markup similar to how ReSharper suppresses other warnings/features. If not, is there some way of

Is there anyway to format the code in Xcode like you can do in Eclipse or Netbenas. I have not found any option in menu, is there any hot key for this or its simply not in Xcode? Select some text and then: Edit->Format->Re-Indent You can bind this to a hotkey in the preferences. In Xcode 4, it's been moved to Editor > Structure > Re-Indent command (and has a default shortcut of CTRL + I ). Dave DeLong Other than re-indentation (Edit > Format > Re-Indent), not really. However, Xcode does have support for scripts (the menu to the right of the Window menu), so you could conceivably write a script

Few weeks ago I tried Intellij and I found it really awesome. Now, at my project there are two programmers (including me) using Intellij and few other programmers who are going to keep using Eclipse. Since this project is already very large and it's going to grow a lot, we need to use compatible Code Style and Code Formatting between Intellij and Eclipse. We do not want to have problems when one user edits some file and reformats it before saving. With Eclipse "alone" we used to have some exported configuration, and before anybody starts to work, the first step is just to import this

I'm looking for a clang-format setting to prevent the tool from removing line breaks. For example, I have my ColumnLimit set to 120, and here's what happens when I reformat some sample code. Before: #include <vector> #include <string> std::vector<std::string> get_vec() { return std::vector<std::string> { "this is a test", "some of the lines are longer", "than other, but I would like", "to keep them on separate lines" }; } int main() { auto vec = get_vec(); } After: #include <vector> #include <string> std::vector<std::string> get_vec() { return std::vector<std::string>{"this is a test", "some

Is it better to have all the private members, then all the protected ones, then all the public ones? Or the reverse? Or should there be multiple private, protected and public labels so that the operations can be kept separate from the constructors and so on? What issues should I take into account when making this decision? I put the public interface first, but I didn't always do this. I used to do things backwards to this, with private, then protected, then public. Looking back, it didn't make a lot of sense. As a developer of a class, you'll likely be well acquainted with its "innards" but

Are there any command line scripts and/or online tools that can reverse the effects of minification similar to how Tidy can clean up horrific HTML? (I'm specifically looking to unminify a minified JavaScript file, so variable renaming might still be an issue.) You can use this : http://jsbeautifier.org/ But it depends on the minify method you are using, this one only formats the code, it doesn't change variable names, nor uncompress base62 encoding. edit: in fact it can unpack "packed" scripts (packed with Dean Edward's packer : http://dean.edwards.name/packer/ ) Jon Adams Chrome developer
