AStyle.exe

Post by rassul »

AStyle.exe does not work using options: -A3 and -b, I have to run the program two times with each of these two options. Is it a bug or what?
Thanks in advance. :(

Just for your information the astyle.exe is nothing more than stock standard exe found on the Astyle official web page found here:

http://astyle.sourceforge.net/
AStyle.exe does not work using options: -A3 and -b
Now to the issue at hand. Inside Zeus I used the Tools, DOS Command Line menu and ran this command to bring up the AStyle help page:
astyle -?
In the resulting help information I found these two entries:
--style=k&r OR --style=k/r OR -A3
Kernighan & Ritchie style formatting/indenting.
Linux brackets.
--brackets=break OR -b
Break brackets from pre-block code (i.e. ANSI C/C++ style).
So I think the issue you are seeing is the -b is part of the ANSI style and not the K&R style and hence the reason for the need to run the tool twice.

In which case I think there are at least two possible options:

Option 1: Using the AStyle help details from above try tweaking the Zeus Astyle.lua macro options to suit.

Option 2: Edit the Zeus Astyle.lua macro and just run the AStyle.exe a second time using the -b option.

I think the second option is probably the simplest.

The version of the Zeus Astyle.lua macro that I run is shown below (note your version might be different).

I have indicated in the code below where I would be making changes for the Option 1:[/1] or Option 2:[/1] changes.

Sorry for my dumb question, but where is the astyle.exe file located that the script is using? I can't find it anywhere. Thx.

JFYI this is where the command line is built to run the astyle.exe executable.

Code: Select all

  -- build up the final styling command line 
  local cmd = "astyle.exe" .. " " ..  cmd_options  .. " \"" .. file_name .. "\"" 
and you can view the command line by un-commenting this line:

Code: Select all

  -- for debugging only 
  --message_box(1, cmd, "Command Line", caption)
Now back to your question:
where is the astyle.exe file located that the script is using?
As you can see from above there is no location specified in the command line.

The actual location of the executable is here: C:\Program Files\zeus\zGNU

The reason this works is Zeus will ensure the above folder is always defined in it's private version of the PATH environment variable.
