I have piece of sample code (copied from stack overflow)

//some lines of code

    template <typename ... Args>
std::string string_format (
        const std::string& format,
        Args ... args )
{
    int size_s = std::snprintf( nullptr, 0, format.c_str(), args ... ) + 1;
    if( size_s <= 0 ){ throw std::runtime_error( "Error during formatting." ); }
    auto size = static_cast<size_t>( size_s );
    std::unique_ptr<char[]> buf( new char[ size ] );
    std::snprintf( buf.get(), size, format.c_str(), args ... );
    return std::string( buf.get(), buf.get() + size - 1 );
}

For some reason, the line containing "template" is always indented.

How to stop this behavior?


Update The problem is solved by using:

set cinoptions=t0

Thank Vivian De Smedt for the solution.

    What do you get when you query :set cindent?, :set smartindent?, :set autoindent? and :set indentexpr??

    I can reproduce the problem with autoindent, cindent, nosmartindent, indentexpr=. Feb 24 at 11:50
  • @Friedrich The result looks like what Vivian De Smedt shows

  • This is because @VivianDeSmedt was kind enough to do the digging for you and tried all permutations of relevant indentation options. I wouldn't have done this (and as a matter of fact: I didn't).

You can control the cindent indentation using the cinoptions (:help cinoptions).

To not have the return type indented you can do:

set cinoptions=t0

More information with :help cino-t
