C function open brace...

[joecar]

I configured Application Language -> C/C++ --> Formatting to put a function block's open brace on the next line...

whenever SE beautifies, it pulls the function open brace to the same line as the function name...

what am I doing wrong...?

Thanks.

Hmm...works for me. I modified the default profile and it worked (Brace Style>Declaration Style>function/method blocks).

Is it for all functions, or just a particular function that it's doing the wrong thing on?  If you copy the problem function out to a blank C++ file, does it still do it wrong then?

I have Brace Style>Declaration Style>function/method blocks set to Next Line.

It happens for all functions, and it even happens when I copy any one of them to a blank C file.

And since smart paste is enabled, it also happens whenever I touch a line close to the function header.

This is a strange one.  Your settings look right, code snippet looks fine.  I'd almost suspect something like the wrong beautifier profile being applied, though I haven't seen anything like that before. 

I'll need to look at your configuration, so we'll send you instructions on how to pack that up in a few minutes.  And save that snippet to a file and send it as well.  I doubt there's anything special in a small code snippet like that that I'm not seeing from the screen shot, but when in doubt, I lean towards paranoia.

Hi joecar,

We just pm'd you some upload instructions.

So far, we are unable to reproduce the problem with your configuration.

if you create a new C++ source file and type "m<space-bar>" to get a main function template, are the braces in the right place for you?

Also, turn off adaptive formatting, and see if the brace ends up in the correct place then - the beautifier does sync the brace style from adaptive formatting when it is enabled.  Adaptive formatting picks a brace style looking at all of the brace usage, and does not break usage down into different statement types, so it can homogenize your brace style in places that it differs from the most common use.

Yes, the main() template puts the braces in the right place.

This seems to fix it.

Thanks.
