#81 Indentation offset of function arguments

[xrr]

Hi,

Say we have this code:

..return function(
....longLongLongLongargument1,
....longlonglonglongargument2,
....longlonglonglongargument3);

astyle changes the indentation to:

..return function(
...........longLongLongLongargument1,
...........longlonglonglongargument2,
...........longlonglonglongargument3);

Might be just me, but I prefer the initial indentation. Couldn't find an option for such indentation, it would be nice to have.

Thanks.

I concur. I also would like the option to keep the original single indented break, as it sometimes allows more compact code, as in #2 bellow.

// #1 Parenthesis aligned break (ASync default)
ratherLongFunction(true,
                   "Long text, perhaps a log message of some kind.");

// #2 Indented break
ratherLongFunction(true,
    "Long text, perhaps a log message of some kind.");

I wouldn't mind this option myself. I like to keep the code lines short and I often use multiline routine calls for that:

createGroup(
    "gof",          // name
    "Gang of Four", // description
    false,          // sharedResources
    false);         // public

With many (more than 3) parameters it also gives the option of using comments to explain each of them. Currently I indent everything with four spaces, no exceptions.
