[RFC] clang-format: outline the git project's coding style

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add a '.clang-format' file which outlines the git project's coding
style.  This can be used with clang-format to auto-format .c and .h
files to conform with git's style.

I'm sure this sort of thing comes up every so often on the list but back at
git-merge I mentioned how it would be nice to not have to worry about style
when reviewing patches as that is something mechanical and best left to a
machine (for the most part).  I saw that 'clang-format' was brought up on the
list once before a couple years ago
(https://public-inbox.org/git/20150121220903.GA10267@xxxxxxxx/) but nothing
really came of it.  I spent a little bit of time combing through the various
options and came up with this config based on the general style of our code
base.  The big issue though is that our code base isn't consistent so try as
you might you wont be able to come up with a config which matches everything we
do (mostly due to the inconsistencies in our code base).

Anyway, I thought I'd bring this topic back up and see how people feel about it.
