Pretty Printed Header Files for cc65

[UNIXcoffee928]

I pretty printed the headers to make them a lot clearer, and to give them a unified appearance, with a common feel.

 

I used both automated & manual methods to attain a very readable set of files. A lot of vertically-oriented stuff was done with "Context", an excellent tabbed programmer's file editor, with vertical cut, copy, & paste, which I recommend highly.

 

I used an end-comment style that is good for files that don't get modified much or for final code, it lends greatly to readability in c programs, since your eyes aren't scanning everywhere.

 

Every effort was made to ensure that only the style was altered, but TEST them before depending on them heavily... meaning, it would be a good idea to back-up your original header files, just in case there is an error that crept in somewhere a long the way. The easiest thing to do is just rename the current include directory as include2, then unzip the new include directory in its old spot.

 

If someone would like to code a 'Header Verifier' program for cc65, that would be helpful.

 

In any case, you will find the new headers very readable, and useful for study. Every header in the 'include' directory has been pretty printed & brought to a standard format.

You might want to post these to the cc65 list so that they can be included in the actual distribution.

I thought that I'd fish for some feedback here, first.

 

I'm refining the files further, this time to add clarity to the code & further delineate code blocks, so that the code can be maintained, modified, & upgraded a lot easier.

 

In accordance with the license, I've also specified that it is a revision to the headers previously supplied. The new headers go by the name: "Deluxe-O-Matic Revision". I'll post them for comment when they are complete.

 

Thanks for taking a look at them, I'll consider any reasonable suggestions.

 

If anyone wants to take a stab at a header verification program, that would be cool.
