Question

I’m trying to use a GNU-based coding style in Eclipse Galileo for C++. By default, conditional statements look like this:

if (true)
  {
    return;
  }

The curly braces are being indented, when they should line up under the if statement and the following line shouldn’t be double-indented. This is what I want:

if (true)
{
  return;
}

I can find all of the settings to control where the curly braces appear for control statements, but I can’t find the command to stop indenting the curly braces. Can someone give me a recommendation?

Answer 1

The setting your searching for is under Edit...->Braces->Blocks. Setting it to Next Line is what you want.

You have to copy the build-in GNU coding style to a new profile before you can edit the coding style.
