How to format code in GCC style?

How to format code in GCC style?

[Hanke Zhang]

Hi
I'm trying to format my code in GCC style.

But I don't know how to finish it. I try `indent` and
`check_GNU_style.sh` in the `contrib` directory. But none of them seem
to work well.

So I wondered is there any official tools to do that?

Thanks
Hanke Zhang

Hi Hanke,

Not sure if this will help you but this is what I use: While writing code in
GCC style, I use the vim options listed here:

https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/FormattingCodeForGCC

Then, before I submit a patch I run it through check_GNU_style.sh.  This works
fine for me.

Cheers,

Hi Filip,

Thanks for your reply. But I'm not so familiar with VIM actually. Thus
when I try the options listed there, nothing happened. (VSCODE is the
IDE I'm using for development.)

And I notice that there is a `vimrc` in the `contrib` directory, I
tried it too, but sadly, it didn't work for me.

Maybe I configured vim in some wrong way.

Thanks

Hello,

there's also a clang-format config file in contrib/clang-format. We're
using this for gcc-rs.
