Subject: [doc/gdbint] Mention some formatting guidelines for casts and unary operators
Date: Tue, 01 Feb 2011 16:28:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <201102011628.32860.pedro@codesourcery.com> (raw)
This is a follow up to a discussion from last November
<http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-11/msg00121.html>,
that sort of came up today again.
It imports and casts to stone these recommendations (from GCC):
Use... ...instead of
!x ! x
~x ~ x
-x (unary minus) - x
(foo) x (cast) (foo)x
*x (pointer dereference) * x
which we have been largely following already anyway.
Okay?
