clang-format 9.0.0

pip installable clang-format

Goal

Precompiled python wheels containing the clang-format and python support files. Thus, one has pip installable clang-format useful for CI/CD, and local formatting changes, with a stable output, as long as the same version is used.

The repository for building the wheels are available at: https://github.com/mgevaert/clang-format-wheel/

Versions

The idea is to track all officially released clang-format versions, as time permits.

General Outline

1. LLVM and clang source is downloaded by host_actions.py; build scripts are created
2. Docker image from quay.io/pypa/manylinux1_x86_64 is started
3. In the container, using the build scripts created before:
   1. CMake is built (currently the cmake wheels don't work on manylinux1)
   2. Each of the desired clang-format binaries are statically built
   3. A python package skeleton is copied, and used by bdist_wheel
   4. auditwheel repair is used to make sure no library dependencies exist, and that the package is self-contained
4. Packages are uploaded via twine
