Artistic Style Plugin

[Lykurg]

Hi there!

Finally I did it myself since I waited long enough... I have created a plugin for creator that formats your code with the great tool Artistic Style. Such a plugin was terrible missing by me, since I am so lazy to keep a consistent structure in my files.

Right now the plugin is very basic and only have a poor looking configure page. But I will work on it. Also binary versions for the Qt sdk's creator will follow. For now, you have to compile it yourself, but if you want to have a look at it: http://astyleplugin.berlios.de

Enjoy,

Hey,

just release version 0.2! New Stuff:

• The cursor stays now at the same row after formating and is not jumping around.
• I have created a new settings page which is now readable...
• Binaries for Linux SDK and Windows SDK (32 bit): Now you can easily use Artistic Style Plugin with the creator which is bundled in the SDK's. Just extract the downloaded archive in the root directory.

P.s.: Since I had get my first MacBook Pro that week, I have planed also to release a binary for OS X. Unfortunately mac development is not so easy as thought The next weeks I also wont have time to take care about. So if any of you are familiar with creating a creator plugin for OS X, it would be nice if you could post a minimalistic howto... That would speed up things.

Hi,

recently I released 0.5.1 with some bugfixes and improvements. Qt Creator 2.0.0 is now also supported.

Download the Binary for creator 2.0.0 and windows.

So finally I managed to spend some more time on the plugin. Thus it works now with the new creator version 2.1.0 and it works properly when the code is folded. So check out the new version 0.6!

Any news about Mac OS X version?

Hi,

the PlugIn is realy great. But, after updateing to QtC 2.2 it isn't working anymore.
Is there any plan to port for the latest QtCreator version?

Best, Richard

I know this is an old thread, but I'm interested in this as well. Having a Qt Creator plugin for automatic code style checking seems the best way to go. Has any progress been made on this? Are there other tools/plugins out there that are recommended for Qt/C++ style checking?

As far as I know Lorenz is currently working on a new version of the plugin.

I doooooooo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9ItbbkHl5Q, 0:13)! But the goals are so high.... I guess I will need some weeks. So I will hurry up to release a beta, which should do the basic stuff.

I'm glad to hear this project is still alive. I have a few questions though. I'm mainly wondering how extensive the styling options are. The screenshots at the Artistic Style Plugin website seem to indicate that indentation is, for the most part, all the formatting the plugin does. Is this indeed the case? What about enforcing CamelCase for variables? The "m_" prefix for private data members? Ensuring pointer declarations are written as "int* myType" vs. "int * myType" or "int *myType"? The placement of curly braces? These are just some examples of the auto-formatting capabilities I am looking for. It would be fantastic if all these coding styles could be specified with this plugin.

[Lykurg]

It is just a wrapper around Artistic Style. For its options see http://astyle.sourceforge.net/astyle.html.

CamelCase and "m_" are not supported, since it is too dangerous and you can't be sure that all occurrences get updated. Unless you program a real compiler...

Ehm, almost a year later... BUT after a week of pure developing it is ready! Version 1.0.0 - because is sounds nicer then 0.7

Almost an entire rewrite. Now supports astylerc files defind by OTHER_FILES in the pro file. Looks for astylerc file in the users home directory. It can format a whole (Qt based) project, etc. etc.

Visit astyleplugin.sourceforge.net! (A git repository will follow.)

Hi,

just updated to version 1.0.1 and uploaded binary packages to work with the new Qt Creator 2.7.0.

[tahayassen]

Thank you!!! This application is perfect.

Just uploaded a new version which uses Artistic Style 2.03. Enjoy!
