clang-format.py

# This file is a minimal clang-format vim-integration. To install:
# - Change 'binary' if clang-format is not on the path (see below).
# - Add to your .vimrc:
#
#   map <C-I> :pyf <path-to-this-file>/clang-format.py<cr>
#   imap <C-I> <c-o>:pyf <path-to-this-file>/clang-format.py<cr>
#
# The first line enables clang-format for NORMAL and VISUAL mode, the second
# line adds support for INSERT mode. Change "C-I" to another binding if you
# need clang-format on a different key (C-I stands for Ctrl+i).
#
# With this integration you can press the bound key and clang-format will
# format the current line in NORMAL and INSERT mode or the selected region in
# VISUAL mode. The line or region is extended to the next bigger syntactic
# entity.
#
# It operates on the current, potentially unsaved buffer and does not create
# or save any files. To revert a formatting, just undo.
