Hi Michael,
I am looking at your uncrustify_poc_3 branch, and I see an unexpected change
related to use of IN/OUT in a function declaration.
File: MdeModulePkg\Logo\Logo.c
Before Uncrustify
=================
EFI_STATUS
EFIAPI
GetImage (
IN EDKII_PLATFORM_LOGO_PROTOCOL *This,
IN OUT UINT32 *Instance,
OUT EFI_IMAGE_INPUT *Image,
OUT EDKII_PLATFORM_LOGO_DISPLAY_ATTRIBUTE *Attribute,
OUT INTN *OffsetX,
OUT INTN *OffsetY
)
After Uncrustify
================
GetImage (
IN EDKII_PLATFORM_LOGO_PROTOCOL *This,
IN OUT UINT32 *Instance,
OUT EFI_IMAGE_INPUT *Image,
OUT EDKII_PLATFORM_LOGO_DISPLAY_ATTRIBUTE *Attribute,
OUT INTN *OffsetX,
OUT INTN *OffsetY
)
It aligned the start of each parameter line with 2 space indent, but lost the
alignment of the parameter names and did not do 2 spaces between the parameter
type and parameter name.
Best regards,
Mike

Subject: Re: [edk2-devel] Progress on getting Uncrustify working for EDK2?
On the git-blame front we might be able to build a recipe that walks past the
code style and line ending commits that would could add to an FAQ or Wiki.
For bonus points we could add a git command that does this. You can add a
Python git command to the repo by adding a git-<commandName> script in the
path. So we could add a Python git command that skips blame of any of the known
Uncrustify or line ending type commits. Basically `git eblame` that works just
like `git blame` but skips formatting changes.
I’m working on a git-pgrep that only greps files used by a given build, hopeful
I’ll be able to contribute that soon. My co-works keep finding bugs so I’m not
quite done.
Thanks,
Andrew Fish

Hi Michael,
Apologies, I've owed you a response (promised off-list) for a while
now.
First, let me say I hugely appreciate this effort. Apart from aligning
the codebase(s), this will reduce manual reviewing effort
substantially, as well as cutting down on number of rework cycles for
developers.
Looking at the changes to (well, the comments in) uncrustify, this
seems to be constrained to:
- Newline after '(' for multi-line function calls.
- Dealing with "(("/"))" for DEBUG macros.
- Function pointer typedefs:
- typedef\nEFIAPI
- closing parentheses indentation
I don't think I've made any secret over the years that I am not a
massive fan of the EDK2 coding style in general. So I think for any
of its quirks that are substantial enough that they require not just
custom configuration but actual new function added to existing code
conformance tools, this would be an excellent point to sanitise the
coding style instead.
Taking these in order:
Newline after '('
-----------------
I think we already reached a level of flexibility around this, where
we don't actually enforce this (or single argument per
line). Personally, I'd be happy to update the coding style as
required instead.
DEBUG macro parentheses
-----------------------
How does uncrustify treat DEBUG macros without this modification?
Do we start getting everything turned into multi-level indented
multi-line statements without this change?
Can we disable the rule that does not like the DEBUG macro? I seem to remember
clang nags about some strange () usage, so maybe we would not lose that much?
Thanks,
Andrew Fish
Function pointer typedefs:
--------------------------
I don't see that function pointer typedefs need to rigidly follow the
same pattern as the declaration of functions implementing them. Could
we update the coding style (if needed) instead?
Best Regards,
Leif

The edk2 branch was created here:
https://github.com/makubacki/edk2/tree/uncrustify_poc_2
We have a Project Mu fork with custom changes to the Uncrustify tool to help
comply with EDK II formatting here:
https://dev.azure.com/projectmu/_git/Uncrustify
The latest information about the status and how to experiment with the
configuration file and the tool are in that fork:
https://dev.azure.com/projectmu/Uncrustify/_wiki/wikis/Uncrustify.wiki/1/Project-Mu-(EDK-II)-Fork-Readme
That said, I have also finished a CI plugin to run Uncrustify that should be
ready soon to initially deploy in Project Mu. Before doing so, I am trying
to settle on an initial configuration file that less strictly but more
reliably formats the code than in the examples in those branches. For
example, remove heuristics that when run against the same set of code
multiple times can produce different results. An example would be a rule
that reformats code because it exceeds a specified column width on one run
but on the next run that reformatted code triggers a different rule to
further align the code and so on. At least initially, some rules might be
tweaked in a more conservative approach that can be tightened in the future.
Once this configuration file is ready, we will baseline Project Mu code as
an example and turn on the plugin. The CI plugin runs Uncrustify against
modified files and if there's any changes, indicating a formatting
deviation, the diff chunks are saved in a log so they can be viewed as a
build artifact.
I am making progress on the updated config file and I should be able to post
a "uncrustify_poc_3" branch soon with the results.
Regarding indentation, Marvin is right that Uncrustify cannot support edk2
indentation style out-of-box. Some changes are made in that fork to handle
the formatting. At this point, it can handle the indentation in the cases
I've seen. Uncrustify does potentially give us the ability to massively
deploy changes across the codebase in case a decision were made to change
the style.
Thanks,
Michael

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

I noticed a message on Twitter about an idea of using Uncrustify

I was wondering if there's been any progress on it that I could
check out?
Michael Kubacki: in that message, you said:
"I'm planning to put up a branch that we can use as a reference
for a conversation around uncrustify in the next couple of
weeks."
Did you end up creating that branch, and if so could you provide
a link to it please?
