Re: [Bug-indent] Oops on Nested Loops (and stuff)

[j c]

Actually, it seems that Alex was talking about the
fact that the for(j..) and for(k..) statements are
indented the same amount.  I also am frustrated with
this.  It seems that the indentation is the same for
every other nest level if using -i4. -i2 moves it in
2, then back 2, every nest level.  -i3 puts it in 3,
then back 1.  Is there a way to make indent just keep
indenting IN?

  This aberration is the standard behaviour...

  In fact all standard indentations (GNU, K&R, Linux
kernel, ...)
  put { at the end of a line, hence the problem...

  You can you the option -bli0 to get the correct
thing...
  I you add -bl, you will also move the { from the end
of a line
  to its own line...

  BTW something's wrong in your code, "int main()",
the empty parentheses
  are wrong in ANSI C... You have to state "int
main(void)" to have no argument,
  otherwise you instead say nothing about the
arguments, which is bad...
