Re: [Bug-indent] Bug#228110: indent: Option -T not documented enough (fwd)

[Daniel P. Valentine]

Hello,

The option "-T" tells indent that its argument is a typename so that it 
can be interpreted properly.  This allows the user to specify that 
user-defined types are the equivalent of "int" or "char" for the 
purposes of program parsing.

This is documented clearly in the man page and in the info file in the 
indent distribution.  If after reading the documentation, you can 
suggest better descriptions of the functionality, I'm sure they would 
be welcome.

The main purpose of "-T" is not the spacing of an asterisk within 
parameter declarations.  Your other suggestion of a separate option is 
a possibility, but perhaps of limited utility.

Regards,
Dan
