Hello,

I have got a project written in C++ and I need a "style guide" checker
which can be used by SVN or Git hooks. I would like to add also custom
rules.
The checker must be run under Linux, OSX and Windows and I preferre a
GPL or similar licence.

Does anybody know a good tool? I have found Vera++ but it is not under
devopling anymore.

Thanks

Phil

Why do you need a tool? Just setup your editor to match the required
guidelines.

I get the feeling his "style guide" covers more than what an editor
can. Exactly *what* he expects is hard to tell -- it could be
anything from whitespace-related things to naming schemes to
spellchecking of comments.

We are going to use Uncrustify as a commit hook for C code here, but
we haven't started yet so I don't know how well it will turn out. It's
supposedly very configurable. We'll use it for pure whitespace/
indentation issues.

(I would have preferred editor settings + written rules + human
feedback in review, but I was outvoted.)
