Question: Is there an existing .clang-format configuration appropriate for this project? Should we create one? about wasi-libc HOT 6 OPEN

Yeah, I'd be interested in seeing what happens if we apply that...

I don't think we want to be applying that to existing code, since we are mostly a fork of musl and we dont want to introduce extra deltas for this kind of thing. For new code it seems reasonable enough as long as its true that the kernel style and musl style do indeed mostly align.

I think for files that come from upstream musl its best to stick to the upstream style of the musl codebase. I doubt this style is covered by a pre-existing config so you might have to role your own, using a pre-existing as a starting point.

For completely new downstream files I guess we could go a different direction, but maybe its better to just have once style everywhere?

Yeah, I guess we should avoid creating yet another style for new code and instead try to match one of the existing ones, e.g. the musl one.

The GNU style might be a good starting point: https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormatStyleOptions.html#basedonstyle ?

https://wiki.musl-libc.org/coding-style says:

The best short description of the coding style used in musl is “very similar to the Linux kernel style”.

... so maybe we should start with https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/.clang-format
