13.1.3 Construct Layout Control

This group of gnatpp switches controls the layout of comments and complex syntactic constructs. See Formatting Comments for details on their effect.

-c0

All the comments remain unchanged

-c1

GNAT-style comment line indentation (this is the default).

-c2

Reference-manual comment line indentation.

-c3

GNAT-style comment beginning

-c4

Reformat comment blocks

-c5

Keep unchanged special form comments

Reformat comment blocks

-l1

GNAT-style layout (this is the default)

-l2

Compact layout

-l3

Uncompact layout

-N

All the VT characters are removed from the comment text. All the HT characters are expanded with the sequences of space characters to get to the next tab stops.

--no-separate-is

Do not place the keyword is on a separate line in a subprogram body in case if the spec occupies more then one line.

--separate-loop-then

Place the keyword loop in FOR and WHILE loop statements and the keyword then in IF statements on a separate line.

--no-separate-loop-then

Do not place the keyword loop in FOR and WHILE loop statements and the keyword then in IF statements on a separate line. This option is incompatible with --separate-loop-then option.

--use-on-new-line

Start each USE clause in a context clause from a separate line.

--separate-stmt-name

Use a separate line for a loop or block statement name, but do not use an extra indentation level for the statement itself.

The -c1 and -c2 switches are incompatible. The -c3 and -c4 switches are compatible with each other and also with -c1 and -c2. The -c0 switch disables all the other comment formatting switches.

The -l1, -l2, and -l3 switches are incompatible.
