CMake Source Code Guide
***********************
The following is a guide to the CMake source code for developers.
See documentation on `CMake Development`_ for more information.
.. _`CMake Development`: README.rst
C++ Code Style
==============
We use `clang-format`_ version **3.8** to define our style for C++ code in
the CMake source tree. See the `.clang-format`_ configuration file for our
style settings. Use the `Utilities/Scripts/clang-format.bash`_ script to
format source code. It automatically runs ``clang-format`` on the set of
source files for which we enforce style. The script also has options to
format only a subset of files, such as those that are locally modified.
