With the current C++ mode, I lines beginning with "<<" for output are
indented like the others.
i.e
cout << djfhsjdf << sdjfhsdhfjdf
<< sjhfjshf << sdjfhjkdfh
<< jsdhfjkhf dfhjksdhf
<< jdfhjhdfjhdf << \n
Can someone fix this to give
cout << sjfjskdf << sdjfhsdkjf
<< shfdjhf << jahdkjhskjdhf
<< dhfjhda << sdfhjsdhfjkh
<< jdhfkjsdhfhs << \n;
If the previous and current lines *begin* with << then indent them at one
indentation.
Thanks
Aamod Sane

Even if it isn't, does someone know how to fix it so that the three strings line up. -- Francis Sullivan Sunquest Information Systems email: francis@sunquest.com or 930 N.

In article <1990Dec11.174324.11176@julius.cs.uiuc.edu> sane@cs.uiuc.edu (Aamod Sane) wants:
Not this:
cout << djfhsjdf << sdjfhsdhfjdf
<< sjhfjshf << sdjfhjkdfh
<< jsdhfjkhf dfhjksdhf
<< jdfhjhdfjhdf << \n
but rather this:
cout << sjfjskdf << sdjfhsdkjf
<< shfdjhf << jahdkjhskjdhf
<< dhfjhda << sdfhjsdhfjkh
<< jdhfkjsdhfhs << \n;
I think I agree with Aamod's sense of aesthetics. In fact, I think I
would go a step further. What c++-mode is doing with the "<<" lines
here is consistent with what it does with other continuation lines,
and I think I'd like Aamod's treatment applied there, too. For
example:
sum = a[0] + a[1] + a[2] + a[3] + a[4] + a[5] + a[6] + a[7] +
a[8] + a[9] + a[10] + a[11] + a[12] + a[13] + a[14] +
a[15] + a[16] + a[17] + a[18] + a[19] + a[20] + a[21]
+ a[22] + a[23] + a[24] + a[25];
Wouldn't this look better like this?
sum = a[0] + a[1] + a[2] + a[3] + a[4] + a[5] + a[6] + a[7] +
a[8] + a[9] + a[10] + a[11] + a[12] + a[13] + a[14] +
a[15] + a[16] + a[17] + a[18] + a[19] + a[20] + a[21] +
a[22] + a[23] + a[24] + a[25];
It appears to me that the "<<" behavior is merely a consequence of
this more general behavior: what Aamod proposes specifically would be
some kind of special case, while changing the general behavior would
also fix Aamod's desires. I suppose this hadn't up very often, even
in c-mode, until people started stringing "<<" together.
What I'm wondering is, is there some semantic confusion here I should
consider? Does the cascading indentation represent some meaning that
ought to be preserved? Does the columnar indentation suggest
something that it oughtn't? What does this group's readership think?
