#170 Code Formatter - Static Arrays

[Rob Truby]

The Code Formatter forats static array declarations as array references

Test: array [ 0..4] of Single;

with a space fefore the "[" is formatted the same as

Test[0] := 1;

which does not have a space before "["

Formatting removes the space in the declaration (depending on the options in the spacing tab of the formatter configuration.

Ideally I would like a space beofre the "[" in the declaration but not in the reference. This is not possible in GExperts at present.

In the spacing options it would also be useful to have "No Change" in addition to:

• None
• Before Only
• After Only
• Before and After

Is this a bug report or a feature request? If a bug report: What exactly is the bug?
If it is a feature request, please file it as such.

My thoughts were that the formatter was not designed to format static array declarations and hence the bug report. But I can post this as a feature request if you prefer.

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for following up - this is minor.

I normally expect a space between the word array and the square bracket.
Below is formatting from the Delphi in-built formatter.

The GExperts formatter removes this space.

Thanks again for all your work.

Regards,

Rob

Sorry, I still don't understand what the problem is. Could you please give some more context for the examples?

I don't regard this as a bug and don't think I will spend any time on it if it was made a feature request. But feel free to submit a feature request anyway. Maybe somebody else will care enough to implement it (But don't hold your breath for that either, there aren't that many contributors left).
