Description-en: Tool to format C/C++/Obj-C code
Clang-format is both a library and a stand-alone tool with the goal of
automatically reformatting C++ sources files according to configurable
style guides. To do so, clang-format uses Clang's Lexer to transform an
input file into a token stream and then changes all the whitespace around
those tokens. The goal is for clang-format to both serve both as a user
tool (ideally with powerful IDE integrations) and part of other
refactoring tools, e.g. to do a reformatting of all the lines changed
during a renaming.
.
This is a dependency package providing the clang format tool.
