CCSv6.1.1: formatter is adding newline after namespace resolution operator

Hello,

The source code formatter is adding a newline after the namespace resolution operator.

for example,

Before format:

 SomeNameSpace::functionInNameSpace();

After format:

SomeNameSpace
::functionInNameSpace();

What setting do I need to change to stop the formatter from adding the newline?

    seems like where this would be configured.  Unfortunately it is not obvious to me which setting would be giving the behavior you describe.

    I am guessing this behavior is inherited from Eclipse/CDT.  If you can't get a satisfactory answer here, you might try an Eclipse forum.

    I think all the built in formatters do the same thing for this situation.

    Does anyone at TI have any idea how to stop it from behaving this way?

    Ok, I think I found out what is causing the issue.

    The file I was trying to format has a .c file extension. The problem goes away if I change the extension to .cpp.

    I had thought that the treat c as cpp option would allow the formatter to work properly, however, that is not the case. This make sense since the formatter is a separate plug-in.

    I am wondering if the the treat c as cpp option should be moved to the preferences c/c++ section.
