Re: [csmith-dev] astyle and csmith

[David Blaikie <dblaikie@gmail.com>]

clang-format does have tools for formatting patches rather than whole files (git-clang-format for git integration too). That's the way the LLVM project's been doing it - not with any policy, just having a format config that describes the project, then contributors can use it (& sometimes suggest using it in code reviews if the formatting looks off in some way) & if a particular file is really far from the prevailing style and you're going to make a bunch of changes, sometimes a whole file is formatted ahead of those changes.

If we were going to use an automatic formatting tool, I would choose clang-format, but I'm pretty sure that doing something like this is not very high on our list of priorities and I think it would cause major problems for anyone maintaining their own patched version of Csmith, or working on a patch that isn't submitted yet.

I do agree that it would be nice to have uniform formatting.

No.
