dune-gfe

This module contains implementations of various geometric finite element methods (GFE).

Automatic code formatting

The GitLab CI system of this module (in the file .gitlab-ci.yml) includes a job that checks for proper code formatting. The CI system uses the tool uncrustify to enforce the rules, guided by the configuration file dune-uncrustify.cfg in the dune-gfe module source directory.

CI testing of the code formatting means that any merge request will fail CI testing if it introduces code changes that violate the formatting rules. To check locally whether code changes that you have made comply with the rules, run

uncrustify -l CPP -c dune-uncrustify.cfg --no-backup `find -name "*.cc" -o -name "*.hh"`

in your source directory. If this does not modify the code, then your formatting is correct.

When starting to use uncrustify to enforce proper code formatting, one large commit had to be made that applied large amounts of white-space changes to pretty much every source file. If you are bothered by this when using git blame, you can tell git to ignore this particular commit by saying

git blame --ignore-revs-file=.git-blame-ignore-revs <file>
