Options for GNU Indent

[Jonathan M. Rose]

Hello All:

I spent several hours last Tuesday and today trying to configure GNU
indent to match my coding style, but I still can't get two items to
work correctly:

1) I prefer the opening brace to a function to be on the same line as
the function name, like (this is similar to a generic Java coding
format):
void myFunction(void) {
...
}

and:

2) I prefer to have two blank lines separate functions:
void myFunction1(void) {
...
}


void myFunction2(void) {
...
}

Can anyone send the correct GNU indent options to achieve these goals,
or tell me whether it is possible at all? Thank you!

Recent versions of GNU indent support the undocumented option -brf
that implements this behavior. Give it a try, if it works great, if
not, update to 2.2.9.

void myFunction1(void) {

void myFunction2(void) {

I only see one blank link in your example. I do not think GNU indent
supports specifying the number of blank lines inserted after a
function body but the program is open source so your could always add
such an option yourself...

That worked perfectly. Thank you very much.

Sorry about that - I meant to put two blank lines in there. I tried -
bap2, thinking that might do it, but it didn't work...
