current version used

• Currently we still use version 0.56.

our own installer for Windows

it is easier to have an installer for Windows, instead of the zip file provided by the uncrustify project.

• download from http://sourceforge.net/projects/openpetraorg/files/openpetraorg/Tools/Uncrustify-Setup-0.56.exe/download

• the sources for the installer are at https://github.com/openpetra/openpetra/tree/master/setup/tools/uncrustify

• usually we use the zip file released for Windows by the uncrustify project, from https://sourceforge.net/projects/uncrustify/files/

build installer from git master

• see https://github.com/uncrustify/uncrustify/blob/master/make_win32.sh
• need a Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit virtual machine

apt-get install mingw-w64 git automake g++ make zip python
git clone https://github.com/uncrustify/uncrustify.git
cd uncrustify
chmod a+x *.sh
./make_win32.sh

Result in: /root/release/uncrustify-0.62.92-g5c059c9-dirty-win32.zip

Debugging uncrustify and adding tests

For C# 6 support we noticed that even version 0.62 did not support all new C# 6 features. see https://sourceforge.net/p/uncrustify/bugs/672/ for details.

On Linux, I cloned the git master of uncrustify, to see if those issues had already been fixed there.

git clone https://github.com/uncrustify/uncrustify.git
cd uncrustify
./autogen.sh
./configure
make

To run the tests:

./run_tests.sh c-sharp

You can add new tests with these steps:

• add an input file to https://github.com/uncrustify/uncrustify/tree/master/tests/input/cs
• add an expected output file to https://github.com/uncrustify/uncrustify/tree/master/tests/output/cs
• add the test in https://github.com/uncrustify/uncrustify/blob/master/tests/c-sharp.test

You can change the log_level to 7 in https://github.com/uncrustify/uncrustify/blob/master/tests/run_tests.py#L84 so that you see the difference of the result of uncrustify compared to your expected output, if the test fails.

If uncrustify has an exception, you only get message like this:

RUN: /home/timotheusp/dev/uncrustify.tpokorra/src/uncrustify -q -c config/ben.cfg -f input/cs/exception-filters.cs  > results/cs/10160-exception-filters.cs
FAILED: 10160

Then you should run this on the commandline, but without the -q:

cd tests
/home/timotheusp/dev/uncrustify.tpokorra/src/uncrustify -c config/ben.cfg -f input/cs/exception-filters.cs  > results/cs/10160-exception-filters.cs
