I've been writing C with a bare bones neovim install. But I miss code formatting.
A quick google pointed me in the direction of two different C code formatters,
indent by gnu and astyle by someone else. I'm currently working on windows
so I ran a choco search indent
. When it did not return anything that looked
like the package I wanted I searched instead for astyle
. It was there, so my
decision was made.
A quick look at the docs and I see predefined format styles. I really like the allman style. Broken braces are the thinking man's braces. So now I format my C source code with this neat command:
astyle --style=allman --recursive src/*.c
Everything looks nice and tidy. Still no need for a complicated IDE.
