Not at Eurocontrol :). The recommended way to comment the above in our
case is:
if Blah then
null;
else
-- Let's do something else
null;
end if;
So, I am happy with no look-ahead in this case :).
BTW, looking at gps, effectively, I find no way to indicate that a
comment just
before an else is to be indented (or not) with the following else.
Which means that gps cannot automatically reformat the gnat code without
"destroying" the indentation ?
(gnat code contains such "-- comments before the else to be associated
with the else
