A little more background ...
I have only submitted the changes for include/libvirt/*.h so far.
At the bottom is a list of the files impacted by a total of 286 changes suggested by the clang-tidy filter.
The focus here is only the horizontal relationship establishing consistency between definition and declaration,
not the vertical line relationship of consistency between function definitions.
function_definition_1(p1, p2, p3) ---> function_declaration_1(p1,p2,p3)
|
|
|
function_definition_2(p1, p2, p3) ---> function_declaration_2(p1,p2,p3)
|
|
|
function_definition_n(p1, p2, p3) ---> function_declaration_n(p1,p2,p3)
My guess is > 90 percent of the 286 changes make the declaration better.
Probably < 10 percent of the 286 changes make the declaration slightly less readable (ex. domain->dom).
All of the changes make the declarations consistent with the definitions.
None of the changes make the function_definitions worse.
