[edk2-devel] TianoCore Community Meeting Minutes - 2/4

Fri Feb 5 22:44:53 UTC 2021

Hi Bret,

Please share the proposed adjustments.  If we can use a well supported tool that allows us to remove the C parser from ECC, then I think that would be a big improvement.

@Desimone, Nathaniel L<mailto:nathaniel.l.desimone at intel.com>, I’m interested in mentorship for the GSC project. Would like to talk offline about potential projects and past experience.

RE: ECC, we’re internally evaluating ‘uncrustify’ as an option to 1) check for formatting violations and 2) provide a tool to automatically format code prior to submission. There are changes that we’ve made to the tool to support ECC, but there are some small places that we’re coming up short. What would be the appetite to evaluate our progress and discuss possibly adjusting the ECC to be more flexible where we’ve come up short?

- Bret
