No, I don't think there's such a tool. clang-format wants a lot of format settings that aren't in EditorConfig, and EditorConfig wants to address things that are not C source files. > But that is a response in a dream-world.

Would it be helpful if I sent a script that ran during CI to ensure they stayed in sync for the couple places where they overlap? I'm happy to do so if you think it would be useful. -- brian m. carlson: Houston, Texas, US OpenPGP: https://keybase.io/bk2204
