Code formatting? .clang-format is missing - VSC default messes up formatting

[uvwxy]

Hi OSW devs, it's been a while :)

First thing I stumbled across is that my good old .clang-format file has disappeared in the dev branch. Is there a new system in place I missed in the readme to setup formatting to match the repo?

Cheers,
Paul

Hi Paul,

now that you mention it... So, in a merge-request pipeline we have astyle formatting our code - in theory this also runs in VSCode, but seemingly I have forgotten to add this to the .vscode configuration. Also, I was not sure how to configure the file .clang-format, you mentioned, to behave exactly like the pipelines astyle, so to prevent having multiple formatting systems working against each other, I chose to remove the latter one. To be fair, I have never investigated if we could apply the format described in .clang-format inside the pipeline (I mean, VSCode will certainly not run there)...
Do you have some opinion on this specifically? While I could simply add astyle back into VSCode, maybe an investigation of how to use the .clang-format in the pipeline would also an option.

Cheers

Edit: clang-format seems to be an interesting option, as it is natively supported by VSCode and hence does not require installing astyle there - although the formatter seems to be a little more bulky if applied automatically onto whole repositories. If it does not break the whole current formatting, I would be open to migrate to that instead.
