Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] [GREP] GNU Radio Coding Guidelines

[Ron Economos]

I realize that I'm late to the game, but I was recently reminded of this 
GREP (and it's associated GREP 0011). I'm all for cleaning the code, but 
the current .clang-format rules create a problem (that's addressed in 
GREP 0011).

Specifically, the current .clang-format would change the files so much, 
that the repository history would become useless. In GREP 0011, this is 
referred to as a "history reset".

I'd like to suggest a middle ground. A .clang-format can easily be 
crafted that uses the old GNU Radio guidelines. This would provide 
minimal changes to the files, and a "history reset" would be avoided (or 
at least mitigated).

Comments, questions or concerns?
