Hi,


I´ve just recently stumbled across this ng, so I'm not sure if my
problem has already been discussed at full length: Does anybody of you
know of a tool to "prettify" source code automatically (C++/JAVA)? The
only difference to "real" compiler would be that no executable is
output in the end, but a new source file conforming to a previously
defined style template, e.g.:


You have some source code like this:


#include<stdio.h>
#define dEbUG
#define constANT 1
int VARIABLE=constANT;void main (void){printf("\r\nUseless example program 1.0\r\n");
#ifdef dEbUG
    printf ("\r\nvariable = %d\r\n",VARIABLE);
#endif
}




And after running "restyle test.cpp style-template.dat" you get something like this:


#include<stdio.h>




//--------------------------- CONSTANTS ---------------------------
#define DEBUG
#define CONSTANT 1




//----------------------- GLOBAL VARIABLES ------------------------
int
    iVariable = CONSTANT;




//------------------------------ MAIN -----------------------------
void main (void)
{
    printf("\r\nUseless example program 1.0\r\n");


#ifdef DEBUG
    printf("\r\nvariable = %d\r\n",iVariable);
#endif


}


I´ve already searched the web for many hours, but to no avail.


Many thanks in advance


Michael
