Hi.
I’ve started using clang-format and it is working really well.
But there is a problem. If I checkout a git file, format it, change a line and push it back I would have taken the “ownership” of all lines of code (at least in terms of git-blame). We are a lot of devs here and everybody has his/her own “taste” about formatting.
It would be so great if git and clang-format were integrated (in lets say something like clang-git).
The idea :
The source can be kept in the clang-git “format free” - probably only 1 very long line with all the source without any “extra” whitespace and whatsoever. When the file is checked and opened in tool (patched vim, notepad++, VS, etc), the tool converts the “format free” version of the file using clang-format to a format the user wants. clang-git is responsible for managing the “ownership”, track and show changes (probably using clang-diff :))).
Using setup like this everybody can use whatever format he likes without messing with the code format
of his/her colleagues.
Thanks,
Bye.
