Hello Juergen,
I've started to work on checkpatch-like python script. I make it based on clang-format-diff.py and it works as pre-commit hook. > The easiest way to accomplish that is a file in the repository's root > directory containing the necessary information. It will be named > "STYLES" and contains lines in the format: I will follow this approach. > Remains the question how to design the style checker itself. It could > be: > > (a) a monolithic script (perl, python, whatever) being capable of > handling all the different coding styles > (b) a main script checking the patch header and calling a code style > specific script for each source file modified by the patch It seems like specific script for style checking is not needed. Because clang-format tool does style checking by itself. All we need is just to provide appropriate coding style description file for each. Clang-format is a bit specific tool, so we can not specify explicitly file with coding style description. It just looks for a .clang-format file in one of a parent directories of a file being checked. As we got at least three coding-styles we have to substitute needed file in sources top directory for each check. It could be done by generating .clang-format file dynamically depending on style/path from the STYLES file. Another way could be using appropriate symlink on existing .clang-format file which is located somewhere in tools/clang-format/coding-style-file like: tools/clang-format/xen-style tools/clang-format/linux-style tools/clang-format/xl-style Regards Iurii
