cmd/gofmt: strange indentation of +-separated args #13800

cespare · 2016-01-02T08:16:07Z

This indentation seems strange:

b := []byte(
    "foo" +
        "bar" +
        "baz",
)

(See playground here.)

Not sure whether this is a bug or some weird corner case. I would've expected

b := []byte(
    "foo" +
    "bar" +
    "baz",
)

I think the current behavior is reasonable: all continuation lines have extra indentation.

Oh, right. It's the same as

b := []byte(
    foo(
        "bar"),
)

If you really cared about alignment (for readability reasons or something). You could do an empty string on the first line:

hex := []byte("" +
    "0123456789abcdef" +
    "0123456789abcdef" +
    "0123456789abcdef" +
    "0123456789abcdef" +
    "0123456789abcdef")
