I feel you. We've discussed this before (in the ML and on the UEFI talkbox discord) and there's a large unwillingness to change the build system, because it's "super extensible" and all that.

But seriously, speaking as someone with a completely different personal coding style, the coding style really isn't all that bad (at the very least, it's tolerable), it's just a bastardized NT-kernel style, and with uncrustify you can auto-format all your code. What really pains me is CRLF vs LF, which breaks *every git tool*. Seriously, applying patches tends to be a pain, at least on Linux. -- Pedro -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
