While working on our fork I noticed an annoying issue where clang-format wasn't consistently left aligning references and pointers. I only noticed this as our own code uses right aligned style so I was doing that by habit until I noticed the a mix of alignment.
It seems by default
clang-format
will try to derive the alignment based on what it finds already in a file. I changed the.clang-format
to force always left aligned and it found a few files with mixed alignment.
