Create a C/C++ code formatting tool using Clang tool

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to create a C/C code formatting tool with the help of clang tools.

SETUP

sudo apt install python
sudo apt install clang-format-3.5

We will then create a Python file in a location where the current user has read and write permissions.

Example

import os
cpp_extensions = (".cxx",".cpp",".c", ".hxx", ".hh", ".cc", ".hpp")
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(os.getcwd()):
   for file in files:
      if file.endswith(cpp_extensions):
         os.system("clang-format-3.5 -i -style=file " + root + "/" + file)

Creates a file format file in the current user's top-level directory.

Output

clang-format-3.5 -style=google -dump-config > .clang-format

Finally copy this file to the top-level directory of the current project.

Now you can use your own code formatting tool. Just run the created Python file and you're ready to go!
