HOW TO : auto formatting code in µvision version 4

TRAN THE QUYEN

Dear all,

I was a user if IAR, and in IAR there was a function which is called " auto indent". When you use it, it can auto formatting your code, make it more clear to read.

For example :

When you type below ( usually copied from another text file which was not tabified correctly):

void SetupData(uint16_t data)
         {
data=data<<8;
             GPIOB->ODR=(data);
}

Use the function Auto Indent with this block of code can auto formatting your code as below :

void SetupData(uint16_t data)
{
  data=data<<8;
  GPIOB->ODR=(data);
}

I want to know if Keil and µvision can do it, it saves a lot of time for me. Without this function, i won't buy µvision but will investe in IAR tools.
Thank all,

Parents

    Hi Westermark, Thank for your quick answer. I don't really understand why you said " the type of person who likes to include threat". It was only my point of view and my choice after 3 days of using µVision, and i have used IAR for 3 years in my last company.

    I want just let you know that when i have used IAR for 3 years and i always want to compare between IAR and KEIL because i love all debug utilities in µvision, they are more friendly than IAR. And more, writting code is a habit, if you have to change the tool, you always wish to have some same little functions which you got used to.

    That's why my question is HOW TO ( i'm sure that IT CAN ) but HOW . Can we intergrate the function auto formatting code in µvision itself ? And then auto formatting code by a short cut for example.

    Thx

    I don't run any recent uVision (yes, I have a valid license but all projects I work with are certified using older tool versions) so I haven't checked what may have changed in recent versions of the tools.

    But uVision have a Tools menu. And it contains a choice Customize Tools Menu...

    Select that command and then press the Help button - that should give you enough information to get uVision to run external programs to process the contents of files you have selected in the editor.

    And as I said, indent is a quite good program - and there are other tools with similar capabilities.

    So you just press a key or select a menu choice to run your source file through indent.

    Hi,

    JUST FORGET MY BY THE WAY, it was a joke, and thank for your advice about Indent anyway.

    I will try it and give some feedback to HOW TO.

    Thx
