Re: [PATCH] Implement auto annotation on component/symbol placement.
HI,
thank you so much for the feedback.
I agree with your first point, will do that very soon.
Regarding the code formatting, I tried using both uncrustify and
clang-format with the supplied configs but none of them really worked
because they would end up changing lots of other code outside of the
scope of this feature so I'm not sure what to do about that (even just
other parts of files I edited). I could always do this by hand but
automagic code formatting is much nicer.
I suspected there may be some issues with multi-unit symbols so I will
look into that.
I will also use `format-patch` when sending in new patches. Thank you
for letting me know about it.
