<p>I think there is some hack around that:<br />
<a href="http://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormat.html#script-for-patch-reformatting" class="remarkup-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">http://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormat.html#script-for-patch-reformatting</a></p>
<p>But actually, if your sources are already clang-formatted, you just need to run the clang-format target once before you commit, the your new code will be the only thing altered.</p></div>

<p>For our projects at work where we have the liberty to dictate the coding style, we also use clang format. To do that properly, we have a pre-commit check locally and then a gerrit bot similar to the Qt coding style bot which checks the formatting introduced by a patch. This way, one can be sure that the style doesn't deteriorate over time.</p>
<p>Some links on that matter:</p>
<ul class="remarkup-list">
<li class="remarkup-list-item"><a href="https://github.com/nghttp2/nghttp2/blob/master/pre-commit" class="remarkup-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/nghttp2/nghttp2/blob/master/pre-commit</a> is what I use to check my commits, there are probably other, better hooks available somewhere, but this one has suited me well so far</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">when the hook complains, I run <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">git clang-format</tt> which is part of the clang package that also ships clang-format on ArchLinux</li>
</ul>
<p>I guess the commit hook can also be used for a server check, but I'm not sure how this is done with gerrit for us, or how one would do it with phabricator/gitlab for KDE.</p>
<p>Anyhow: big +1 form my side for using clang-format for all of KDE (eventually) and KDE frameworks in the near future as a starting point.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R240 Extra CMake Modules</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D24568">https://phabricator.kde.org/D24568</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>cullmann, Frameworks<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>mwolff, ochurlaud, nalvarez, kossebau, aacid, davidedmundson, dhaumann, apol, ognarb, kde-frameworks-devel, kde-buildsystem, LeGast00n, GB_2, bencreasy, michaelh, ngraham, bruns<br /></div>
