Hi!

indent does pretty much of a good job with C++, but I suspect that it
is confused by `<' as can be found in C++.  On the following sample:

void
visit (void)
{
  if (bar)
    dynamic_cast < const Record * >(baz);
  else
  record = 0;
}

it reports:

/tmp % indent type-visitor.hh                                    nostromo 19:00
indent: type-visitor.hh:6: Error:Unmatched 'else'

and improperly indents the else branch.

Thanks!

Hello.

I received this from the Debian bug system. I've checked and it may
also be reproduced using indent-2.2.8 (not packaged for Debian yet).

While we're at it: indent does not follow the GNU Coding Standards:
there is no need for `Error', but mainly neither Error nor Unmatched
should be capitalized.

I have no idea whether it matters to you :)

When will these people learn?
If indent works with any C++ it is just your good luck. indent is not
supported for use with C++ code.

Problem report rejected.

Ok, but what about the GNU Coding Standards part?

AFAIK, indent is still GNU indent.

When taught.

I seem to recall Carlo Wood did some work about C++.  I seem to find
template, class etc. in indent.  So forgive me to not understand
properly what you name C.
