Possible formatting bug in D11.3??

[Ian Branch 121]

Hi Team,

My Formatter setting for Line Breaks in 'Line breaks in Var and Const sections' is set to As is.

I like to format like this..

  //
  var sAppVersList: string;
  var aAppPath := ExtractFileDir(ParamStr(0));
  var aFileNames := TDirectory.GetFiles(aAppPath, '*.exe');
  var sFileName: string;
  //

If I now run the Delphi 'Format Project Sources', I get the following..

  //
  var sAppVersList: string;
  var
  aAppPath := ExtractFileDir(ParamStr(0));
  var
  aFileNames := TDirectory.GetFiles(aAppPath, '*.exe');
  var sFileName: string;
    //

Is this a bug or have I missed something??

It only happens where values are assigned to the var.

 

Regards & TIA,

Ian

it's by default! 

 

 

did you try some like this:  "... comments break-the-rules ..."  do you remember?

Quote

var xx : typexx = value;

or

var { } xx = value;

or 

combining...

Ummm.  Sorry, no.  Where is this referred to pls?

In any case I would contend that what I have should be OK.  🙂

the RAD use some templates to Code Editor like CSS format, you can see on ObjRepo on RAD... then, I think that u can customize it, but it's not documented at all.

I has tryed to customize help insight but just for tests...

K.  Tks.  Maybe I will submit it as a suggestion/enhancement.  Although I still think it is a bug. 😉

I think that it was always that way for me!

 

var...  Ctrl+D

.... xxxxx // inline way

It's only become an 'issue' since the introduction of inline assignable variables.
