Using Visual Studio as a code formatter

-

hi all
this not question, rather answer question.

i have large program, me atleast. has many nested ifs , other blocks. got more , more confused blocks ended. indenting code helps, sloppy indenting not. , commenting blocks { makes more difficult. so, tried copy paste code visual studio 2008 c++ file. , arduino ide.

in visual studio there in edit/advanced menu, interesting choices. somehow managed code indented. (start "select all".) i'll check better next time need it.

now code easier follow in arduino ide too.

have comments. better ways this.

well @ least hope helps one.

...any comments...


ummm...

see http://www.arduino.cc/en/guide/environment.  scroll down tools , see auto format.

or...

in arduino ide on tools dropdown menu, click on auto format.  it tell mismatched brackets (among other things) , (maybe) make easier spot kinds of block errors.

i don't it, tend make indentation more consistent.  for other trivial test programs, (usually) use external editor (gvim on linux) autoindent in customizable way.  (for example: when print out programs, blocks indented 4 spaces, not two, arduino gives.)  for lot (a lot)more formatting options. use gnu indent utility program.. "comes territory" on linux distributions, , install gnu compilers , lots of linux-like utilities cygwin on windows xp workstations.


regards,

dave

hello ! wrote today article on blog cpu load monitoring (using gpio , leds) on raspberry's. simple (written in little shell script), think can useful (for people want learn leds stuff on r. pi) there 5 leds turning on , off regarding cpu load: - cpu < 20%: 1 led - cpu < 40%: 2 leds - cpu < 60%: 3 leds - cpu < 80%: 4 leds - cpu < 90%: 5/5 leds - cpu >= 90%: 5 leds flashing here article: written in french, can watch youtube video , download code @ bottom of article. http://www.chteuchteu.com/2012/10/26/ra ... e-au-gpio/ if find errors in code, can post comment on article. ! up code enhancements ? raspberrypi
