code-formatting

Are there any utilities that reformat Delphi code ? EDIT I am using Delphi 2006 Some feedback Thanks to all that answered this question I have been using the JCF code formatter - it works well and my code is been formated to Object Pascal Style Guide Germán Estévez -Neftalí- You can try the " Jedi code Format ". See more information here: http://jedicodeformat.sourceforge.net/ The formatting engine of DelForExp has been integrated into the code base of GExperts. An experimental version of GExperts including a "Code formatter" here: http://blog.dummzeuch.de/experimental-gexperts-version/

I'm familiar with printing time difference in milliseconds: long time = System.currentTimeMillis(); //do something that takes some time... long completedIn = System.currentTimeMillis() - time; But, is there a nice way print a complete time in a specified format (eg: HH:MM:SS) either using Apache Commons or even the dreaded platform API's Date/Time objects? In other words, what is the shortest, simplest, no nonsense way to write a time format derived from milliseconds in Java? Apache Commons has the DurationFormatUtils class for applying a specified format to a time duration. So, something like

In a recent code review, a contributor is trying to enforce that all NULL checks on pointers be performed in the following manner: int * some_ptr; // ... if (some_ptr == NULL) { // Handle null-pointer error } else { // Proceed } instead of int * some_ptr; // ... if (some_ptr) { // Proceed } else { // Handle null-pointer error } I agree that his way is a little more clear in the sense that it's explicitly saying "Make sure this pointer is not NULL", but I would counter that by saying that anyone who's working on this code would understand that using a pointer variable in an if statement is

How do you auto-format code in Eclipse? On Windows : Ctrl + Shift + F On Mac : ⌘ + ⇧ + F (Alternatively you can press Format in Main Menu > Source) Another option is to go to Window->Preferences->Java->Editor->SaveActions and check the Format source code option. Then your source code will be formatted truly automatically each time you save it. Tabrock CTRL + SHIFT + F will auto format your code(whether it is highlighted or non highlighted). This can also be done at the Project Level: In the Package Explorer, right-click on the project > Properties > Java Editor > Save Actions This might be

I'm a code purist, preferring my own style of code formatting as opposed to Visual Studio's default settings. I've turned off auto-formatting options in Tools/options. In most cases it works. After using any of the built-in refactorings, Visual Studio clobbers my settings with its default settings. How do I keep VS from doing that? Tango91 I had this problem while writing VB in an aspx page. The solution was to go to 'Tools > Options > Text Editor > Basic > VB Specific' and turn 'Pretty Listing' OFF. Note - in Visual Studio 2015 this can be found at: Tools > Options > Text Editor > Basic >

When doing a code review for a colleague today I saw a peculiar thing. He had surrounded his new code with curly braces like this: Constructor::Constructor() { existing code { New code: do some new fancy stuff here } existing code } What is the outcome, if any, from this? What could be the reason for doing this? Where does this habit come from? Edit: Based on the input and some questions below I feel that I have to add some to the question, even though that I already marked an answer. The environment is embedded devices. There is a lot of legacy C code wrapped in C++ clothing. There are a lot

I'm interested in learning about the available choices of high-quality, stand-alone source code formatters for Java. The formatter must be stand-alone, that is, it must support a "batch" mode that is decoupled from any particular development environment . Ideally, it should be independent of any particular operating system as well. So, a built-in formatter for the IDE du jour is of little interest here (unless that IDE supports batch mode formatter invocation, perhaps from the command line). A formatter written in closed-source C/C++ that only runs on, say, Windows is not ideal, but is
