I'm dealing with some dinosaur C code full of big, horking ugly boxed
comments no doubt placed there by programmers who spend more time talking
in meetings than coding.
:-)
indent seems to explicitly exclude options to 'convert' these to more
tolerable forms. Let me give you an idea of what I'm looking at--600
files looking like this:
/* */
/******************************************************************/
/* X F U N C - PERFORMS INANE FUNCTION */
/******************************************************************/
/* */
unsigned int32 xfunc( /* Perform inane fn */
void) /* */
/* */
{ /* */
unsigned int32 x; /* Local temp var */
... you get the point. Is there a reason you have avoided patches to
make code like this sane, or has it simply never come up (would you
consider patches if I offered them)?
Thanks,
Michael Stumpf
