Subject: Bug#227863: indent: '-brs' has side-effect

Package: indent
Version: 2.2.9-5
Severity: normal


I tried option '-brs' on this:

-------------------------
struct teszt_s
{
  int teszt;
}
teszt_t;
-------------------------

and resulted this:

-------------------------
struct teszt_s {
  int teszt;
} teszt_t;
-------------------------

Putting teszt_t in the line of '}' is clearly a side effect, which is
not described in the documentation. However option '-bls' does not have
the reverse side effect, it simply does not touch that line. This means
that one of these options is buggy. I vote that '-brs' is the buggy one.
I think it would be better solution to have another option for this then
to include this side-effect in '-bls'.

Thanks,
                                         Miklos Danko, M.D.
