[40.3] Are there any pretty-printers that reformat C++ source code?
In alphabetical order:
- A2PS is a Unix-based pretty-printer. It is available from
www.infres.enst.fr/~demaille/a2ps/
- Artistic Style is a reindenter and reformatter of C++, C and Java
source code. It is available from
astyle.sourceforge.net/
- C++2LaTeX is a LaTeX pretty printer. It is available from
roederberg.dyndns.org/~arnold/cpp2latex
- C-Clearly by V Communications, Inc. is a Windows program that comes
with standard formatting templates and also allows you to customize your own.

- GNU indent program may help. It's available at
www.arceneaux.com/indent.html. You can also find an
"official" GNU mirror site by looking at
www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html or perhaps the original GNU site,
prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/ (e.g., if the current version is 1.9.1
you could use prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/indent-1.9.1.tar.gz).
- "HPS Beauty" is reported to be a Windows 95/98/NT4/NT2000 utility
that beautifies C/C++ source code based on rules. The interface is entirely
GUI, but HPS Beauty may also be run from the command line. It supports style
files, which allow you to save and restore groups of settings. HPS Beauty also
offers an optional visual results window, that shows both the before and the
after file. Optional HTML output allows you to view source code with syntax
highlighting in your browser. www.highplains.net.
- "ProFactor StyleManager" has lots of options, and is integrated with
Microsoft Visual C++. It is a commercial product with a free 14-day trial
period. www.profactor.co.uk/products.php.
- "Source Styler for C++" has lots of bells and whistles. It
is a commercial product with a free 15-day trial period. It seems to
offer control over tons of different features.

- tgrind is a Unix based pretty printer. It usually comes with the
public distribution of TeX and LaTeX in the directory
"...tex82/contrib/van/tgrind". A more up-to-date version of tgrind by
Jerry Leichter can be found on: venus.ycc.yale.edu/pub in
[.TGRIND]. [Note: If anyone has an updated URL for tgrind, please let me
know (cline@parashift.com).]
- uncrustify from uncrustify.sourceforge.net.
Finally, you might consider
lgrind which is another C++ to LaTeX
translator (
check for
the closest mirror site of the ctan archive). The following is a
grind definition for C++ (but this one doesn't recognize some new keywords such
as
bool or
wchar_t, and it doesn't recognize a file ending with
.cpp as C++):
