clang-format
============
`clang-format <https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormat.html>`__ is a tool to reformat C/C++ to the right coding style.
Run Locally
-----------
The mozlint integration of clang-format can be run using mach:
.. parsed-literal::
$ mach lint --linter clang-format <file paths>
Configuration
-------------
To enable clang-format on new directory, add the path to the include
section in the `clang-format.yml <https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/tools/lint/clang-format.yml>`_ file.
While excludes: will work, this linter will read the ignore list from `.clang-format-ignore file <https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/.clang-format-ignore>`_
at the root directory. This because it is also used by the ./mach clang-format -p command.
Autofix
-------
clang-format can reformat the code with the option `--fix` (based on the upstream option `-i`).
To highlight the results, we are using the ``--dry-run`` option (from clang-format 10).
