Clang format: force parameters to one-line-each even if the statement does NOT overflow

I’ve run into this exact issue and added a feature request at:

clang-format feature request: Ability to break declaration parameters based on number of parameters

opened 12:00AM - 05 Mar 22 UTC

enhancement clang-format

I would like to have the option in clang-format to always show one parameter per… line for a function declaration. At present, when BinPackParameters is false and the function declaration exceeds the current ColumnLimit, this occurs. For example, for: `void myFunction(int param1, int param2, int param3, int param4, int param5, int param6, int param7)` If ColumnLimit is 80, clang-format will convert it to: ``` void myFunction(int param1, int param2, int param3, int param4, int param5, int param6, int param7) ``` Having the option to make this happen when you have more than X parameters (regardless of line length) would be a great step forward.

Hopefully someone will address this soon.
