help with 'indent' formatting of C source

Hi group.

I have this on running debate about how a C source file SHOULD BE formatted. So I use indent to format it to my specs. Right now I can't get it to the way I want it. For example, this is the output
from indent:

int
Quit (
)
{
gettimeofday ( &Timer, '\0' );
localtime_r ( &Timer.tv_sec, &Time );
fprintf ( stderr, "%.2d:%.2d:%.2d.%.4d ", ( int )Time.tm_hour,
( int )Time.tm_min, ( int )Time.tm_sec,
( int )Timer.tv_usec / 100 );;
printf ( "\x1B[1;34;40m" "Exiting" "\x1B[0;0;0m" "\x1B[K\n" );
exit ( 0 );
}

I would like it to look like this:

int
Quit ( ) {
gettimeofday ( &Timer, '\0' );
localtime_r ( &Timer.tv_sec, &Time );
fprintf ( stderr, "%.2d:%.2d:%.2d.%.4d ",
( int )Time.tm_hour,
( int )Time.tm_min, ( int )Time.tm_sec,
( int )Timer.tv_usec / 100 );;
printf ( "\x1B[1;34;40m" "Exiting" "\x1B[0;0;0m" "\x1B[K\n" );
exit ( 0 ); }

My indent.pro looks like this:

-nsai
-nsaf
-nut
-bc
-bad
-bap
-bbb
-br
-cli2
-bfde
-ppi 3
-nsai
-nsaf
-prs
-nce
-ncdw
-bl
-nsaw
-nbc
-nbad
-nbap
-nbbb
-ncdb
-ncs
-nip
-brs
-prs

Any ideas??

You should put code inside [ code ]...[ /code ] blocks to preserve the indentation when posting code segments. The .profile.pro options you posted result in:

Code:

 indent ind1 -st
int
Quit (
 )
{
  gettimeofday ( &Timer, '\0' );
  localtime_r ( &Timer.tv_sec, &Time );
  fprintf ( stderr, "%.2d:%.2d:%.2d.%.4d ", ( int )Time.tm_hour,
            ( int )Time.tm_min, ( int )Time.tm_sec,
            ( int )Timer.tv_usec / 100 );;
  printf ( "\x1B[1;34;40m" "Exiting" "\x1B[0;0;0m" "\x1B[K\n" );
  exit ( 0 );
}

There is a -br and -bl option handling braces. I can't imagine why anyone would want the closing brace on the last line of code. Unless you have a very small block contained on one line of code.

Thanks for the comments. I will use the code keyword from now on.

The -br and -bl does what I want for IFs, that is good. But I do want what you can't image. I am dyslexic and do not see thing the same as you do.
The lone brackets confuse my eyes, they just cause visual interference.
Using your example, here is what I want:

Code:

int
Quit( )  {

  gettimeofday( &Timer, '\0' );
  localtime_r( &Timer.tv_sec, &Time );
  fprintf( stderr, "%.2d:%.2d:%.2d.%.4d ", (int) Time.tm_hour,
            (int) Time.tm_min, (int) Time.tm_sec,
            (int) Timer.tv_usec / 100 );;
  printf( "\x1B[1;34;40m" "Exiting" "\x1B[0;0;0m" "\x1B[K\n" );
  exit ( 0 );  }

Note the brackets have two spaces before them.

I am beginning to think I need to run the output through an AWK or SED program?
