RFC Coding Guidelines: Formatting Class Member Declarations | Haiku Project

I can understand the frustration.

I have found the bot very useful as a way to improve code formatting, save time on code reviews (even in its current imperfect version), and also show inconsistencies between clang-format and the coding style (of which some will require improving clang-format, and some will require changing the coding style).

You mean haiku-format?

Even if there is no short term decision of changing the coding style, I think the availability of the bot was a net improvement, and that it should not be archived, but kept running, and we should keep improving it.

Before putting more effort into haiku-format-bot, Haiku devs must come to terms with haiku-format or at least reach a consensus on what to do with the two 2-year-old blocking issues, one of which this RFC attempted to address. Even without the bot, haiku-format can be used with git before (or after) patches are submitted on gerrit. See a demo here.
