See src/include/replication/logical.h; the problem there is pretty obvious. For another broken construct, see tupleLockExtraInfo in src/backend/access/heap/heapam.c. Also, see pre_indent and post_indent in src/tools/pgindent/pgindent.

FWIW I looked at GNU indent a year ago or so, and there were a few things about our style that they simply did not have options for. I don't recall the details but my conclusion was that it was a dead end. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
