# The style check is not infallible. The clang-format configuration cannot
# perfectly describe GTK’s coding style: in particular, it cannot align
# function arguments. The documented coding style for GTK takes priority over
# clang-format suggestions. Hopefully we can eventually improve clang-format to
# be configurable enough for our coding style. That’s why this CI check is OK
# to fail: the idea is that people can look through the output and ignore it if
# it’s wrong. (That situation can also happen if someone touches pre-existing
# badly formatted code and it doesn’t make sense to tidy up the wider coding
# style with the changes they’re making.)
