C/C++ code beautifier

[Diego Andres Alvarez Marin]

Hi all!

Is there a linux tool that uses as input my ugly C/C++ code and
outputs a pretty and nice formated source code?

Regards,

Diego

Assuming you mean C and/or C++, yes, there are many. This is not on-topic
here though, you should ask in comp.unix.programmer or a linux group. You
could alternatively learn how to use a search engine and find all the
information you seek in a few seconds.

To the OP: If you have any questions or comments about this program,
please feel free to email Tisdale directly as opposed to asking here.

Out of curiosity, when would C/C++ ever mean anything *other* than "C and/or C++"?

Believe me that I spend 15 minutes before asking here and I did not
find anything... maybe I did not put the right words...

"c beautifier" hits lots of useful programs and links.

Out of curiosity, when would C/C++ ever mean anything *other* than "C and/or C++"?

All too often, when someone uses the term "C/C++", it appears that they
mean "C and C++-with-objects-ignored, which is exactly the same thing,
isn't it?". Of course, it isn't the same thing at all, and such people
tend to run into problems trying to compile C code with a C++ compiler,
or vice versa.

Not to mention that normally linux comes with a butifier, as did most unix
systems for decades.

You should have told us that in your original post.

[30.2] Are there any pretty-printers that reformat C++ source code?

In alphabetical order:

* Artistic Style is a reindenter and reformatter of C++, C and Java
source code. It is available from http://gene.md.huji.ac.il/~tald/astyle/
* C++2LaTeX is a LaTeX pretty printer. It is available from
http://mirriwinni.cse.rmit.edu.au/ftp/pub/languages/C++2LaTeX-4.0.tar.gz
* C-Clearly by V Communications, Inc. is a Windows program that
comes with standard formatting templates and also allows you to
customize your own. http://www.mixsoftware.com/product/ccl.htm
* GNU indent program may help. It's available at
http://www.arceneaux.com/indent.html. You can also find an "official"
GNU mirror site by looking at http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html or
perhaps the original GNU site, ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/ (e.g., if
the current version is 1.9.1 you could use
ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/indent-1.9.1.tar.gz).
* tgrind is a Unix based pretty printer. It usually comes with the
public distribution of TeX and LaTeX in the directory
"...tex82/contrib/van/tgrind". A more up-to-date version of tgrind by
Jerry Leichter can be found on: ftp://venus.ycc.yale.edu/pub in
[.TGRIND]. [Note: If anyone has an updated URL for tgrind, please let me
know ([email protected]).]

Finally, you might consider lgrind which is another C++ to LaTeX
translator (check for the closest mirror site of the ctan archive). The
following is a grind definition for C++ (but this one doesn't recognize
some new keywords such as bool or wchar_t, and it doesn't recognize a
file ending with .cpp as C++):

Out of curiosity, when would C/C++ ever mean anything *other* than "C and/or C++"?

Quite frequently, people that use "C/C++" have the idea that the two
languages are so similar that they're interchangable, or that C is a subset
of C++, or that C++ is a superset of C. None of these is true, hence the
mere sight of C/C++ tends to send shivers up the regular's spines.

C++ was designed by the same people at Bell Labs.
C++ was designed to replace C and not compete with it.
C++ *subsumes* C.
Most popular implementations compile both C or C++.

Roman numerals mixed with C operators? 100/100++ = 100/101 ~= 0.99

 

[Richard Herring]

C++ was designed by the same people at Bell Labs.

bool same(std::string a, std::string b);

assert(same("Stroustrup", "Ritchie"));

Yeah, right.

You will all agree that C/C++ is blatant undefined behaviour.
Because you cannot mix C and C++ in the same expression without an intervening
sequence point ;-)

Check out a Windows program called Crystal FLOW for C/C++ from
http://www.sgvsarc.com/

In addition to an excellent code beautifier, it creates flowcharts
from C/C++ code. Has a complete code browser too.
