Formatting

The code in this repository is automatically formatted with clang-format.

If you want to automatically check your code before each commit, run:

mkdir -p .git/hooks
cp docs/pre-commit .git/hooks

clang-format version 10 added a number of nice features, such as a check accessible via the --dry-run flag. This is available on Debian testing and the latest Ubuntu release, but not older releases (though it can be installed with a little finagling). See commit 6e1f7d6.
For the future, we may also want to look at some of the nice scripts that LLVM maintains in their clang/tools directory.
