I asked something similar half a year ago: https://cmake.org/pipermail/cmake-developers/2015-June/025498.html
In short, there is no fully automated style checking. If someone would come up with a tool & configuration I would love to use this. So far I tested astyle and the C++ edition of ReSharper (unfortunately quite expensive). The more complicated thing would be, that you have to run the formatter over all existing code and thus you would introduce a huge amount of meaningless changes. I believe (and partially understand) many developers here on the list wouldn't really like large cosmetic changes like this. best regards, Michael > -----Original Message----- > From: cmake-developers [mailto:cmake-developers-boun...@cmake.org] > On Behalf Of Robert Dailey > Sent: Tuesday, November 17, 2015 3:01 AM > To: CMake Developers > Subject: [cmake-developers] Code style auto-formatting > > IMHO, the code style in the CMake code base is incredibly inconsistent, but > even the consistent style that is there is a giant pain to follow by hand. > > I'm constantly fighting my tooling's auto formatting.
