Eclipse how can I indent C++ preprocessor macros

Question

I can't find a setting in eclipse so that I can have it automatically indent my preprocessor macros the same way it indents code. For example eclipse tries to format code like this.

int main()
{
#ifdef SOMETHING
     cout << "Something Defined" << endl;
#endif
    return 0;
}

Whereas I want it to look like...

int main()
{
    #ifdef SOMETHING
     cout << "Something Defined" << endl;
    #endif
    return 0;
}

Any ideas to make eclipse do it how I want?

Pre-ANSI C preprocessor did not allow for space between the start of a line and the "#" character; the leading "#" had to always be placed in the first column.

Pre-ANSI C compilers are non-existent these days. Use which ever style (space before "#" or space between "#" and the identifier) you prefer.

But I suggest you do this:

Just use Find/Replace dialog and the push "Replace all"

I think there is no option for macro indentation. But I see clangformat seems to have option for macro indentation so you can customize your own clang format (http://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormatStyleOptions.html) and configure eclipse to use clangformat instead of the default.
