Auto-Format destroys multiline macros

[willie68]

From the Forum (http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=191048.0):

In my code I'm defining some macros.
e.g.
Code:

#define calcNP() \
if ((this->state & 0xF0) == 0) { \
    if (myStack.index == stackSize) { \
      this->msNullpoint = getMsValue(); \
      this->nullpoint = mMapMsValue(this->msNullpoint); \
      this->state = this->state | 0xF0; \
        } \
  }

If i try to format this file i get
Code:

#define calcNP() \
if ((this->state & 0xF0) == 0) { 
  \
    if (myStack.index == stackSize) { 
    \
      this->msNullpoint = getMsValue();  
    \
      this->nullpoint = mMapMsValue(this->msNullpoint); 
    \
      this->state = this->state | 0xF0; 
    \
        } 
  \
  }

which now throws compile errors.

The formatter should ignore the macro definition.
In addition it would be nice to have some markers in the source to prevent the formatter to format some portion of the source.
In Eclipse i can do this by adding:

// @formatter:off
...
// @formatter:on

@willie68 which OS do you have? I've a working fix for this but I need some real world test

Windows 8, Windows 7

Can you give this a try? I've run it with windows 8 but it should work with windows 7 too. Can you run it with windows 7?
