We are using formatting convention based on LLVM with few changes you can find in .clang-format file.
Install clang-format-7 then configure your IDE to use it and optionally you can add symlink to make your editor automatically take it by name:
sudo apt install -y clang-format-7
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/clang-format-7 /usr/bin/clang-formatInstruction for CLion:
- Go to File->Settings->Tools->External Tools and click on the plus sign. A window should pop up. Choose a name, for example "clang-format"
- For the Tool settings tab use this configuration:
- Program: clang-format (you should use the name of your executable here)
- Parameters: --style=file -i
$FileName$ - Working directory:
$FileDir$ Now, with your file open, you can go to Tools->External tools and run the config above. It basically calls clang-format and does inplace formatting using the style define in the first .clang-format file found in a parent directory.
For VS Code use this extension clang-format
