To enforce the same formatting of the C++ source code the astyle tool is used.
The following formatting options are used:
--style=ansi --indent=spaces=2 --indent-classes --indent-switches --min-conditional-indent=2 --keep-one-line-statements --keep-one-line-blocks --max-instatement-indent=2 --convert-tabs
Python code follows the style guidelines from PEP-8, except:
- 2-space indent instead of 4-space.
- Mixed case for class, method and function names, instead of lower_case_with_underscores.
