I see that you added the 'syntax-check' for indent in Gnulib. One
minor problem though, it breaks if the user has an ~/.indent.pro. :)
I don't use indent much, so I forgot my repository where I store
dotfiles installs this:
$ cat ~/.indent.pro
--gnu-style
--no-tabs
Here lets check if the code is indented:
$ make sc_indent | wc -l
maint.mk: code format error, try "make indent"
make: *** [maint.mk:1760: sc_indent] Error 1
52751
I was confused for a bit until I saw that file.
$ rm ~/.indent.pro
$ make sc_indent | wc -l
1
Indent has -npro that you can use to ignore the file which might be
good.
Or, consider --no-tabs like I use. That is the flag that causes
issues. See whois/whois.c in Emacs with 'whitespace-mode' for the mix
of tabs and spaces. I won't push my coding style on others any further
though. :)
