CppStyle

An Eclipse plugin that integrates the clang-format tool as an alternative C/C++ code formatter and checks C++ coding style with the cpplint.py tool.

A consistent coding style is important for a project. And many projects use tools to format the code and check coding style. Many developers use Eclipse as a C/C++ IDE, but it is a little difficult to integrate an external tool to Eclipse. People have to switch to a command line and run the tools to format the code and check the coding style. And then they need to switch back to Eclipse to find the line and fix the coding style issue based on the tool's output. This is irritating.

The expected behavious is that people just format the code fragment by first selecting it and then pressing Command + Shift + f on MacOS or Ctrl + Shift + f on Linux and other systems. Further more, the coding style checker is run whenever a file is saved and all the issues are marked on the editor. That is exactly what CppStyle does.
