tooling

Here are all the common things that we use when writing code.

You can simply run setup_all.py to setup everything automatically.
Currently this script does:

• copy .clang-format to the parent directory¹
• copy .clang-tidy to the parent directory¹
• copy .github/FUNDING.yml to the parent directory

If you need only some of the setup you can run setup_dev_tools.py and/or setup_funding_file.py individually.

Formatter

We use ClangFormat as our formatting tool and we provide a .clang-format file to configure it.

Static analyser

We use ClangTidy as our static analysis tool and we provide a .clang-tidy file to configure it.

Footnotes

1. Because it won't get detected unless it is in a parent directory of your C++ source files. This is also cool because it allows you to tweak the copied version and commit it. Basically it allows you to modify our version without having to do a fork. ↩ ↩²
