This does do a few arguably weird things: E.g., I compared the resulting object files --- no differences found other than expected from the use of BTW: |

VS supports clang format natively, so it is definitely an improvement compared to uncrustify. |
Are you sure these line numbers are from access.c? I do not see the examples you point to there?
Yeah, in other projects we tried to work with the clang-format from distros, but that is very limiting, in how old that always ends up being. And while clang-format is generally stable, it still sometimes changes behavior between versions, e.g. due to bug fixes. This is why I did go the route of adding the pre-commit support, which allows you to specify a specific clang-format version that it will then always use. I think it installs it via a pypi package? Would need to check. This way works for me, for people with IDEs they will need to check how to get the latest clang-format. But definitely no to using the clang-format from a specific Ubuntu version.
Hmm, yeah, I could have used a fork. I had the permissions so I did it without much thought. |

Here is a case where it splits args each into a new line.

Here is an example of line break after opening "("

Yeah, one can play around with the different penalty values like PenaltyBreakBeforeFirstCallParameter to influence this. And obviously the ColumnLimit plays a huge role here.
This tries to capture the "OpenVPN" format as good as possible. Signed-off-by: Frank Lichtenheld <[email protected]>

The uncrustify tool is relatively unstable, the configuration is difficult to understand.
Switch to clang-format instead, which has better support in terms of maintenance and integrations.
The clang-format configuration I have developed to be as close to old "OpenVPN" style as enforced by uncrustify as possible. While switching openvpn2 itself to it is a bigger project, I think this project should be easier.
I have skimmed over the reformat commit and didn't see any real cases where it made the code worse, but feel free to point out any specific instances.
