Hello,

I think we waste too much time to address coding style issues on newly contributed code, for example GSoC. I don't know a source code formatting tool which supports the RTEMS coding style and I think it is not worth the time to write and maintain such a tool specifically for RTEMS. Why don't we simply allow an alternative coding style which has a good code formatter for new source files? I don't propose to reformat the existing files.

I would simply pick up one of the standard styles supported by clang-format and declare it as an acceptable coding style for RTEMS. Then students can pipe their code through it before they send it for review. This helps to concentrate on the important things to review and not the white space.
