What's you faviourate coding style?

[solotim]

Hi, group,

I'm a developer of veditor project: http://veditor.sourceforge.net/.
Veditor is an open source Eclipse plugin designed for Verilgo/VHDL
programmer. I am curious if there is anybody in this group have known
of this plugin.

Meanwhile, is there anyone like to offer me some infomation about
verilog coding style please? I manage to set some pre-loaded coding
style in Veditor so it can automatically format user's code.

Best regards and thanks.

While I enjoy watching brace wars as much as the next fellow, I think
that having a single consistant style is more important than which
style you choose.

I've been letting "Mac's Verilog Mode" format my code for a while now,
and I've gotten quite used to that style.

PS: I've started using Veditor, and I like it. Thanks for making it.

I use the first style. It is the most compact, lowest number of lines
and least amount of indenting, and the "real" code still stands out
making it readable. I must also add that I wish we could just use
curly braces instead of begin-end.

curly braces instead of begin-end.

I use the third style because I like to see the "begin" and "end"
on their own lines. My major gripe about indenting is editors that
store tabs in the source file instead of converting to spaces. This
invariably leads to totally unjustified output when another person
opens the file with a different tab setting. By the way I'm currently
using Med with my own language settings file for Verilog, but I'm
not 100% happy with any editor. Big pluses for me include column
editing, regular expressions, and keystroke macros. Minuses include
inability to include line ends in search and replace operations.
I'd rather not use an editor with "smart" indenting if it forces
me to use a style I'm not comfortable with. Another indenting point
is separate indenting for `ifdef `else `endif. Many C editors like
to start all preprocessor commands in the left column even if they
are nested. I prefer to use indentation for nested preprocessor
commands as well. You'll never get everyone to agree on what is
"pretty" for source code editing, but having one automatic style
would be useful as long as I can turn it off.

Good Luck,
Gabor

Thank you all for the reply.
After reading your opinions, I felt "code style" is a fairly
subjective thing and quite hard to be unified. (Otherwise the
ISO should adopt one )

I don't know "Mac's Verilog Mode" before you mentioned it. Have been
googled, this style is exactly my favoirate, and it accords with the
first style of the "brace war".
Thank you for supporting veditor. I'm just a new member of veditor-
developer
group, so those "thanks" should be owed to Tadashi(main developer) and
others.

me too, although we can do nothing about it.

I agree, so I'm trying to set some pre-load styles from which you can
select one
or none.

Best regards.
