CODECOMPOSER: how formatter deals with new lines in conditional expressions

Hi all,

When I have new lines like these:

if ((conditional1)

&&(conditional2)

&&(conditional3))

I can see that the output of the formatter does not remove these new lines and we can see something like this when applying Line Wrapping

if ((conditional1)

&&(conditional2)

&&(conditional3))

Is it is possible to remove these new lines with any logical rule configured in the formatter?

Thans in advance,

Best Regards

I took a quick look and didn't see anything under the New Lines section of the formatter. I'll take a closer look and see if there is a way...

Looks like the CDT formatter is more limited than the Java formatter and options for removing new lines is not available with CDT.

Thank you very much Ki! It is a pity that the option is not available for CDT formatter

Looks like either:
- we should implement a script to remove these new lines before applying the formatter

- or maybe is there any other formater available in eclipse marketplace that could do the job for us

Am I right?

Perhaps. I did take a quick look but so far have not found anything. If you do find something that works for you, please do share it.

Thanks

I filed an enhancement request for this. Tracking link: https://sir.ext.ti.com/jira/browse/EXT_EP-10673

To be honest, it will be a challenge to address this in the near term since the CDT is not something that we (TI) has a lot of control over.

Thanks

Thank you very much Ki!

I know that this enhancement request is for Eclipse and not CCS, but we appreciate very much your interest and hopefully in the future it could be attended.

In any case in the meantime we have found an interesting app from eclipse Marketplace https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/cppstyle, as it is based in clang, which is a supported by a great development community and highly customizable

As it can be found here:
https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormatStyleOptions.html

We can define an instruction like this to solve above problem:
MaxEmptyLinesToKeep: 0
