Clang Meaning

Clang is a front-end compiler for C, C and Objective C. It's a liberally licensed open-source project backed by Apple, which uses it for its own tools.

clang-format is a tool toautomatically format C/C++/Objective-C code, so that developers don't need toworry about style issues during code reviews.

Clang Invasion

It is highly recommended to format your changed C++ code before opening pullrequests, which will save you and the reviewers' time.

Clang Association Example

You can install clang-format and git-clang-format vianpm install -g clang-format.

Clang

To automatically format a file according to Electron C++ code style, runclang-format -i path/to/electron/file.cc. It should work on macOS/Linux/Windows.

The workflow to format your changed code:

  1. Make codes changes in Electron repository.
  2. Run git add your_changed_file.cc.
  3. Run git-clang-format, and you will probably see modifications inyour_changed_file.cc, these modifications are generated from clang-format.
  4. Run git add your_changed_file.cc, and commit your change.
  5. Now the branch is ready to be opened as a pull request.

If you want to format the changed code on your latest git commit (HEAD), you canrun git-clang-format HEAD~1. See git-clang-format -h for more details.
