Is there a way to make clang-format either add a line break before the brace in this case, or at least indent the continuation line by a higher amount of spaces than normal?
This is my issue:
if (auto it = files_by_name_.find(file_name);
it != files_by_name_.end()) {
file_name = it->second;
logWarn("File {} was not found by checksum, but a file with the "
"same name exists. Will use that instead.",
file_name);
}
This is difficult to read, as it's not obvious where the if condition ends and where the code begins without taking a closer look first. In this example, one might think the if just controls the log message.
I'd either like this instead:
if (auto it = files_by_name_.find(file_name);
it != files_by_name_.end())
{
file_name = it->second;
logWarn("File {} was not found by checksum, but a file with the "
"same name exists. Will use that instead.",
file_name);
}
So even though normally I don't want a newline before the opening brace, if the initializer and/or condition doesn't fit on one line, then there should be a newline before the brace. It seems clang-format only offers an all-or-nothing option (BraceWrapping AfterControlStatement) where either every brace gets a line break, or none of them do.
If that's not possible, then at least is there a way to get this instead:
if (auto it = files_by_name_.find(file_name);
it != files_by_name_.end()) {
file_name = it->second;
logWarn("File {} was not found by checksum, but a file with the "
"same name exists. Will use that instead.",
file_name);
}
Meaning, add extra indentation for continuation lines in if conditions.
