Auto-format deletes code
May 26th, 2005, 6:27am  
I have found what seems to be an error in the auto-format tool's behavior.  If I have code that looks like the following:

class Bug{
 Bug(){
   w = random(size)/3)+10;
   ...

and I run auto-format, it deletes everything in the sketch after the paren following the 3. Which seems very much the wrong thing to do.

I think it's because this code is wrong (extra paren; should be "random(size/3)+10"), so it's mis-parsing in some way.  If you hit "undo", you get a blank sketch (everything deleted); a second "undo" gets you back to where you were before you ran auto-format.

I'm running 0.90 on a win2k box, but I'm pretty sure it did the same thing on my linux box at work.

Yes, me too. I went from 6000 lines to 2000 lines. Frightening!

in the meantime just undo (may need to more than once). the auto-format code is contributed from martin gomez so he's in charge of fixing it. but if he can't fix it then we'll just go back to the old formatter.
