Outside of the purview of a few high-end hackers, I don't really think this is true. I certainly can't do this, though I wouldn't claim to be any sort of expert at driving IDEs. The real issue, to my mind, is coding standards. Companies, for good reason, like to have all code on a project written the same way. While you can have a tool re-format the code, I haven't seen a tool yet that does a decent job moving the comments around in a consistent way. In practice, "consistent" means "close enough so that transforming from layout A to layout B and back results in the identity transformation". Anybody know a tool that can actually do that? I'm curious. _______________________________________________ bitc-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.coyotos.org/mailman/listinfo/bitc-dev
