Pan/0.13.3 (That cat's something I can't explain) |
I would like to format my C (and C++ and Java) code like this:
function (arguments)
{
statement;
statement;
if ( something is true )
{
statement;
statement;
}
statement;
}
The names listed in the documentation I've read so far don't make sense to
me - there's not enough of a description of what corresponds to what for
me to pick out which variable I need to set...I think I'm supposed to set
it to "+" to get it to indent - is this right?
Can someone provide the name of the variable that controls the brace and
statement indenting shown above? Whenever I open a new level of inner
brace on a new line, I want the braces and code to indent the same amount.
Also, can someone tell me where there's a reference that shows what the
#@$^%# names like:
"'defun-block-intro' In the first line in a top-level defun."
correspond to? I wouldn't know where to find the definition of a
"top-level defun" - where do you learn such a thing?
I think "defun" means "define function", but I can't figure out why it's
not called a "function definition". Where do people call them defuns?
What distinguishes a "top-level" one from whatever else there is? I'm
aware of nested blocks in C, but I don't know of nested functions...
It's a bit much to bite off all by oneself at first. Thanks for any help.
Cheers,
Bret
