(OT) Perltidy,VIM for C/C++ visual block cleanup

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

One of the indispensable thing we can do with .perltidyrc and VIM is that we can hightlight one block in VIM (visually) and do "! perltidy" to cleanup just a block within a file.

Can we do the same thing also in C/C++ environment as well under VIM as IDE? Please advice?

Sure you can ... you just have to find the appropriate beautifier. I cannot recommend any but try google. -derby update: Or google for OSS code beautifiers. another update: And I'd give uncrustify a try based on name alone!	[reply]

Thanks. But what I mean is beautifying within VIM editor - especially visualize block, "uncrustify" doesn't seem to work on VIM.	[reply]

Sure it does ... `!uncrustify -c config_file` works for me. I didn't really like having to pass the config file option all the time so I modified the source to use a default. But ... it works. What problems are you having? -derby	[reply] [d/l]
