I am not yet convinced that mingling C++ and ObjC formatting that closely is a wise decision. I think we might need something that clearly separates the different modes. And you touch a lot of code that I intended to refactor into something halfway sane this week. I will take your patch into consideration when doing so, but it might need some changes afterwards.</div>
</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></div>If we're going to distinguish the modes, we need to do so syntactically. Objective-C++ is a very popular dialect; we can't simply rely on extrinsic knowledge of whether we're dealing with Objective-C or C++ to make these decisions.</div>
</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div style="">I am not sure I fully understand this. We are currently relying on a Lexer which in turn requires LangOptions to create the correct tokens. Same for the identifier table we use to split raw_identifiers into identifiers and keywords. Are you saying the formatter should not capitalize on this knowledge of the input token stream?</div>
</div></div></div></div></blockquote><br></div><div>Oh, it should certainly capitalize on this knowledge. My concern is that, when you mentioned that we might need something that "clearly separates the different modes", you were thinking of Objective-C and C++ as independent languages that aren't used together. Fortunately, we can tell syntactically whether we're in an Objective-C method declaration fairly easily: they start with + or -, almost always in the first column, so if it would be better to go down a different code-formatting path where the rules for spacing around (/)/: are different, we could do that instead.</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div>Right. My original formatter patch was made to distinguish an objc method declaration this way. We can do for other decls easily as all objc specific decls start with @somename if we have to.</div><div><br></div><div>- Fariborz</div><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>- Doug</div><br></div></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
