All control blocks (if, for, while, etc.) should have a blank line
before the opening statement and after the closing curly brace or
statement so that it is clear where the control block begins and
ends.
The use of printf, wxLogDebug, and std::err/std::out causes excessive
debugging output which makes finding specific debugging messages more
difficult than it needs to be.
There is still some debugging output in test code that really needs to
be moved into a unit test.
Add debugging output section to the coding policy regarding debugging
output.
Ironically make the document formatting more consistent and remove
some trailing whitespace.
Changed "When it Rome.." title since may not have the same meaning in
other languages as it does in English. Also add table of contents to
this section for linking purposes.
Remove version 5 road map since version 5 has been released.
Update version 6 road map to reflect current development goals.
Cleaned out old goals from generic road map in preparation for version
7 development.
Add note to compiling document about building with Boost 1.70 on Windows.
Fix link to Linux coding style policy in KiCad Coding Style Guide.
Update tool framework documentation to reflect changes in the tool
framework code.
Currently, the format enforces single lines when possible, but does
not enforce readable column-based alignment (and, moreover, *removes*
such manually added alignment:
switch( m_orientation )
{
case PIN_RIGHT: m_orientation = PIN_UP; break;
case PIN_UP: m_orientation = PIN_LEFT; break;
}
Change this to multi-line by default:
switch( m_orientation )
{
case PIN_RIGHT:
m_orientation = PIN_UP;
break;
case PIN_UP:
m_orientation = PIN_LEFT;
break;
}
If the developer wishes for column-aligned single-line cases, this
is permitted, but much be done manually:
switch( m_orientation )
{
case PIN_RIGHT: m_orientation = PIN_DOWN; break;
case PIN_UP: m_orientation = PIN_RIGHT; break;
}
CHANGE: the _clang-format file to reflect this, and add note about
manual override in the dev docs.
The keeps all the formatting config together in the Git ecosystem
and keeps the config on a per-repo basis, unless the user explicitly
sets it --global.
Keep the old env var behaviour for now for backwards compatibility.
Add a .gitattributes files to provide a place to store file
attributes. Add a custom attribute for files that should be under
KiCad style guidelines.
Exclude generated files from the style enforcement. So far:
* bitmap .cpp files
* wxFormBuilder base classes
* Lemon grammars
It's now trivial to add the 'generated' attribute to any such
file.
Putting this into .gitattributes also means it can be retreived
programmatically, by other scripts, git alaises or on the command
line.
Use the attributes to provide a utility script to show or apply
formatting to controlled files (plain git clang-format won't
pick up our custom git attributes). Add details for the script in
the dev docs.
Also modiify the check-format hook to follow the .gitattributes
and only apply to cached (staged for commit) changes. Then you
won't be stopped committing because of bad formatting in unstaged
changed, or uncontrolled files.
Concept and some aspects of the implementation inspired by

This adds a pre-commit hook to warn of any style errors.
Also adds a 'hook-chain' script to simplify future hooks.
Add dev-doc note about how to use the formatter.
