I'm unsure whether it's possible with ndn-cxx rules.<br><br>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.<br><br>Yours, Junxiao</div></div><div dir="ltr"><hr><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: bold;">From: </span><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><a href="mailto:nmgordon@memphis.edu">Nick Gordon</a></span><br><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: bold;">Sent: </span><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">11/3/2016 11:36</span><br><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: bold;">To: </span><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><a href="mailto:shijunxiao@email.arizona.edu">Junxiao Shi</a></span><br><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: bold;">Subject: </span><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Code formatter/beautifier</span><br><br></div>Junxiao,<br><br>In an attempt to smooth out style issues, I intend to use a formatter. <br>It appears that there is a well-known program, "clang-format", that does <br>this.
