[lldb-dev] Running Clang-format automatically in CMake

[Zachary Turner via lldb-dev]

What would be the gain of such a thing?  It would be extremely slow to run
clang-format every single time you ran CMake, and also having a run of
CMake generate changes to your source tree seems like using the wrong tool
for the job.  I think we should follow whatever LLVM does, which in this
case is that it is each developers' responsibility to run clang-format
before submitting.

There may be a case to be made for presubmit hooks that prevent you from
checking in code which doesn't pass clang-format, but that discussion
should happen on llvm-dev at .
