Do you mean formatting the C++ source to a nicer looking format? There is a
tool called 'indent' for that which is standar on most linux and unix
distributions including MacOS X. Also you can search for 'c++ beautifier'.
With 'indent' you can tell your coding style and it changes the source code
according to that. For example if you like the curly on the same line as th=
e
function definition or a new line, if you want space after brackets,
indenting etc.

For example:

tamas-mac:~ trudnai$ indent
for(i=3D0; i<10; i++) { int u=3D0; int v=3D0; for(v=3D9;v;v--) { }}
for (i =3D 0; i < 10; i++) {
        int             u =3D 0;
        int             v =3D 0;
        for (v =3D 9; v; v--) {
        }
}

As you can see from the first line it creates a nicer looking source code.
But you can change the style, for example to put the curly into the next
line instead:

tamas-mac:~ trudnai$ indent -bl
for(i=3D0; i<10; i++) { int u=3D0; int v=3D0; for(v=3D9;v;v--) { }}
for (i =3D 0; i < 10; i++)
{
        int             u =3D 0;
        int             v =3D 0;
        for (v =3D 9; v; v--)
        {
        }
}

You can also tell to break up long lines without braking the C++ rules as i=
t
contains a true C++ parser...
