-- CheckBasicStyle.lua

--[[
Checks that all source files (*.cpp, *.h) use the basic style requirements of the project:
	- Tabs for indentation, spaces for alignment
	- Trailing whitespace on non-empty lines
	- Two spaces between code and line-end comment ("//")
	- Spaces after comma, not before
	- Opening braces not at the end of a code line
	- Spaces after if, for, while
	- (TODO) Spaces before *, /, &
	- (TODO) Hex numbers with even digit length
	- (TODO) Hex numbers in lowercase
	- (TODO) Line dividers (////...) exactly 80 slashes
	- (TODO) Not using "* "-style doxy comment continuation lines
	
Violations that cannot be checked easily:
	- Spaces around "+" (there are things like "a++", "++a", "a += 1", "X+", "stack +1" and ascii-drawn tables)
	
Reports all violations on stdout in a form that is readable by Visual Studio's parser, so that dblclicking
the line brings the editor directly to the violation.

Returns 0 on success, 1 on internal failure, 2 if any violations found
