# preprocess files for indent check

# Code processing:
#
# Tabs are kept.
# Spaces after tabs are removed if indent is not smaller than in previous line.
#
# Example:
#
# <tab>a = 6;
# <spc>b = 5;
# <tab><spc>if (
# <tab><tab><tab><spc><spc>) {
# <tab><tab>c = 7;
# <tab><spc>}
#
# Result:
#
# <tab>a = 6;
# <spc>b = 5;
# <tab>if (
# <tab><tab><tab>) {
# <tab><tab>c = 7;
# <tab><spc>}

# Multiline comments processing:
#
# It is expected that tabs indent from comment begining is
# used as indent on begining of every commented line.
#
# Example:
#
# <tab>/*
# <spc><spc>A
# <tab><tab>B
# <tab><spc>C
# D
# <tab><spc>*/
# <tab><tab>/*
# <spc><tab><spc>R
#	<tab><spc><tab>*/
#
# Result:
#
# <tab>/*
# <spc>A
# <tab>B
# <tab>C
# D
# <tab>*/
# <tab><tab>/*
# <spc><tab>*R
#	<tab><spc>*/
