no, they can't in indentation based languages. changing indentation implies changing the code. A formatter isn't allowed to do that

In gdb? It's a shame gdb picked python
But that doesn't work if the indentation carries semantic meaning; you can't change the indentation without changing the meaning. Maybe you can correct syntactically-incorrect spacing (e.g. change 3 spaces to 4 spaces), but not much beyond that.
