Hi Andrew: The date of the next release has been been put off so if you have some time for PLplot right now, I think this would be a good opportunity to attempt some style cleanup using uncrustify. I feeling I get is our developers don't care that much about coding style so long as it is consistent for all PLplot source code and reasonably follows the guidelines stated by Geoffrey. So I think if you are willing to take the lead on this following your own style taste (while remaining reasonably consistent with what Geoffrey stated), then all of us would be grateful to you for solving the code style inconsistencies that currently plague us.
I noticed that as of revision 10147 (2009-07-13) you changed some uncrustify.cfg parameters to bring the results more in line with the style which you prefer. Are you satisfied with the resulting style for our C and C++ source code? If not, please go ahead and change uncrustify.cfg until you are satisfied. I would also suggest you go ahead with changing to the consistent style enforced by uncrustify for some well-defined but fairly large subset of our C/C++ source code such as the source code in src, examples/c, include, bindings/c++, and examples/c++. That subset would give our entire group of developers a chance to double-check the C/C++ style results produced by uncrustify with our version of uncrustify.cfg before we mechanically expand the effort to make all our C/C++ source code have that consistent style.
