No i have not gone through copyright assignment.
This is my first time trying to contribute to a GNU project so i have tried
following the "Contributing to GCC"@
https://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html
There i followed the advice to run the patch through contrib/check_GNU_style.sh and it came out clean. Maybe contrib/check_GNU_style.sh does not check for indention rules and/or my editor is set up wrongly so it looked to me like i
was following the coding standard.

Hi Jesper,

Unfortunately, https://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html is quite hard to follow and outdated. I would suggest to start here: https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GettingStarted#Basics:_Contributing_to_GCC_in_10_easy_steps

From there, you'll get to https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/FormattingCodeForGCC

If you know how to improve those pages, for example extending them to other editors, I can give you write access.

Cheers,

Manuel.

Hi

I found a formatting tool called uncrustify that comes with a gnu style config https://github.com/bengardner/uncrustify/blob/master/etc/gnu-indent.cfg that needed a few tweaks to format code that looked what is already in gcc/genattrtab.c

The tweaks was:

indent_with_tabs = 2 // instead of 0
sp_func_def_paren     = add // instead of remove
sp_func_proto_paren  = add // instead of remove
sp_func_call_paren     = add // instead of remove

So now the code should be correctly formatted.
Do i send in a new patch or just respond to the old one with the new changes?

I have also followed instructions at https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2003-06/txt00010.txt to get copyright assignment though i have not yet received a reply.
