clang-format

[risc26z]

Please could we adopt clang-format in the project? If you're unfamiliar with it, it automatically applies some code formatting rules, specified in a file named '.clang-format' in the project root. Lots of editors have built-in support. I'm attaching a rules file that I use in one of my own projects as an example (it'll need to be renamed).

Readability helps a lot with working on a large codebase, and consistency in formatting really makes a difference. I have a little shell script with a 'find' recipe to run it against all my source files (I also invoke dos2unix at the same time).

Advantages:

• Consistency and improved readability of the source tree,
• It's easy for people who dislike the project's .clang-format to substitute their own, reformat, edit, debug, etc, then reformat to the project style before committing the changes. It's a real headache otherwise, especially when you've already used it to make browsing through the code easier.

Disadvantages:

• There is a single, large diff when formatting is applied the first time.

Thank you, I'll look into this when I get time.
