[Lldb-commits] [PATCH] Add a .clang-format file to enhance formatting experience with clang-format

[Chandler Carruth]

(peanut gallery comment from LLVm and Clang communities and a happy
clang-format user)

One thing to keep in mind is that clang-format is just a tool. You can use
it, but you can also not use it when it doesn't serve your purpose. I still
will at times manually format code correctly precisely because there is an
art to laying it out so it looks clear. I just use clang-format to get me
close to this first (often surprisingly close). And you can always just
ignore it...

You might ask Jim Grosbach from LLVM land or some of the Clang hackers you
know who are using clang-format regularly and successfully? They might be
able to share experiences, pros, cons, etc.
