Delphi code formatter inquiry

[wuwuxin 28]

Any third-party code formatter that can correctly format the inline var?

cnpack formater is probably the best one out there, I'm using it daily to format code containing inlines without any problem.

The one in GExperts apparently can do that. I didn't really know but just tested it with:

procedure bla;
begin
  for var i: Integer := 0 to List.Count - 1 do begin

  end;
  for var i := 0 to List.Count - 1 do begin

  end;
  var blub: Integer = 5;
  Inc(blub);

  var X := 0.5;
  var Y := X - 3;
end;

And this looks fine to me.

With the default code formatter, it goes 'wrong' when you skip the type:

 

var
  settings := dtmSettings.ReadRecord;

 

Or....
 

var settings : TSettings := dtmSettings.ReadRecord;

I'm not sure what you're trying to tell me. I had such an example in my test:

 var X := 0.5;

and it seems to work. This was with the "twm" settings because that's what I use. I haven't tried any of the others.

May be I am too quick with my answer. .. sorry! The default built in ( IDE ) source code formatter does it wrong. I did not try the GEXPERTS formatter ( until now )
