Indent converts =op assignments by default

Forgive me if this has been addressed before, but I visit this not fequently
enough to catch all infos.

I recently used indent to reformat some C code for debugging (which consited of
macros almost completely) and found a problem with indent.

As mentionend in the man-page, indent can convert (very) old style assignments
of the form var =op value into the usual form of var op= value. This is
controlled by a command swith -osa and -nosa to turn the feature on and off.
The man-page says that -nosa (i.e. no conversion) is the default, but apparently
-osa is used. This can be kind of tricky since a statement like var =-42;
would be converted into the different form without being noticed (no error).

To fix this, simply add -nosa to the ~/.indent.pro file.


				I hope this helps ... bye ... Alex
