Full description

Keeping code correctly indented can be tedious. And when the project is large, maintaining a consistent style everywhere by hand can become almost impossible. gnu-indent solves this problem by doing the job itself. Enable gnu-indent-mode and continue with the your editing; your file will be reindented by GNU Indent just before saving it maintaining the position of point.

GNU Indent supports C, C++ is also partially supported.
