clang-format.el

;;; clang-format.el --- Format code using clang-format

;; Keywords: tools, c
;; Package-Requires: ((cl-lib "0.3"))

;;; Commentary:

;; This package allows to filter code through clang-format to fix its formatting.
;; clang-format is a tool that formats C/C++/Obj-C code according to a set of
;; style options, see <http://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormatStyleOptions.html>.
;; Note that clang-format 3.4 or newer is required.

;; clang-format.el is available via MELPA and can be installed via
;;
;;   M-x package-install clang-format
;;
;; when ("melpa" . "http://melpa.org/packages/") is included in
;; `package-archives'. Alternatively, ensure the directory of this
;; file is in your `load-path' and add
;;
;;   (require 'clang-format)
;;
;; to your .emacs configuration.

;; You may also want to bind `clang-format-region' to a key:
;;
;;   (global-set-key [C-M-tab] 'clang-format-region)
