Source code formatting 4

This project uses clang-format (version 18) to enforce a consistent coding style for C and C++ source files. For convenience, treefmt is also configured as a single-command wrapper that discovers and formats every file in the tree.

clang-format

Configuration file

The formatting rules live in .clang-format at the repository root. The style is based on LLVM.

See the .clang-format file itself for the complete list.

Version requirement

clang-format 18 is required. The helper script scripts/clang-format-wrapper automatically resolves the correct binary: it first looks for clang-format-18 on PATH, then falls back to clang-format and verifies that its major version is 18. All other tooling in the repo calls this wrapper instead of clang-format directly.

Running clang-format manually

Format every tracked source file in the repository:

git ls-files -z \
            '*.c' '*.cc' '*.cpp' \
            '*.h' '*.hh' '*.hpp' \
            ':(exclude)include/etl/generators/*' \
            ':(exclude)include/etl/private/*_cpp03.h' | xargs -0 scripts/clang-format-wrapper -i --verbose --style=file

You can also format individual files directly:

scripts/clang-format-wrapper -i --style=file path/to/file.cpp

treefmt

treefmt is a language-agnostic source-tree formatter. It reads a single configuration file and dispatches each file to the appropriate formatter. In this project, it delegates all C/C++ formatting to the same clang-format-wrapper described above.

In comparison to calling clang-format directly, it brings a significant speedup.

Configuration file

The configuration lives in .treefmt.toml at the repository root.

Installing treefmt

treefmt is a standalone Go binary. Install it with any of:

# Using the official install script
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/numtide/treefmt/main/install.sh | bash

# Or via Homebrew
brew install treefmt

# Or via Nix
nix profile install nixpkgs#treefmt2

See the treefmt documentation for more options.

Running treefmt

From the repository root:

# Format everything
treefmt

# Check formatting without modifying files (useful in CI)
treefmt --fail-on-change

Excluded paths

.treefmt.toml excludes generated files under include/etl/generators/. Do not format those files manually via clang-format or treefmt.

Pre-commit

Before submitting a PR / contribution, run treefmt --fail-on-change to catch unformatted code before merge.

Alternatively, a plain treefmt automatically fixes any issues.
