Switching to a static library that contains version information as
const char strings has multiple benefits:
* The version information provided externally via compiler definitions
will fail compilation early if malformed
* An updated version string (which will happen with every commit) will
not invalidate existing compilation units, because only the static
library is affected by the change
* An update of the version change just requires a recompilation of the
static library and a linker update
* An update of the version will _not_ infect the rest of the codebase
(as it does currently, because everything includes obsconfig.h one
way or another)
* Other modules which used the macro definition directly have been
updated as much as possible to use the proper getter method from
`libobs` instead (some Windows-specific modules use preprocessor
string composition, the value has been added as a compiler definition
directly in those cases)
* Because the impact of a version change due to a commit hash change
is limited to the static library, ccache hit rates should be
improved considerably
Code submissions have continually suffered from formatting
inconsistencies that constantly have to be addressed. Using
clang-format simplifies this by making code formatting more consistent,
and allows automation of the code formatting so that maintainers can
focus more on the code itself instead of code formatting.
