Tracking is used to put some marks within a copy of the source and
in the log file. uncrustify generate a HTML file with the marks.
Using a browser, one can see where, which options are working.
The command option is:
uncrustify --tracking space:Track.html -c config-FILE -f source-FILE -L A 2>A.txt
uncrustify --tracking nl:Track.html -c config-FILE -f source-FILE -L A 2>A.txt
uncrustify --tracking start:Track.html -c config-FILE -f source-FILE -L A 2>A.txt
Tracking puts a red "M" in the source to show where the options are working.
A tracking number is used and written in the Track.html file and the output file A.txt
to make possible to link the changes together.
An example:
tracking.cpp
{
a = b + 111-55;
}
The config file:
indent_with_tabs = 0
sp_arith = force
sp_assign = force
The tracking file is:
Uncrustify: where do the Spaces options work
{
aM=M<
/a>bM+M<
/font>111M-M55M;
}
Use it with a browser and you can see the red "M"s.
Let put the cursor on the "M"s, and you see the tracking number and the option used.
