[cfe-dev] [Clang 4.0 Docs] AlignConsecutiveDeclarations Improvement Proposal

[FIXED-TERM Kammel Fabian (ETAS-PSC/EPE) via cfe-dev]

Hey,

The other day I asked a question about clang-format on stackoverflow [1]. And another user called attention to the fact that, in the section about AlignConsecutiveDeclarations, the types of the initializers and variables do not match. It reads:

int         aaaa = 12;
float       b = 23;
std::string ccc = 23;

And maybe should be changed to something like:


int         aaaa = 12;

float       b = 2.4f;

std::string ccc = "some string";

Is the mailing list the correct place for suggestions like that? Or is there another place to discuss improvements of the documentation?

I try to integrate clang-format and clang-tidy in our development process and might stumble upon more ambiguities and possible improvements.

Also I noticed that the documentation (especially for clang-tidy options) is sometimes quite sparse. Is there a way for me to contribute to the documentation, since I need to figure this stuff out either way.

Best regards,
Fabian Kammel
