I'm looking for a tool that works on Windows to reformat some C++ code in my codebase. Essentially, I've got some code I wrote a while ago that I'd like to use, but it doesn't match the style I'm using in a more recent project.

What's the best way to reformat C++ code in a standard manner?

GNU Indent should get you most of the way there

In Visual Studio: Edit / Advanced / Format Document

The format applied to the document will match the settings in: Tools / Options / Text Editor / C/C++

Visual Studio might not support all the formatting options you want applied to your document, in which case you'll need a separate tool (such as Paul Betts is suggesting) to format the way you want.

Astyle is one of the more popular tools.

Edit: I don't know why I didn't think about it when I first posted this, but you can also use Vim. The = command will reformat your code according to your indentexpr and cinoptions.

I vote for Uncrustify.

Otherwise: Best C++ Code Formatter/Beautifier

GC Great Code has been an old standby for me. It's quite configurable.

Visual Studio can. And most IDEs can.

I have also used AStyle in the past. I used this GUI for it to make it a bit easier (I think--it's been a while): Artistic Style for Windows: http://jimp03.zxq.net/

Eclipse/CDT can indent your code very well...

• Its configurable.
• You can also share the settings within your team/group/organization.

P.S. I am writing something about that in my Book Post comment if you have some direct questions. :-)

use AStyle ( inbuilt in codeblocks )

Step 1 : Select your code
Step 2 : Click on Plugins->Source Code Format (AStyle )

Hope it helps.
