Summary
In this chapter, we navigated the essential landscape of automated code quality maintenance, focusing particularly on code formatting and naming conventions. We started by providing an overview of existing tools that can help enforce coding standards, then zeroed in on Clang-Format and Clang-Tidy as comprehensive solutions for these issues. We learned not only how to use these tools to automatically check and fix our code but also how to seamlessly integrate them into our build system, CI pipelines, and code editors.
By doing so, we’ve laid a strong foundation for ensuring that our code remains consistent and adheres to best practices, all with minimal manual intervention. This sets the stage perfectly for the next chapter, where we will dive deeper into the realm of static code analysis, further solidifying our commitment to high-quality, maintainable code.
