From: Christophe de Dinechin <dinec...@redhat.com> As written, the headers style guide looks quite wrong. In particular, it places headers in an order that makes it hard to detect hidden dependencies in SPICE headers.
These rules can be enforced by the .clang-format proposed in earlier patch, locally if you use the Emacs clang-format.el integration supplied with LLVM.
