Bram Moolenaar3577c6f2008-06-24 21:16:56 +0000131. Indenting C style programs *C-indenting*
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +000014
Bram Moolenaar3577c6f2008-06-24 21:16:56 +000015The basics for C style indenting are explained in section |30.2| of the user
16manual.
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +000017
Bram Moolenaar3577c6f2008-06-24 21:16:56 +000018Vim has options for automatically indenting C style program files. Many
19programming languages including Java and C++ follow very closely the
20formatting conventions established with C. These options affect only the
21indent and do not perform other formatting. There are additional options that
22affect other kinds of formatting as well as indenting, see |format-comments|,
23|fo-table|, |gq| and |formatting| for the main ones.
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +000024
25Note that this will not work when the |+smartindent| or |+cindent| features
26have been disabled at compile time.
27
Bram Moolenaar3577c6f2008-06-24 21:16:56 +000028There are in fact four main methods available for indentation, each one
29overrides the previous if it is enabled, or non-empty for 'indentexpr':
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +000030'autoindent' uses the indent from the previous line.
31'smartindent' is like 'autoindent' but also recognizes some C syntax to
32 increase/reduce the indent where appropriate.
33'cindent' Works more cleverly than the other two and is configurable to
34 different indenting styles.
35'indentexpr' The most flexible of all: Evaluates an expression to compute
36 the indent of a line. When non-empty this method overrides
37 the other ones. See |indent-expression|.
38The rest of this section describes the 'cindent' option.
39
40Note that 'cindent' indenting does not work for every code scenario. Vim
Bram Moolenaar9e54a0e2006-04-14 20:42:25 +000041is not a C compiler: it does not recognize all syntax. One requirement is
42that toplevel functions have a '{' in the first column. Otherwise they are
43easily confused with declarations.
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +000044
45These four options control C program indenting:
46'cindent' Enables Vim to perform C program indenting automatically.
47'cinkeys' Specifies which keys trigger reindenting in insert mode.
48'cinoptions' Sets your preferred indent style.
49'cinwords' Defines keywords that start an extra indent in the next line.
50
51If 'lisp' is not on and 'equalprg' is empty, the "=" operator indents using
52Vim's built-in algorithm rather than calling an external program.
53
54See |autocommand| for how to set the 'cindent' option automatically for C code
55files and reset it for others.
56
57 *cinkeys-format* *indentkeys-format*
58The 'cinkeys' option is a string that controls Vim's indenting in response to
59typing certain characters or commands in certain contexts. Note that this not
60only triggers C-indenting. When 'indentexpr' is not empty 'indentkeys' is
61used instead. The format of 'cinkeys' and 'indentkeys' is equal.
62
Bram Moolenaarce655742019-01-31 14:12:57 +010063The default is "0{,0},0),0],:,0#,!^F,o,O,e" which specifies that indenting
64occurs as follows:
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +000065
66 "0{" if you type '{' as the first character in a line
67 "0}" if you type '}' as the first character in a line
68 "0)" if you type ')' as the first character in a line
Bram Moolenaarce655742019-01-31 14:12:57 +010069 "0]" if you type ']' as the first character in a line
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +000070 ":" if you type ':' after a label or case statement
71 "0#" if you type '#' as the first character in a line
72 "!^F" if you type CTRL-F (which is not inserted)
73 "o" if you type a <CR> anywhere or use the "o" command (not in
74 insert mode!)
75 "O" if you use the "O" command (not in insert mode!)
76 "e" if you type the second 'e' for an "else" at the start of a
77 line
78
Bram Moolenaare2f98b92006-03-29 21:18:24 +000079Characters that can precede each key: *i_CTRL-F*
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +000080! When a '!' precedes the key, Vim will not insert the key but will
81 instead reindent the current line. This allows you to define a
82 command key for reindenting the current line. CTRL-F is the default
83 key for this. Be careful if you define CTRL-I for this because CTRL-I
84 is the ASCII code for <Tab>.
85* When a '*' precedes the key, Vim will reindent the line before
86 inserting the key. If 'cinkeys' contains "*<Return>", Vim reindents
87 the current line before opening a new line.
880 When a zero precedes the key (but appears after '!' or '*') Vim will
89 reindent the line only if the key is the first character you type in
90 the line. When used before "=" Vim will only reindent the line if
91 there is only white space before the word.
92
93When neither '!' nor '*' precedes the key, Vim reindents the line after you
94type the key. So ';' sets the indentation of a line which includes the ';'.
95
96Special key names:
97<> Angle brackets mean spelled-out names of keys. For example: "<Up>",
98 "<Ins>" (see |key-notation|).
99^ Letters preceded by a caret (^) are control characters. For example:
100 "^F" is CTRL-F.
101o Reindent a line when you use the "o" command or when Vim opens a new
102 line below the current one (e.g., when you type <Enter> in insert
103 mode).
104O Reindent a line when you use the "O" command.
105e Reindent a line that starts with "else" when you type the second 'e'.
106: Reindent a line when a ':' is typed which is after a label or case
107 statement. Don't reindent for a ":" in "class::method" for C++. To
108 Reindent for any ":", use "<:>".
109=word Reindent when typing the last character of "word". "word" may
110 actually be part of another word. Thus "=end" would cause reindenting
111 when typing the "d" in "endif" or "endwhile". But not when typing
112 "bend". Also reindent when completion produces a word that starts
113 with "word". "0=word" reindents when there is only white space before
114 the word.
115=~word Like =word, but ignore case.
116
117If you really want to reindent when you type 'o', 'O', 'e', '0', '<', '>',
118'*', ':' or '!', use "<o>", "<O>", "<e>", "<0>", "<<>", "<>>", "<*>", "<:>" or
119"<!>", respectively, for those keys.
120
121For an emacs-style indent mode where lines aren't indented every time you
Bram Moolenaar5c3e56a2007-05-12 13:43:14 +0000122press <Enter> but only if you press <Tab>, I suggest:
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000123 :set cinkeys=0{,0},:,0#,!<Tab>,!^F
124You might also want to switch off 'autoindent' then.
125
126Note: If you change the current line's indentation manually, Vim ignores the
127cindent settings for that line. This prevents vim from reindenting after you
128have changed the indent by typing <BS>, <Tab>, or <Space> in the indent or
129used CTRL-T or CTRL-D.
130
131 *cinoptions-values*
Bram Moolenaared38b0a2011-05-25 15:16:18 +0200132The 'cinoptions' option sets how Vim performs indentation. The value after
133the option character can be one of these (N is any number):
134 N indent N spaces
135 -N indent N spaces to the left
Bram Moolenaar5302d9e2011-09-14 17:55:08 +0200136 Ns N times 'shiftwidth' spaces
137 -Ns N times 'shiftwidth' spaces to the left
Bram Moolenaared38b0a2011-05-25 15:16:18 +0200138
139In the list below,
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000140"N" represents a number of your choice (the number can be negative). When
141there is an 's' after the number, Vim multiplies the number by 'shiftwidth':
142"1s" is 'shiftwidth', "2s" is two times 'shiftwidth', etc. You can use a
Bram Moolenaared38b0a2011-05-25 15:16:18 +0200143decimal point, too: "-0.5s" is minus half a 'shiftwidth'.
144The examples below assume a 'shiftwidth' of 4.
145 *cino->*
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000146 >N Amount added for "normal" indent. Used after a line that should
147 increase the indent (lines starting with "if", an opening brace,
148 etc.). (default 'shiftwidth').

607
608Clojure indentation differs somewhat from traditional Lisps, due in part to
609the use of square and curly brackets, and otherwise by community convention.
Bram Moolenaarbaca7f72013-09-22 14:42:24 +0200610These conventions are not universally followed, so the Clojure indent script
Bram Moolenaar113cb512021-11-07 20:27:04 +0000611offers a few configuration options.
Bram Moolenaarfa13eef2013-02-06 17:34:04 +0100612
Bram Moolenaar113cb512021-11-07 20:27:04 +0000613(If the current Vim does not include |searchpairpos()|, the indent script falls
614back to normal 'lisp' indenting, and the following options are ignored.)
615
Bram Moolenaarfa13eef2013-02-06 17:34:04 +0100616
617 *g:clojure_maxlines*
618
Bram Moolenaar113cb512021-11-07 20:27:04 +0000619Sets maximum scan distance of `searchpairpos()`. Larger values trade
620performance for correctness when dealing with very long forms. A value of
6210 will scan without limits. The default is 300.
622
623
Bram Moolenaarfa13eef2013-02-06 17:34:04 +0100624 *g:clojure_fuzzy_indent*
625 *g:clojure_fuzzy_indent_patterns*
626 *g:clojure_fuzzy_indent_blacklist*
627
628The 'lispwords' option is a list of comma-separated words that mark special
Bram Moolenaar113cb512021-11-07 20:27:04 +0000629forms whose subforms should be indented with two spaces.
Bram Moolenaarfa13eef2013-02-06 17:34:04 +0100630
631For example:
632>
633 (defn bad []
634 "Incorrect indentation")
635
636 (defn good []
637 "Correct indentation")
638<
639If you would like to specify 'lispwords' with a |pattern| instead, you can use
640the fuzzy indent feature:
641>
642 " Default
643 let g:clojure_fuzzy_indent = 1
644 let g:clojure_fuzzy_indent_patterns = ['^with', '^def', '^let']
645 let g:clojure_fuzzy_indent_blacklist =
646 \ ['-fn$', '\v^with-%(meta|out-str|loading-context)$']
Bram Moolenaarfa13eef2013-02-06 17:34:04 +0100647<
648|g:clojure_fuzzy_indent_patterns| and |g:clojure_fuzzy_indent_blacklist| are
Bram Moolenaar113cb512021-11-07 20:27:04 +0000649lists of patterns that will be matched against the unqualified symbol at the
650head of a list. This means that a pattern like `"^foo"` will match all these
651candidates: `foobar`, `my.ns/foobar`, and `#'foobar`.
Bram Moolenaarfa13eef2013-02-06 17:34:04 +0100652
653Each candidate word is tested for special treatment in this order:
654
655 1. Return true if word is literally in 'lispwords'
656 2. Return false if word matches a pattern in
657 |g:clojure_fuzzy_indent_blacklist|
658 3. Return true if word matches a pattern in
659 |g:clojure_fuzzy_indent_patterns|
660 4. Return false and indent normally otherwise
661
Bram Moolenaar113cb512021-11-07 20:27:04 +0000662
Bram Moolenaarfa13eef2013-02-06 17:34:04 +0100663 *g:clojure_special_indent_words*
664
Bram Moolenaar113cb512021-11-07 20:27:04 +0000665Some forms in Clojure are indented such that every subform is indented by only
666two spaces, regardless of 'lispwords'. If you have a custom construct that
667should be indented in this idiosyncratic fashion, you can add your symbols to
668the default list below.
Bram Moolenaarfa13eef2013-02-06 17:34:04 +0100669>
670 " Default
671 let g:clojure_special_indent_words =

Bram Moolenaarfa13eef2013-02-06 17:34:04 +0100678quote, instead of the same column.
679
680For example:
681>
682 (def default
683 "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do
684 eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut
685 enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris

687
688 (def aligned
689 "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do
690 eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut
691 enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris

Bram Moolenaar438f67a2014-01-07 06:09:28 +0100695 *g:clojure_align_subforms*
696
697By default, parenthesized compound forms that look like function calls and
698whose head subform is on its own line have subsequent subforms indented by
699two spaces relative to the opening paren:
700>
701 (foo
702 bar
703 baz)
704<
Bram Moolenaar113cb512021-11-07 20:27:04 +0000705Setting this option to `1` changes this behaviour so that all subforms are
706aligned to the same column, emulating the default behaviour of
707clojure-mode.el:
Bram Moolenaar438f67a2014-01-07 06:09:28 +0100708>

Bram Moolenaar251e1912011-06-19 05:09:16 +0200716Block if, select case, where, and forall constructs are indented. So are
717type, interface, associate, block, and enum constructs. The indenting of
718subroutines, functions, modules, and program blocks is optional. Comments,
719labelled statements and continuation lines are indented if the Fortran is in
720free source form, whereas they are not indented if the Fortran is in fixed
721source form because of the left margin requirements. Hence manual indent
722corrections will be necessary for labelled statements and continuation lines
723when fixed source form is being used. For further discussion of the method
724used for the detection of source format see |ft-fortran-syntax|.

726Do loops ~
Bram Moolenaar402d2fe2005-04-15 21:00:38 +0000727All do loops are left unindented by default. Do loops can be unstructured in
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000728Fortran with (possibly multiple) loops ending on a labelled executable
Bram Moolenaar402d2fe2005-04-15 21:00:38 +0000729statement of almost arbitrary type. Correct indentation requires
730compiler-quality parsing. Old code with do loops ending on labelled statements
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000731of arbitrary type can be indented with elaborate programs such as Tidy
Bram Moolenaar402d2fe2005-04-15 21:00:38 +0000732(http://www.unb.ca/chem/ajit/f_tidy.htm). Structured do/continue loops are
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000733also left unindented because continue statements are also used for purposes
Bram Moolenaar402d2fe2005-04-15 21:00:38 +0000734other than ending a do loop. Programs such as Tidy can convert structured
735do/continue loops to the do/enddo form. Do loops of the do/enddo variety can
736be indented. If you use only structured loops of the do/enddo form, you should
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000737declare this by setting the fortran_do_enddo variable in your .vimrc as
738follows >
739
740 let fortran_do_enddo=1
741
Bram Moolenaar402d2fe2005-04-15 21:00:38 +0000742in which case do loops will be indented. If all your loops are of do/enddo
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000743type only in, say, .f90 files, then you should set a buffer flag with an
744autocommand such as >
745
746 au! BufRead,BufNewFile *.f90 let b:fortran_do_enddo=1
747
748to get do loops indented in .f90 files and left alone in Fortran files with
749other extensions such as .for.
750
Bram Moolenaar251e1912011-06-19 05:09:16 +0200751Program units ~
752The indenting of program units (subroutines, functions, modules, and program
753blocks) is enabled by default but can be suppressed if a lighter, screen-width
754preserving indent style is desired. To suppress the indenting of program
755units for all fortran files set the global fortran_indent_less variable in
756your .vimrc as follows >
757
758 let fortran_indent_less=1
759
760A finer level of suppression can be achieved by setting the corresponding
761buffer-local variable as follows >
762
763 let b:fortran_indent_less=1
764

Bram Moolenaarec7944a2013-06-12 21:29:15 +0200766HTML *ft-html-indent* *html-indent* *html-indenting*
767
768This is about variables you can set in your vimrc to customize HTML indenting.
769
770You can set the indent for the first line after <script> and <style>
771"blocktags" (default "zero"): >
772
773 :let g:html_indent_script1 = "inc"
774 :let g:html_indent_style1 = "inc"
775<
776 VALUE MEANING ~
777 "zero" zero indent
778 "auto" auto indent (same indent as the blocktag)
779 "inc" auto indent + one indent step
780
781Many tags increase the indent for what follows per default (see "Add Indent
Bram Moolenaar52b91d82013-06-15 21:39:51 +0200782Tags" in the script). You can add further tags with: >
Bram Moolenaarec7944a2013-06-12 21:29:15 +0200783
784 :let g:html_indent_inctags = "html,body,head,tbody"
785
786You can also remove such tags with: >
787
788 :let g:html_indent_autotags = "th,td,tr,tfoot,thead"
789
790Default value is empty for both variables. Note: the initial "inctags" are
791only defined once per Vim session.
792
793User variables are only read when the script is sourced. To enable your
Bram Moolenaar52b91d82013-06-15 21:39:51 +0200794changes during a session, without reloading the HTML file, you can manually

821
822NOTE: PHP files will be indented correctly only if PHP |syntax| is active.
823
824If you are editing a file in Unix 'fileformat' and '\r' characters are present
825before new lines, indentation won't proceed correctly ; you have to remove
826those useless characters first with a command like: >
827
828 :%s /\r$//g
829
830Or, you can simply |:let| the variable PHP_removeCRwhenUnix to 1 and the
Bram Moolenaare6ae6222013-05-21 21:01:10 +0200831script will silently remove them when Vim loads a PHP file (at each |BufRead|).

833OPTIONS: ~
834
835PHP indenting can be altered in several ways by modifying the values of some
Bram Moolenaare6ae6222013-05-21 21:01:10 +0200836global variables:
Bram Moolenaarc236c162008-07-13 17:41:49 +0000837
Bram Moolenaarbcb98982014-05-01 14:08:19 +0200838 *php-comment* *PHP_autoformatcomment*
Bram Moolenaar088e8e32019-08-08 22:15:18 +0200839To not enable auto-formatting of comments by default (if you want to use your
Bram Moolenaarc236c162008-07-13 17:41:49 +0000840own 'formatoptions'): >
841 :let g:PHP_autoformatcomment = 0
842
843Else, 't' will be removed from the 'formatoptions' string and "qrowcb" will be
Bram Moolenaare6ae6222013-05-21 21:01:10 +0200844added, see |fo-table| for more information.
Bram Moolenaarc236c162008-07-13 17:41:49 +0000845-------------
846
Bram Moolenaarbcb98982014-05-01 14:08:19 +0200847 *PHP_outdentSLComments*
Bram Moolenaare6ae6222013-05-21 21:01:10 +0200848To add extra indentation to single-line comments: >
849 :let g:PHP_outdentSLComments = N
850
851With N being the number of 'shiftwidth' to add.
852
853Only single-line comments will be affected such as: >
854 # Comment
855 // Comment
856 /* Comment */
857-------------
858
Bram Moolenaarbcb98982014-05-01 14:08:19 +0200859 *PHP_default_indenting*
Bram Moolenaare6ae6222013-05-21 21:01:10 +0200860To add extra indentation to every PHP lines with N being the number of
Bram Moolenaarc236c162008-07-13 17:41:49 +0000861'shiftwidth' to add: >
862 :let g:PHP_default_indenting = N
863
864For example, with N = 1, this will give:
865>
866 <?php
867 if (!isset($History_lst_sel))
868 if (!isset($History_lst_sel))
869 if (!isset($History_lst_sel)) {
870 $History_lst_sel=0;
871 } else
872 $foo="bar";
873
874 $command_hist = TRUE;
875 ?>
Bram Moolenaare6ae6222013-05-21 21:01:10 +0200876(Notice the extra indentation between the PHP container markers and the code)
Bram Moolenaarc236c162008-07-13 17:41:49 +0000877-------------
878
Bram Moolenaarbcb98982014-05-01 14:08:19 +0200879 *PHP_outdentphpescape*
880To indent PHP escape tags as the surrounding non-PHP code (only affects the
881PHP escape tags): >
Bram Moolenaar2f0936c2022-01-08 21:51:59 +0000882 :let g:PHP_outdentphpescape = 0
Bram Moolenaar8408a9a2010-07-30 22:41:22 +0200883-------------
884
Bram Moolenaarbcb98982014-05-01 14:08:19 +0200885 *PHP_removeCRwhenUnix*
Bram Moolenaarc236c162008-07-13 17:41:49 +0000886To automatically remove '\r' characters when the 'fileformat' is set to Unix: >
887 :let g:PHP_removeCRwhenUnix = 1
888-------------
889
Bram Moolenaarbcb98982014-05-01 14:08:19 +0200890 *PHP_BracesAtCodeLevel*
Bram Moolenaarc236c162008-07-13 17:41:49 +0000891To indent braces at the same level than the code they contain: >
892 :let g:PHP_BracesAtCodeLevel = 1
Bram Moolenaar664f3cf2019-12-07 16:03:51 +0100893
Bram Moolenaarc236c162008-07-13 17:41:49 +0000894This will give the following result: >
895 if ($foo)
896 {
897 foo();
898 }
899Instead of: >
900 if ($foo)
901 {
902 foo();
903 }
904
905NOTE: Indenting will be a bit slower if this option is used because some
906 optimizations won't be available.

908
Bram Moolenaar54775062019-07-31 21:07:14 +0200909 *PHP_vintage_case_default_indent*
Bram Moolenaarc236c162008-07-13 17:41:49 +0000910To indent 'case:' and 'default:' statements in switch() blocks: >
911 :let g:PHP_vintage_case_default_indent = 1
912
Bram Moolenaare6ae6222013-05-21 21:01:10 +0200913In PHP braces are not required inside 'case/default' blocks therefore 'case:'
914and 'default:' are indented at the same level than the 'switch()' to avoid
915meaningless indentation. You can use the above option to return to the
916traditional way.
Bram Moolenaar0b0f0992018-05-22 21:41:30 +0200917-------------
918
919 *PHP_noArrowMatching*
920By default the indent script will indent multi-line chained calls by matching
921the position of the '->': >
922
923 $user_name_very_long->name()
924 ->age()
925 ->info();
926
927You can revert to the classic way of indenting by setting this option to 1: >
928 :let g:PHP_noArrowMatching = 1
929
930You will obtain the following result: >
931
932 $user_name_very_long->name()
933 ->age()
934 ->info();

Bram Moolenaare7b1ea02020-08-07 19:54:59 +0200988The method uses |searchpair()| to look back for unclosed parentheses. This
Bram Moolenaarf0d58ef2018-11-16 16:13:44 +0100989can sometimes be slow, thus it timeouts after 150 msec. If you notice the
Bram Moolenaar2c64ca12018-10-19 16:22:31 +0200990indenting isn't correct, you can set a larger timeout in msec: >
991 let g:pyindent_searchpair_timeout = 500
992
Bram Moolenaarf6b40102019-02-22 15:24:03 +0100993If looking back for unclosed parenthesis is still too slow, especially during
994a copy-paste operation, or if you don't need indenting inside multi-line

1004 let r_indent_align_args = 0
1005<
1006All lines beginning with a comment character, #, get the same indentation
1007level of the normal R code. Users of Emacs/ESS may be used to have lines
1008beginning with a single # indented in the 40th column, ## indented as R code,
1009and ### not indented. If you prefer that lines beginning with comment
1010characters are aligned as they are by Emacs/ESS, put in your |vimrc|:
1011>
1012 let r_indent_ess_comments = 1
1013<
1014If you prefer that lines beginning with a single # are aligned at a column
1015different from the 40th one, you should set a new value to the variable
1016r_indent_comment_column, as in the example below:
1017>
1018 let r_indent_comment_column = 30
1019<
1020Any code after a line that ends with "<-" is indented. Emacs/ESS does not
1021indent the code if it is a top level function. If you prefer that the
1022Vim-R-plugin behaves like Emacs/ESS in this regard, put in your |vimrc|:
1023>
1024 let r_indent_ess_compatible = 1

Bram Moolenaarfc65cab2018-08-28 22:58:02 +02001035The code will be indented after lines that match the pattern
1036`'\(&\||\|+\|-\|\*\|/\|=\|\~\|%\|->\)\s*$'`. If you want indentation after
1037lines that match a different pattern, you should set the appropriate value of

1066General block statements such as if, for, case, always, initial, function,
1067specify and begin, etc., are indented. The module block statements (first
1068level blocks) are not indented by default. you can turn on the indent with
1069setting a variable in the .vimrc as follows: >
1070
1071 let b:verilog_indent_modules = 1
1072
1073then the module blocks will be indented. To stop this, remove the variable: >
1074
1075 :unlet b:verilog_indent_modules
1076
1077To set the variable only for Verilog file. The following statements can be
1078used: >

Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +00001091
1092In addition, you can turn the verbose mode for debug issue: >

1101Alignment of generic/port mapping statements are performed by default. This
1102causes the following alignment example: >
1103
1104 ENTITY sync IS
1105 PORT (
1106 clk : IN STD_LOGIC;
1107 reset_n : IN STD_LOGIC;
1108 data_input : IN STD_LOGIC;
1109 data_out : OUT STD_LOGIC
1110 );
1111 END ENTITY sync;
1112
1113To turn this off, add >
1114
1115 let g:vhdl_indent_genportmap = 0
1116
1117to the .vimrc file, which causes the previous alignment example to change: >
1118
1119 ENTITY sync IS
1120 PORT (
1121 clk : IN STD_LOGIC;
1122 reset_n : IN STD_LOGIC;
1123 data_input : IN STD_LOGIC;
1124 data_out : OUT STD_LOGIC
1125 );
1126 END ENTITY sync;
1127
1128----------------------------------------
1129
1130Alignment of right-hand side assignment "<=" statements are performed by
1131default. This causes the following alignment example: >
1132
1133 sig_out <= (bus_a(1) AND
1134 (sig_b OR sig_c)) OR
1135 (bus_a(0) AND sig_d);
1136
1137To turn this off, add >
1138
1139 let g:vhdl_indent_rhsassign = 0
1140
1141to the .vimrc file, which causes the previous alignment example to change: >
1142
1143 sig_out <= (bus_a(1) AND
1144 (sig_b OR sig_c)) OR
1145 (bus_a(0) AND sig_d);
1146
1147----------------------------------------
1148
1149Full-line comments (lines that begin with "--") are indented to be aligned with
1150the very previous line's comment, PROVIDED that a whitespace follows after
1151"--".
1152
1153For example: >
1154
1155 sig_a <= sig_b; -- start of a comment
1156 -- continuation of the comment
1157 -- more of the same comment
1158
1159While in Insert mode, after typing "-- " (note the space " "), hitting CTRL-F
1160will align the current "-- " with the previous line's "--".
1161
1162If the very previous line does not contain "--", THEN the full-line comment
1163will be aligned with the start of the next non-blank line that is NOT a
1164full-line comment.
1165
1166Indenting the following code: >
1167
1168 sig_c <= sig_d; -- comment 0
1169 -- comment 1
1170 -- comment 2
1171 --debug_code:
1172 --PROCESS(debug_in)
1173 --BEGIN
1174 -- FOR i IN 15 DOWNTO 0 LOOP
1175 -- debug_out(8*i+7 DOWNTO 8*i) <= debug_in(15-i);
1176 -- END LOOP;
1177 --END PROCESS debug_code;
1178
1179 -- comment 3
1180 sig_e <= sig_f; -- comment 4
1181 -- comment 5
1182
1183results in: >
1184
1185 sig_c <= sig_d; -- comment 0
1186 -- comment 1
1187 -- comment 2
1188 --debug_code:
1189 --PROCESS(debug_in)
1190 --BEGIN
1191 -- FOR i IN 15 DOWNTO 0 LOOP
1192 -- debug_out(8*i+7 DOWNTO 8*i) <= debug_in(15-i);
1193 -- END LOOP;
1194 --END PROCESS debug_code;
1195
1196 -- comment 3
1197 sig_e <= sig_f; -- comment 4
1198 -- comment 5
1199
1200Notice that "--debug_code:" does not align with "-- comment 2"
1201because there is no whitespace that follows after "--" in "--debug_code:".
1202
1203Given the dynamic nature of indenting comments, indenting should be done TWICE.
1204On the first pass, code will be indented. On the second pass, full-line
1205comments will be indented according to the correctly indented code.

Bram Moolenaard4755bb2004-09-02 19:12:26 +00001210For indenting Vim scripts there is one variable that specifies the amount of
1211indent for a continuation line, a line that starts with a backslash: >
1212
Bram Moolenaarf0d58ef2018-11-16 16:13:44 +01001213 :let g:vim_indent_cont = shiftwidth() * 3
Bram Moolenaard4755bb2004-09-02 19:12:26 +00001214
1215Three times shiftwidth is the default value.
