[Nfd-dev] Code formatter/beautifier

[Junxiao Shi]

Hi Nick

I heard there are someone using clang-format, but I haven't heard anyone being able to create a clang-format configuration that ensures 100% compliance.
Thus, I still recommend developers to memorize all style rules and ensure compliance the moment you type it.

I heard from a Google engineer that they use Eclipse to ensure Google code style compliance. I'm unsure whether it's possible with ndn-cxx rules.

ndnSIM has defined their rules in terms of a particular clang-format configuration, which could be a solution. However, relying on a tool as the rules is similar to defining a network protocol in terms of a specific implementation, which could cause inter-operability problems.

Yours, Junxiao

Junxiao,

In an attempt to smooth out style issues, I intend to use a formatter. 
It appears that there is a well-known program, "clang-format", that does 
this. Do you have any system that you use to format your code that I 
should know about?
