That's one of those things I'd really like to try, but will never have time. But I can at least file some bugs. What stopped me from doing so in the past is that the missing things were really some things I would consider like oddities / inconsistency of our style. For example, we use space before parenthesis, except for the `_` (gettext) macro: printf (_("Hello %s\n"), name); If we tell clang-format we want spaces before function call parenthesis, it (rightfully) inserts a space after the `_`. To prevent that, I suppose we'd need a way to say: in general I want this style, but for this macro I want this other style. I fear I'll be called crazy if I request that :). Simon
