To enforce the same formatting of the source code the astyle tool is used.
See http://astyle.sourceforge.net/ for more information.

The following formatting options are used:

   --style=ansi 
   --indent=spaces=2 
   --indent-classes 
   --indent-switches 
   --min-conditional-indent=2 
   --one-line=keep-statements 
   --one-line=keep-blocks 
   --max-instatement-indent=2 
   --convert-tabs

Astyle does a pretty decent job, but reviewing the astyle changes before committing them is still required: astyle sometimes misses the point...
