Yes, I am aware of all these disadvantages. And they are significant. But did you read for example the testsuite code yourself? The current inconsistent formatting make it harder than usual to understand and modify it. Se for example testsuite/misc-ming.all/attachMovieTest.c for a small example. Code like this make me suspect that the advantage of reflowing the code might be bigger than the disadvantages. The problem is biggest in the test suite, as the rest of the code normally uses one coding style per file or directory, at lest. I do not care what formatting is used, but having 4-5 different formatting and indentation styles in the same function is making the code hard to read. Picking one and allowing software to help us enforce it would be an advantage, I believe. At least for the test suite code. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen _______________________________________________ Gnash-dev mailing list Gnash-dev@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnash-dev
