Coding Styles and Code Formatting

• This project uses Google's Coding Style with some modifications.
• Coding style compliance is verified by gitlab-ci, please check the build log (false positives might occur)
• QtCreator can be configured to enforce our coding style whenever a source or header file is saved:

• Install the clang-format binary: sudo apt install clang-format-3.8 (you might choose a newer version if available)
• Install the Beautifier Plugin (Help - About Plugins... - C++/Beautifier) and restart QtCreator
• Go to Tools - Options... - Beautifier and enable auto format on file save
• Select Tool: ClangFormat and restrict to files contained in the current project.
• Go to Tab Clang Format and define the binary according to the installed clang-format version: /usr/bin/clang-format-3.8
• Under Options choose File. Consequently, QtCreator will parse the project folder and will automatically find the .clang_format file containing the configuration.
