and this time i have a patch.
i implemented two variants, therefore the ifdef.
the first variant takes the nearest line with any non-whitespace as a
template, like current mcedit does. but unlike the current code, it does
not truncate the indentation to the current column (this can happen if
the line we are coming from is whitespace only and shorter than the
template line). this is also the way the old borland editors behaved,
but it's a true nightmare if you have no trailing whitespace removal.
the second variant just copies the leading whitespace of the previous
line, even if it is whitespace-only or even empty. i think this is
perfectly reasonable.
the second patch is just an optimization - the cheaper condition should
be evaluated first.
fwiw, the editor (and prolly all of mc) is full of such constructs. it
also contains things like "if (char[p] && p_in_certain_range)" where p
could actually go out of bounds unless constrained from outside. this
should be fixed, if only for the sake of clarity.
