RADProgrammer Style Guide Alignment

Settings for: Alignment

Alignment cases

• Align = in constants: False

  // "False" example (Default)

  const
    Foo = 0;
    FooBar = 128;

• Align = in initializations: False

  // "False" example (Default)

  var
    Foo:Integer = 0;
    FooBar:Integer = 128;

• Align = in type declarations: False

  // "False" example (Default)

  type
    TFoo = set of 1..100;
    TFooBar = set of 1..250;

• Align := assignment operators: False

  // "False" example (Default)

  Foo := 0;
  FooBar := 121;

• Align end-of-line comments: False Align comments located at the ends of lines

  // "False" example (Default)
  
  o := 1;   //would be aligned at // if true
  p := 2; //would be aligned at // if true
  q := 3;  //would be aligned at // if true
  //not aligned as it starts a line
  ch { not aligned - is not end-of-line comment } := 1;

• Align fields in properties: False
  • Align fields and methods in properties Note: this option works only if the Line breaks in Property declarations option defines that each field is placed on a new line

  // "True" example

  property CustomStrings:Strings
    read   GetCustomStrings
    write  SetCustomStrings
    stored CustomStringsStored;

• Align type names: False
  • Align type names in var sections and records

  // "False" example (Default)

  var
    Foo:Integer = 0;
    FooBar:Integer = 128;

• Align types of parameters: False
  • Note: this option works only if the One parameter per line in function definitions option defines that each parameter is placed on a new line

  // "True" example

  procedure CallMe(
    Foo:    Integer;
    FooBar: Integer);

General

• Align : before type names: False

  • Defines whether to align colons : before type names. This option modifies the Align types of parameters, Align type names, and Align '=' in initializations options.

  True - align colons together with types False - align only type names (Default)

  // "True" example
  var
    Foo    : Integer;
    FooBar : Integer;

• Alignment maximum column: 60

  • Do not insert alignment blank spaces after the specified column

• Maximum unaligned lines: 0

  • This is the maximum number of consistent unaligned lines of code allowed without ending one alignment block of lines. This option controls how to detect the end of a block of aligned lines. When the value is zero, any unaligned lines (for example, a blank line) ends the block of alignment
