Fwd: indent help wrt function return types

[Mike Burrell]

Hello! I posted this on gnu.utils.help with no response, and it was  
suggested that I try address@hidden instead. Any help would be  
appreciated. Sorry for the bother :)

Hello all!

I'm trying to come up with GNU Indent options that will get a C  
function with a storage class modifier (namely "static") to come out  
looking like:

static
int
foo(void)
{
        return 5;
}

I thought a simple "-psl" option would handle this, but unfortunately  
with -psl, that looks like:

static
        int
foo(void)
{
        return 5;
}

(if it's not clear, the "int" is indented one level, instead of being  
in the first column). I tried setting -ci0, -cli0, -p0, -d0, -di0,  
etc., trying to get that "int" to not indent, but I can't make it  
happen. For what it's worth, if the function returns a pointer type,  
then it works perfectly, e.g.:

static
int *
foo(void)
{
        return 0;
}

Also, if the function does not have a storage class modifier (i.e.,  
it's not "static"), then this problem doesn't come up.

Can anyone shed some light on what option I need to give indent to  
make the "int" always show up in the first column? Any help would be  
appreciated.

indent --version yields "GNU indent 2.2.9"

Thanks a bunch,
Mike
