Clang format

[versable]

Hey @Try ,

it would be wise to offload the code style to a formatter/linter. Here is a WIP implementation with mainwindow.cpp as a test case for automatic formatting.

Afaik current code-style is not represented in clang-format, would it be possible to format other things, while ignoring brackets { } ?

[versable]

@Try I'll look into it.

Regarding brackets. The current style is called "Ratliff" and is quite unconventional (i find i a little confusing, because the closing bracket stays indented). Usually either K&R or Allman brackets are used.

But if you really want to keep this bracket style, clang-format does have BS_Custom style, where you can manually define the brackets the way you want.

Edit: So i tried to get it to work, but sadly it is not possible, because IndentBraces doesn't properly apply to all braces.

BreakBeforeBraces: Custom
BraceWrapping:
  AfterFunction: false
  AfterClass: false
  AfterStruct: false
  AfterEnum: false
  AfterUnion: false
  BeforeElse: false
  BeforeCatch: false
  IndentBraces: true

So the only way to indent braces at the moment is to use Whitesmiths brace style, which in turn disables customization for the opening bracket.
