gnu indent: how to avoid extra indent?

[dt]

Greetings,

I'm having some trouble understanding the plethora of options
available for GNU indent for my C code.

Except for the function's opening {, I want all code to line
up under the opening { of the block it resides in.

Let me explain with an example. I'm using this command,

gindent -npro -kr -bl -bli4 -nce < ncmp.c > ncmp2.c

and ncmp2.c is neatly formatted like this,

int32_t dcrp_oidncmp(dcroid_t * a, dcroid_t * b, size_t n)
{
size_t i;
size_t szA = OID_LEN(a);
size_t szB = OID_LEN(b);

if (n == 0)
{
return 0;
}
else if (szB == 0)
{
return 1;
}
else
{
for (i = 0; i < n && i < szA && i < szB; i++)
{
if (OID_AT(a, i) > OID_AT(b, i))
return 1;
else if (OID_AT(a, i) < OID_AT(b, i))
return -1;
}
return 0;
}
}

However, notice the extra indention of code for inner blocks;
I want output to omit that extra indention, like this output,

int32_t dcrp_oidncmp(dcroid_t * a, dcroid_t * b, size_t n)
{
size_t i;
size_t szA = OID_LEN(a);
size_t szB = OID_LEN(b);

if (n == 0)
{
return 0;
}
else if (szB == 0)
{
return 1;
}
else
{
for (i = 0; i < n && i < szA && i < szB; i++)
{
if (OID_AT(a, i) > OID_AT(b, i))
return 1;
else if (OID_AT(a, i) < OID_AT(b, i))
return -1;
}
return 0;
}
}

Except for the function's opening {, all code is lined up
under the opening { of the block it resides in.

I don't seem to see any options that turn off this extra
indent. How do I do this? Any ideas?

Regards,

David

As your question deals with GNU indent, try posting to comp.os.linux or
similar groups. Maybe even comp.programming.

Whether or not you use DJGPP, download ind229b.zip from the djgpp
site (www.delorie.com) and extract the man and info sections. The
info pages are best. If you are using a *IX system you will
probably need to convert the line endings, which unzip can do.

The syntax for indent is pretty arcane, I would say "baroque", and I
don't care for it. I can't answer your question directly, but here is
the "indent.pro" I use. Let me know if you like the results better than
the default or the switches you use:

-bad -bap -bbo -bc -br -brs -ncdb -ce -ci4 -cli4
-cp33 -di4 -fc1 -fca -hnl -i4 -ip4 -l75 -lp -npcs -nprs -npsl
-saf -sai -saw -sc -nsob -nss -ts4 -nut -c4

And here is the one I use on indent 2.2.9

-kr -l66 -i3 -bad -di16 -lc66 -nce -ncs -cbi0 -bbo -pmt -psl -ts1
-cdw
