ReSharper C++ Settings -> Braces Layout -> "Regular expressions for macros starting a block"

Created August 18, 2022 03:16

Hi, I'm seeking information about ReSharper C++ Settings --> Braces Layout --> "Regular expressions for macros starting a block" (also end block)

Does this refer to C++ macros that RSCPP should recognize to be formatted with braces?

Otherwise, I was wondering if this was some sort of general way to provide some kind of ReSharper macro that would control braces formatting in general.

Thank You

Hello,

These settings were introduced basically in order to support MacroBlockBegin/MacroBlockEnd clang-format options and work in the same way. Consider this example:

#define BLOCK_BEGIN
#define BLOCK_END

void foo()
{
    BLOCK_BEGIN
    int x;
    BLOCK_END
}

Normally "int x;" won't be indented compared to BLOCK_BEGIN, but if you set "Regular expressions for macros starting/ending a block" to BLOCK_BEGIN/BLOCK_END, "int x;" will be indented.
