Functions

code_pretty_string

char *code_pretty_string(List code)

Returns a canonical formatted C String for an emitted token List. Token order and code are unchanged. Braces indent by two spaces, semicolons break lines only outside parentheses, and preprocessor tokens occupy their own lines with escaped quotes normalized. An empty List returns the empty String.

Raises: <size-limit> or <alloc-fail> while materializing the result.

Source: src/format.x:88

Design notes

Converts emitted token Lists to pretty or compact C text without changing token order. Parenthesis depth suppresses statement breaks within expressions, and preprocessor tokens normalize escaped quotes before Buffer materializes the final String.
