Coding style/guidelines for contributors?

[Sergei Dyshel]

I would like to contribute to the project and before I start writing any code I'd like to know coding style (whitespace, braces etc.) which is required by the author. When opening  the QtCreator project I'm asked to define these so I guess they aren't part of the project. Some stuff is easy to guess, such as putting spaces inside parenthesis (i.e. "( this_var = 5 )") (older code doesn't adhere to it though) others are nearly impossible, such as maximum line length.

There is currently no formal coding style but I try to keep it consistent. Code width is 80 characters (most of the time!).

I am not currently using a formatting tool but I see you have added a clang-format config on your branch so I might give it a go.

Thanks a lot!
