Indent 2.2.9 : Suggested Option 1: To Specify a Regex Which Will Be Ignored by Indent and Left As-Is 2: Bug? blank line before comments add blank line at line 1

Thanks for Indent 2.2.9

 

1: Suggested Option To Specify a Regex Which Will Be Ignored by Indent
and Left As-Is

 

Reason: I develop microprocessor code in C for embedded systems and the
compiler I use supports binary constant declarations as well as
hexadecimal declarations. The pattern 0b00010101 is equivalent to 0x15
but Indent mangles the 0b00010101 and similar text. I don't expect
Indent to be able to handle non-standard C and, instead, would like to
see an ignore regex option that I could use as shown below.

 

For example, the ignore regex option for this pattern could look like
-ign0b[01]+ where the text -ign specifies the ignore-regex option and
any following white space is treated as a regex. In this case, if I am
not mistaken, it specifies a string starting with the non-optional
characters 0 and b followed by any number of 1s and 0s.

 

2: Bug? The blank line before comment option adds a blank line at line 1
if there is a comment block at the head of a file.
