Details

Summary

This patch adds support for the Whitesmiths indentation style to clang-format. It’s an update to a patch submitted in 2015 (D6833), but reworks it to use the newer API.

There are still some issues with this patch, primarily around switch and case support. The added unit test won’t currently pass because of the remaining issues.

Martin should know who should look at this... maybe Krasimir?

Yes, I think he'd be a good person to look at this.

Thank you for this patch

This LGTM, ensure you comment out the failing unit tests and add a FIXME to the test as to why they don't currently work (or fix them if possible), the tests need to keep passing or others will not know they haven't broken things.

Normally there always would be a comment saying please state a public style guide that uses a new style, but as Whitesmiths style is mentioned on the Wikipedia page about Indentation style so I would think you were good to add it!

Adding @djasper as this is really a re-implementation of https://reviews.llvm.org/D6833.
Agree with @MyDeveloperDay that in general we should aim to document all the known cases where a style doesn't work (with FIXMEs etc.), but not submit failing tests. We can have tests that demonstrate the current (bad) behavior together with a FIXME comment about what is the expected good outcome instead.

Marked failing tests as FIXME

I don't have push access for master. Can someone merge this?
