Alignment options for reordered C functions

[fspafford]

I am having alignment problems when comparing C code that is automatically generated, where the order of functions is not consistent. I would like to have the comparison automatically align based on the name of the C function.

Ideally, the order of the C functions would be the same before comparing.

For now, any recommendations on alignment options (BC3) for this scenario?

Regards,
Frank

Hello Frank,

This best way to handle this in BC3 is to use an external conversion to sort your files, either before comparing in Beyond Compare or by setting up an External Conversion:

We have a few rules like this available for download for XML files, but we do not currently have one available for C:
