Using 'uncrustify' as replacement for astyle in KDevelop4

I don't much like astyle as it is buggy and the development
has stalled.

I've approached jpetso about the feasability of using
kdevelop-pg and to 
generate a source code beautifier.  Well, chouimat brought
to my attention 
uncrustify:

http://uncrustify.
sourceforge.net/

From what I can see so far, I like it.  It is already more
feature rich than 
AStyle and has an active developer from what I can see of
the svn logs.  He 
is also using a test harness which is very important for
this kind of 
program.

I found a bug already, but I think it is probably easy to
fix:

http://s
ourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1527030
&group_id=153164&atid=786647

From what I can tell, it doesn't mess up the comments and
the pointer 
operators like AStyle.  I'd very much like some default
config(s) included 
with the program -- like Qt Style -- and others, but I think
it shows 
promise.

Thoughts,

Adam

It was.  I'll include the fix in today's 0.0.23 release.

I'd be happy to add any configs you guys come up with.

Thanks Ben!  Talk about your fast turn around time!

You are seriously making me think that uncrustify is the
right replacement for 
astyle

Awesome.  I'll try and come up with some.

Hmm, in 3.*, the automatic formatting done during editing,
and "reformat" 
functionality provided by astyle were completely unrelated.
If you go to 
every line of source file and select "Align"
kate command you get one look of 
source, and if you use "reformat" we get
another.

I think that makes "reformat" functionality much
less useful, so the right 
solution is making both Kate and "reformat" use
one underlying engine. I 
think changing from astyle to anything else is not going to
be better that 
the current situation.
