 Introduce 'ref_formatting' structure to hold values of pseudo atoms

 Isn't this commit message outdated now that you no longer treat color
 specially and since the terminology is changing from pseudo to
 modifier? Also, isn't the structure now called
 'ref_formatting_state' rather than 'ref_formatting'?

Yes, thanks for pointing it out. will change.

 What is this change about? It doesn't seem to be related to anything
 else in the patch.


In previous versions it was giving a refname not assigned error before usage
error, in the current version, its not needed. will remove.

 The comment says that this is storing formatting state, however, the
 code is actually applying the state. You could move this comment
 down to show_ref_array_item() where formatting state actually gets
 stored. Or you could fix it to talk about applying the state.
 However, now that apply_formatting_state() has a meaningful name, you
 could also drop the comment altogether since it doesn't say much
 beyond what is said already by the function name.


I guess I'll drop the comment thanks :)

 I wonder if this sledge-hammer approach of saving one or two values
 before clearing the entire 'ref_formatting_state' and then restoring
 the saved values will scale well. Would it be better for this to just
 individually reset the fields which need resetting and not touch those
 that don't?

 Also, the fact that quote_style has to be handled specially may be an
 indication that it doesn't belong in this structure grouped with the
 other modifiers or that you need better classification within the
 structure. For instance:

 struct ref_formatting_state {
 struct global {
 int quote_style;
 };
 struct local {
 int pad_right;
 };

 where 'local' state gets reset by reset_formatting_state(), and
 'global' is left alone.

 That's just one idea, not necessarily a proposal, but is something to
 think about since the current arrangement is kind of yucky.


Did you read Junio's suggestion about not having a reset_formatting_state()
and rather just have each state be responsible of resetting itself.

I think thats seems to be a better approach.

 +   memset(state, 0, sizeof(state));

 It's a little bit ugly to use memset() here when you have
 reset_formatting_state() available. You could set quote_style first,
 and then call reset_formatting_state() rather than memset(). Or,
 perhaps, change reset_formatting_state(), as described above, to stop
 using the sledge-hammer approach.


I guess even this would be taken care of by implementing Junio's suggestion.

Hmm, something like what we did in version 5  I guess.

 And with that arrangement, together with calling emit() with
 formatting state, %(color:blue) can be handled as a normal part of
 the formatting state mechanism.  The pseudo/modifier atom should
 update the state to Start printing in blue, and either emit() or
 print_value(), whichever is called first, would notice that state,
 does what was requested, and flip that bit down (because we are
 already printing in blue so the next output function does not have
 to do the blue thing again).

This makes sense, will work on this thanks :)

Good point. This would also reduce the risk of forgetting to reset, as
use and reset would be next to each other in the code.

Ah, I hate making grammatical errors, Even though I check it always gets away.
Anyways waiting for Junio and others to reply on this version. Could do a resend

If you took all my remarks into account, I think it's worth a resend as
it should make it easier for new reviewers.

I'm the one who suggested these 3 lines. I wrote them this way with the
assumption that there would only be 1 field to keep, and thet the rest
of the series was going to add more fields to reset (currently true I
think), to avoid the risk of forgetting one value to reset.

I'm fine with the other way around too.
