Bug 189815 – check-webkit-style complains about weird indentation when line has leading C-style comment

• Status: NEW
• Component: Tools / Tests

[Daniel Bates]

Consider the following code:

0. int windowsKeyCodeForKeyCode(uint16_t keyCode)
1. {
2.     static const int windowsKeyCode[] = {
3.         /* 0 */ VK_A,
4.     }
5.     return 0;
6. }


check-webkit-style complains that line 3 has a "Weird number of spaces at line-start.  Are you using a 4-space indent?" even though the start of the C-style comment is on a 4 space boundary.

Compare the behavior to this code:

0. int windowsKeyCodeForKeyCode(uint16_t keyCode)
1. {
2.     static const int windowsKeyCode[] = {
3.         VK_A,
4.     }
5.     return 0;
6. }

I hit this issue when running check-webkit-style against attachment #350311 [details] (bug #189604).
