1 # History 2 3 This is NetBSD indent. It originally came from the University of Illinois via 4 some distribution tape for PDP-11 Unix. It has subsequently been hacked upon 5 by James Gosling @ CMU. At some point in the 1970s or even 1980s, it was 6 thought to be "the nicest C pretty printer around". Around 1985, further 7 additions to provide "Kernel Normal Form" were contributed by the folks at Sun 8 Microsystems. 9 10 Between 2000 and 2019, FreeBSD maintained the code, adding several features. 11 NetBSD imported these changes on 2019-04-04. 12 13 In 2021, indent was updated to handle C99 comments and the code got a major 14 overhaul. Indent got an extensive and systematic test suite, which uncovered 15 many inconsistencies and bugs. Several of these bugs had been introduced by 16 importing the FreeBSD version on 2019-04-04. 17 18 # References 19 20 * https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/tree/main/usr.bin/indent 21 * https://github.com/pstef/freebsd_indent 22
