Re: [edk2-devel] Progress on getting Uncrustify working for EDK2?

["Marvin Häuser" <mhaeuser@posteo.de>]

Hey Rebecca,

I think even Uncrustify has issues with the EDK II indentation style. 
You might want to check the UEFI Talkbox Discord server, I had a brief 
chat with Michael about it there. I don't think realistically any tool 
supports EDK II's indentation style however, so I'd propose it is 
changed. This could be for new submissions only, or actually the entire 
codebase could be reformatted at once with a good tool setup. While this 
screws with git blame, the (to my understanding) decided on CRLF -> LF 
change does that anyway, so at least two evils could be dealt with in 
one go really.

Best regards,
Marvin
