Code gen should auto indent for scope

Currently if the code is at left margin in code edit view, thats how it appears in generated source.

Problem is that should be INDENT spaces in based on being in function braces.

Code in nested classes should be N x INDENT spaces in based on level N of nesting (when inlined)



bad (assuming no indent hand patched into Code View

void Outer::Func
{
/// USR
some_code;
/// USR
}

good

void Outer::Func
{
/// USR
some_code;
/// USR
}

bad

class Outer
{
class Inner
{
inline void Outer::Inner:::Func
{
/// USR
some_other_code;
/// USR
}


good

class Outer
{
class Inner
{
inline void Outer::Inner:::Func
{
/// USR
some_other_code;
/// USR
}

Code sync/gen should auto normalize (strip off common leading whitespace for non blank lines) so that a subsequent UML to C++ transform will appear at the correct indentation level (e.g no manual leading whitespace maintenance in code blocks should be needed)

    Are you proposing a preference for automatic indentation of a code snippet as soon as the generated source gets loaded? That could actually be a nice solution.

    Is there any way to allow the default behavior to be to show the indented text? The suggested workflow adds several steps that would be required whenever creating/modifying the code of an operation.

    I am not concerened with hiding the indent. The concern is the generated files look ugly, making code review more difficult.

    This is a tricky requirement. When you edit a code snippet using the code view or code editor, and you have performed Load Generated Source, then you are actually editing the generated C++ file. This allows us to provide all the nice features from the CDT editor also in the code view and code editor.

    What we recommend users to do is to do Load Generated Source, and then perform the CDT command Correct Indentation (available in the Source context menu). This makes sure that the code snippet will be correctly indented in generated code. However, it also means that in most cases the code view/editor will show the code snippet indented, which may seem unnecessary, but really is a consequence of that you are editing the generated file, and not just some text string stored in the model.
    Changing the code view/editor so that it hides this indentation is not easy, and also not good in general since there are some lines that will not be indented, typically preprocessor macros.
    Please let us know if you think the workflow proposed above is reasonable for you.
