I propose that we create a file containing the list of patterns to
exclude from pgindent runs. It would look like this:
#list of file patterns to exclude from pg_indent runs /s_lock\.h$ /ecpg/test/expected/ /snowball/libstemmer/
/ecpg/include/(sqlda|sqltypes)\.h$ /ecpg/include/preproc/struct\.h$ /pl/plperl/ppport\.h$
Then a pgindent run would look like this:
find . -name '*.[ch]' -type f -print | \ egrep -v -f src/tools/pgindent/exclude_files | \ xargs -n100 pgindent
src/tools/pgindent/typedefs.list
which is shorter and more efficient and less error prone than the way it's done in the current instructions (which puts
thepatterns to be excluded in a series of egrep pipes).
Thoughts?
cheers
