Hi,

I am wondering if there's any C src format that can change something
like

if (something)
if(something)
stmt1;
else
stmt2;
else
stmt3;

into

if (something){
if(something){
stmt1;
}
else{
stmt2;
}
}
else{
stmt3;
}

I've looked at several ones such as astyle and gnu indent but they
can't seem to do this. astyle can put brackets {} if but only 1
line
e.g.,

if (isFoo)
isFoo = false;
becomes:

if (isFoo) {
isFoo = false;
}

The tool TXL would be make it pretty easy to do this. See http://txl.ca

Since there is no central moderation team for this newsgroup, it has to
be moderated by /all/ its subscribers. Every time you killfile someone,
you are in some small way moderating the group (as seen through your
newsreader).

Check the cross-posting: comp.lang.c.moderated is moderated, odd as that
might seem ;-). I have no idea how the details are handled, but I gather
that if you cross-post to one or more moderated newsgroups, the
moderators from each of those groups must approve it before it becomes
available to the general public.

Notice the "comp.lang.c.moderated" on the Newsgroups line. That is, as
one would expect from the name, a moderated group.
