Hi

I found a formatting tool called uncrustify that comes with a gnu style 
config 
https://github.com/bengardner/uncrustify/blob/master/etc/gnu-indent.cfg 
that needed a few tweaks to format code that looked what is already in 
gcc/genattrtab.c

The tweaks was:

indent_with_tabs = 2 // instead of 0
sp_func_def_paren     = add // instead of remove
sp_func_proto_paren  = add // instead of remove
sp_func_call_paren     = add // instead of remove

So now the code should be correctly formatted.
Do i send in a new patch or just respond to the old one with the new 
changes?

I have also followed instructions at 
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2003-06/txt00010.txt to get copyright 
assignment though i have not yet received a reply.
