Use AStyle to keep the code clean.

[Robert Massaioli]

The options to run probably look something like this:

astyle --style="allman" --indent-switches --indent-namespaces --indent-classes --pad-oper --add-brackets **/*.cpp **/*.h

And on your local machine you should make that a pre-commit hook.

I have even written a script to put a vim modeline at the top of ever C++ file.

There is even a git pre-commit hook that makes sure that I do not mess up:

#!/bin/sh -e

echo "Running AStyle before commit"
ASTYLE=${ASTYLE:-astyle}
case `$ASTYLE --version 2> /dev/null` in
  Artistic*)
      ;;
  default)
      echo "fuppes git pre-commit hook:"
      echo "Did not find astyle, please install it before continuing."
      exit 1
      ;;
esac

bash scripts/run_astyle.bash "--formatted"
echo "Successfully ran astyle before commit."

exit 0

You should use this in the documentation.

This issue is now done the project gets correctly formatted all of the time.
