C++ Formatter

Clean up C++ source using safe browser-side formatting rules. The formatter protects strings and comments while normalizing indentation, braces, include ordering, trailing spaces, and repeated blank lines.

Developer Input

Local browser processing

C++ Source Code

#include <iostream>
#include <memory>
#include <vector>

class Worker {
public:
    virtual ~Worker() = default;
    void run(const std::vector<int>& values) {
        for (const auto& value : values) {
            std::cout << value << '\n';
        }
    }
};

int main() {
    auto worker = std::make_unique<Worker>();
    worker->run({1, 2, 3});
    return 0;
}

How to use this developer tool

Paste source code into the input area.
Select the processing mode and adjust the numeric option.
Run the tool or keep auto-run enabled.
Review status, summary, interpretation, and the copy-ready output.
Copy the result or download it with the appropriate extension.

What this developer tool does

Input → protected lexical scan → tool-specific parsing or transformation → metrics → status and recommendations

Results are browser-side heuristics. They do not replace Roslyn, Clang, a compiler, unit tests, or project-specific static analysis.

Example

Input: Paste the included sample and run the tool.
Output: The page produces a real C++ Formatter result, statistics, status, and practical interpretation.

Tips for better output

Use complete, consistently encoded source whenever possible.
Run compiler and project tests after automated formatting or conversion.
Macro-heavy, generated, or incomplete code may produce partial structural analysis.
Keep auto-run disabled when editing extremely large source files.

FAQ

How do I format C++ code online?

Paste source into the input area, select the available options, and run C++ Formatter. The result is processed locally in your browser.

How do I change C++ brace style?

The tool reports browser-detectable structure and style signals with line-oriented output where applicable.

How do I sort C++ include directives?

The analysis is heuristic and intentionally avoids claiming compiler-level certainty.

Does this formatter preserve strings and comments?

Large or macro-heavy files may produce partial results; use a compiler or language-specific analyzer for final verification.

Can this tool replace clang-format?

Run the formatter or validator first, then review the generated recommendations and copy or download the output.
