uses clang-format-diff.py to detect any style errors. If it is not in
-your PATH or it exists under different name (e.g., clang-format-diff-9

-``clangformatdiff.binary`` to point to the script.

For emacs users, integrating clang-format to emacs is very easy.
clang-format.el should come with clang distribution. If it is not
