If someone has a linter setup with appropriate settings, can you please share details? I'm working on Boost.Real and would like to have a linter to help with coding style consistency. Help is appreciated.

you should follow all the guidelines listed here: https://www.boost.org/development/requirements.html Within those guidelines there is still a lot of freedom, especially regarding white space. For maintaining consistent white space treatment, I find clang-format very useful, but this needs a style file that is set up by the maintainer and put into the library. To complicate matters, different versions of clang-format produce different results based on the same style file. Best regards, Hans
