We ran indent with following options: -kr -ts4 -l120 -bad -nbbo -br
-nce -nbfda -nut
Prakhar,
I did a little investigation and the problem of successive runs
changing the file seems to be triggered by the -kr option (or more
correctly some setting that is modified by that option). When -kr was
removed, the output was constant.
However,....
I don't believe indent can or should handle this code as it is not
technically legal C (or C++) IMO. I am assuming that PREFIX and SUFFIX
are some preprocessor definitions that evaluate to legal statements,
but indent is not aware of their expansions. If I add terminators to
both PREFIX and SUFFIX, the output is constant (confused, but
constant).
If someone can convince me that indent *should* support this syntax
(please include reference to C spec or GNU extension document) then I
might consider it a bug.
