             Summary: Use clang-format to automatically format code to style
                 Key: MESOS-1291
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-1291
             Project: Mesos
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Dominic Hamon


Instead of relying on a script to check and report style errors, we should move to a workflow that allows people to write code how they feel comfortable and then automatically format it to conform to our style guide.

The Chromium style from clang-format (http://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormat.html) is very close to our style except for the dropped braces on class, struct, and function definitions, and two lines of whitespace between method definitions outside a class. As such, we should consider adopting clang-format and patching it to include a Mesos style variant.

It can be run as part of post-reviews or as a git commit hook, or manually from within editors.
