clang-format-linter
Tired of spending half time of code review on marking code style issues?
Here we go - this allows to use clang-format as a linter for arcanist to enforce style over your C/C++/Objective-C codebase.
It's not invasive (yet) and at the moment just suggests to autofix code.
Installation
What you want to get is to make this module to be available for arcanist. There are a couple of ways to achieve it depending on your requirements.
Prerequisites
Right now clang-format should be installed beforehand. On OS X you can do it through homebrew `brew install clang-format`.
You also have to configure your style in .clang-format (documentation)
Best way is to start from a predefined style by dumping an existing style clang-format -style=LLVM -dump-config > .clang-format and tune parameters.
There is also a wonderful interactive builder available.
Project-specific installation
You can add this repository as a git submodule and in this case .arcconfig should look like:
json { "load": [ "path/to/submodule" ] // ... }
Global installation
arcanist can load modules from an absolute path. But there is one more trick - it also searches for modules in a directory up one level from itself.
It means that you can clone this repository to the same directory where arcanist and libphutil are located. In the end it should look like this:
sh > ls arcanist clang-format-linter libphutil
In this case you .arcconfig should look like
json { "load": [ "clang-format-linter" ] // ... }
Another approach is to clone clang-format-linter to a fixed location and use absolute path like:
sh cd ~/.dev-tools git clone https://github.com/vhbit/clang-format-linter
json { "load": [ "~/.dev-tools/clang-format-linter" ] // ... }
Both ways of global installation are actually almost equally as in most cases you'd like to have a bootstrapping script for all tools.
Setup
Once installed, linter can be used and configured just as any other arcanist linter
Here is a simplest .arclint:
json { "linters": { "clang-format": { "type": "clang-format", "include": "(^Source/.*\\.(m|h|mm)$)" }, // ... } }
