Can you post this on any public repo for now (e.g. github gitlab bitbucket, whatever) and post an e-mail on this list with title "[RFC] Code Standards Checking using clang-format" or something like it with link to the repo. I think this is enough for the small task required for this project. Ideally, because at some point you will need to do this, you would follow https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Submitting_Xen_Project_Patches - but we could waive this in this case. But it will make reviewing the output easier. >> 4: a small script that checks that .clang-format works correctly on these >> pieces of code > >> For 4, you probably want to run clang-format with -output-replacements-xml >> on the files in 1 >- 3 and then do some grep magic to see whether it does >> the right thing. > > Can you elaborate on this a bit. What is the expected end product? I think this is a stretch goal, given the time-frame. The idea here was to be able to verify that the clang-format file works as expected on some code snippets that we know adhere to the coding standards. This would in essence produce a stand-alone test for the .clang-format file on the coding style patterns that we know works. > Meanwhile, I have resumed on writing the proposal.
