Clang-Format Style Options
==========================

:doc:`ClangFormatStyleOptions` describes configurable formatting style options
supported by :doc:`LibFormat` and :doc:`ClangFormat`.

When using :program:`clang-format` command line utility or
``clang::format::reformat(...)`` functions from code, one can either use one of
the predefined styles (LLVM, Google, Chromium, Mozilla, WebKit) or create a
custom style by configuring specific style options.


Configuring Style with clang-format
===================================

:program:`clang-format` supports two ways to provide custom style options:
directly specify style configuration in the ``-style=`` command line option or
use ``-style=file`` and put style configuration in the ``.clang-format`` or
``_clang-format`` file in the project directory.

When using ``-style=file``, :program:`clang-format` for each input file will
try to find the ``.clang-format`` file located in the closest parent directory
of the input file. When the standard input is used, the search is started from
the current directory.

The ``.clang-format`` file uses YAML format:

.. code-block:: yaml

  key1: value1
  key2: value2
  # A comment.
  ...

The configuration file can consist of several sections each having different
``Language:`` parameter denoting the programming language this section of the
configuration is targeted at. See the description of the **Language** option
below for the list of supported languages. The first section may have no
language set, it will set the default style options for all lanugages.
Configuration sections for specific language will override options set in the
default section.

When :program:`clang-format` formats a file, it auto-detects the language using
the file name. When formatting standard input or a file that doesn't have the
extension corresponding to its language, ``-assume-filename=`` option can be
used to override the file name :program:`clang-format` uses to detect the
language.

An example of a configuration file for multiple languages:

.. code-block:: yaml

  ---
  # We'll use defaults from the LLVM style, but with 4 columns indentation.
  BasedOnStyle: LLVM
  IndentWidth: 4
  ---
  Language: Cpp
  # Force pointers to the type for C++.
  DerivePointerAlignment: false
  PointerAlignment: Left
  ---
  Language: JavaScript
  # Use 100 columns for JS.
  ColumnLimit: 100
  ---
  Language: Proto
  # Don't format .proto files.
  DisableFormat: true
  ...

An easy way to get a valid ``.clang-format`` file containing all configuration
options of a certain predefined style is:

.. code-block:: console

  clang-format -style=llvm -dump-config > .clang-format

When specifying configuration in the ``-style=`` option, the same configuration
is applied for all input files. The format of the configuration is:

.. code-block:: console

  -style='{key1: value1, key2: value2, ...}'


Disabling Formatting on a Piece of Code
=======================================

Clang-format understands also special comments that switch formatting in a
delimited range. The code between a comment ``// clang-format off`` or
``/* clang-format off */`` up to a comment ``// clang-format on`` or
``/* clang-format on */`` will not be formatted. The comments themselves
will be formatted (aligned) normally.

.. code-block:: c++

  int formatted_code;
  // clang-format off
      void    unformatted_code  ;
  // clang-format on
  void formatted_code_again;


Configuring Style in Code
=========================

When using ``clang::format::reformat(...)`` functions, the format is specified
by supplying the `clang::format::FormatStyle
<http://clang.llvm.org/doxygen/structclang_1_1format_1_1FormatStyle.html>`_
structure.


Configurable Format Style Options
=================================

This section lists the supported style options. Value type is specified for
each option. For enumeration types possible values are specified both as a C++
enumeration member (with a prefix, e.g. ``LS_Auto``), and as a value usable in
the configuration (without a prefix: ``Auto``).


**BasedOnStyle** (``string``)
  The style used for all options not specifically set in the configuration.

  This option is supported only in the :program:`clang-format` configuration
  (both within ``-style='{...}'`` and the ``.clang-format`` file).

  Possible values:

  * ``LLVM``
    A style complying with the `LLVM coding standards
    <http://llvm.org/docs/CodingStandards.html>`_
  * ``Google``
    A style complying with `Google's C++ style guide
    <http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/cppguide.xml>`_
  * ``Chromium``
    A style complying with `Chromium's style guide
    <http://www.chromium.org/developers/coding-style>`_
  * ``Mozilla``
    A style complying with `Mozilla's style guide
    <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Developer_Guide/Coding_Style>`_
  * ``WebKit``
    A style complying with `WebKit's style guide
    <http://www.webkit.org/coding/coding-style.html>`_

.. START_FORMAT_STYLE_OPTIONS

**AccessModifierOffset** (``int``)
  The extra indent or outdent of access modifiers, e.g. ``public:``.

**AlignAfterOpenBracket** (``BracketAlignmentStyle``)
  If ``true``, horizontally aligns arguments after an open bracket.

  This applies to round brackets (parentheses), angle brackets and square
  brackets.

  Possible values:

  * ``BAS_Align`` (in configuration: ``Align``)
    Align parameters on the open bracket, e.g.:

    .. code-block:: c++

      someLongFunction(argument1,
                       argument2);

  * ``BAS_DontAlign`` (in configuration: ``DontAlign``)
    Don't align, instead use ``ContinuationIndentWidth``, e.g.:

    .. code-block:: c++

      someLongFunction(argument1,
          argument2);

  * ``BAS_AlwaysBreak`` (in configuration: ``AlwaysBreak``)
    Always break after an open bracket, if the parameters don't fit
    on a single line, e.g.:

    .. code-block:: c++

      someLongFunction(
          argument1, argument2);



**AlignConsecutiveAssignments** (``bool``)
  If ``true``, aligns consecutive assignments.

  This will align the assignment operators of consecutive lines. This
  will result in formattings like

  .. code-block:: c++

    int aaaa = 12;
    int b    = 23;
    int ccc  = 23;

**AlignConsecutiveDeclarations** (``bool``)
  If ``true``, aligns consecutive declarations.

  This will align the declaration names of consecutive lines. This
  will result in formattings like

  .. code-block:: c++

    int         aaaa = 12;
    float       b = 23;
    std::string ccc = 23;

**AlignEscapedNewlinesLeft** (``bool``)
  If ``true``, aligns escaped newlines as far left as possible.
  Otherwise puts them into the right-most column.

  .. code-block:: c++

    true:
    #define A   \
      int aaaa; \
      int b;    \
      int dddddddddd;

    false:
    #define A                                                                      \
      int aaaa;                                                                    \
      int b;                                                                       \
      int dddddddddd;

**AlignOperands** (``bool``)
  If ``true``, horizontally align operands of binary and ternary
  expressions.

  Specifically, this aligns operands of a single expression that needs to be
  split over multiple lines, e.g.:

  .. code-block:: c++

    int aaa = bbbbbbbbbbbbbbb +
              ccccccccccccccc;

**AlignTrailingComments** (``bool``)
  If ``true``, aligns trailing comments.

  .. code-block:: c++

    true:                                   false:
    int a;     // My comment a      vs.     int a; // My comment a
    int b = 2; // comment  b                int b = 2; // comment about b

**AllowAllParametersOfDeclarationOnNextLine** (``bool``)
  Allow putting all parameters of a function declaration onto
  the next line even if ``BinPackParameters`` is ``false``.

  .. code-block:: c++

    true:                                   false:
    myFunction(foo,                 vs.     myFunction(foo, bar, plop);
               bar,
               plop);

**AllowShortBlocksOnASingleLine** (``bool``)
  Allows contracting simple braced statements to a single line.

  E.g., this allows ``if (a) { return; }`` to be put on a single line.

**AllowShortCaseLabelsOnASingleLine** (``bool``)
  If ``true``, short case labels will be contracted to a single line.

  .. code-block:: c++

    true:                                   false:
    switch (a) {                    vs.     switch (a) {
    case 1: x = 1; break;                   case 1:
    case 2: return;                           x = 1;
    }                                         break;
                                            case 2:
                                              return;
                                            }

**AllowShortFunctionsOnASingleLine** (``ShortFunctionStyle``)
  Dependent on the value, ``int f() { return 0; }`` can be put on a
  single line.

  Possible values:

  * ``SFS_None`` (in configuration: ``None``)
    Never merge functions into a single line.

  * ``SFS_Empty`` (in configuration: ``Empty``)
    Only merge empty functions.

    .. code-block:: c++

      void f() { bar(); }
      void f2() {
        bar2();
      }

  * ``SFS_Inline`` (in configuration: ``Inline``)
    Only merge functions defined inside a class. Implies "empty".

    .. code-block:: c++

      class Foo {
        void f() { foo(); }
      };

  * ``SFS_All`` (in configuration: ``All``)
    Merge all functions fitting on a single line.

    .. code-block:: c++

        void f() { foo(); }
      };
      void f() { bar(); }

  If ``true``, ``if (a) return;`` can be put on a single line.

**AllowShortLoopsOnASingleLine** (``bool``)
  If ``true``, ``while (true) continue;`` can be put on a single
  line.

**AlwaysBreakAfterDefinitionReturnType** (``DefinitionReturnTypeBreakingStyle``)
  The function definition return type breaking style to use.  This
  option is **deprecated** and is retained for backwards compatibility.

  Possible values:

  * ``DRTBS_None`` (in configuration: ``None``)
    Break after return type automatically.
    ``PenaltyReturnTypeOnItsOwnLine`` is taken into account.

  * ``DRTBS_All`` (in configuration: ``All``)
    Always break after the return type.

  * ``DRTBS_TopLevel`` (in configuration: ``TopLevel``)
    Always break after the return types of top-level functions.



**AlwaysBreakAfterReturnType** (``ReturnTypeBreakingStyle``)
  The function declaration return type breaking style to use.

  Possible values:

  * ``RTBS_None`` (in configuration: ``None``)
    Break after return type automatically.
    ``PenaltyReturnTypeOnItsOwnLine`` is taken into account.

    .. code-block:: c++

      class A {
        int f() { return 0; };
      };
      int f();
      int f() { return 1; }

  * ``RTBS_All`` (in configuration: ``All``)
    Always break after the return type.

    .. code-block:: c++

      class A {
        int
        f() {
          return 0;
        };
      };

      int
      f();
      int
      f() {
        return 1;
      }

  * ``RTBS_AllDefinitions`` (in configuration: ``AllDefinitions``)
    Always break after the return type of function definitions.

    .. code-block:: c++

      class A {
        int
        f() {
          return 0;
        };
      };
      int f();

        return 1;
      }

  * ``RTBS_TopLevelDefinitions`` (in configuration: ``TopLevelDefinitions``)
    Always break after the return type of top-level definitions.

    .. code-block:: c++

        int f() { return 0; };
      };
      int f();
      int
      f() {
        return 1;
      }



**AlwaysBreakBeforeMultilineStrings** (``bool``)
  If ``true``, always break before multiline string literals.

  This flag is mean to make cases where there are multiple multiline strings
  in a file look more consistent. Thus, it will only take effect if wrapping
  the string at that point leads to it being indented
  ``ContinuationIndentWidth`` spaces from the start of the line.

  .. code-block:: c++

     true:                                  false:
     aaaa =                         vs.     aaaa = "bbbb"
         "bbbb"                                    "cccc";
         "cccc";

**AlwaysBreakTemplateDeclarations** (``bool``)
  If ``true``, always break after the ``template<...>`` of a template
  declaration.

  .. code-block:: c++

     true:                                  false:
     template <typename T>          vs.     template <typename T> class C {};
     class C {};

**BinPackArguments** (``bool``)
  If ``false``, a function call's arguments will either be all on the
  same line or will have one line each.

  .. code-block:: c++

    true:
    void f() {
      f(aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,
        aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa);
    }

    false:
    void f() {
      f(aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,
        aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,
        aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa);
    }

**BinPackParameters** (``bool``)
  If ``false``, a function declaration's or function definition's
  parameters will either all be on the same line or will have one line each.

  .. code-block:: c++

    true:
    void f(int aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, int aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,
           int aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa) {}

    false:
    void f(int aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,
           int aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,
           int aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa) {}

**BraceWrapping** (``BraceWrappingFlags``)

    for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
    {}

                        aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa &&
                    aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa >
                        ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc;

          foo();
        }
      catch ()
        {
        }
      void foo() { bar(); }
      class foo
      {
      };
      if (foo())
        {
        }
      else
        {
        }
      enum X : int
      {
        A,
        B
      };

  * ``BS_WebKit`` (in configuration: ``WebKit``)
    Like ``Attach``, but break before functions.

    .. code-block:: c++

      try {
        foo();
      } catch () {
      }
      void foo() { bar(); }
      class foo {
      };
      if (foo()) {
      } else {
      }
      enum X : int { A, B };

  * ``BS_Custom`` (in configuration: ``Custom``)
    Configure each individual brace in `BraceWrapping`.



**BreakBeforeInheritanceComma** (``bool``)
  If ``true``, in the class inheritance expression clang-format will
  break before ``:`` and ``,`` if there is multiple inheritance.

  .. code-block:: c++

     true:                                  false:
     class MyClass                  vs.     class MyClass : public X, public Y {
         : public X                         };
         , public Y {
     };

**BreakBeforeTernaryOperators** (``bool``)
  If ``true``, ternary operators will be placed after line breaks.

  .. code-block:: c++

     true:
     veryVeryVeryVeryVeryVeryVeryVeryVeryVeryVeryLongDescription
         ? firstValue
         : SecondValueVeryVeryVeryVeryLong;

     true:
     veryVeryVeryVeryVeryVeryVeryVeryVeryVeryVeryLongDescription ?
         firstValue :
         SecondValueVeryVeryVeryVeryLong;

**BreakConstructorInitializersBeforeComma** (``bool``)
  Always break constructor initializers before commas and align
  the commas with the colon.

  .. code-block:: c++

     true:                                  false:
     SomeClass::Constructor()       vs.     SomeClass::Constructor() : a(a),
         : a(a)                                                   b(b),
         , b(b)                                                   c(c) {}
         , c(c) {}

**BreakStringLiterals** (``bool``)
  Allow breaking string literals when formatting.

**ColumnLimit** (``unsigned``)
  The column limit.

  A column limit of ``0`` means that there is no column limit. In this case,
  clang-format will respect the input's line breaking decisions within
  statements unless they contradict other rules.

**CommentPragmas** (``std::string``)
  A regular expression that describes comments with special meaning,
  which should not be split into lines or otherwise changed.

  .. code-block:: c++

     // CommentPragmas: '^ FOOBAR pragma:'
     // Will leave the following line unaffected
     #include <vector> // FOOBAR pragma: keep

**ConstructorInitializerAllOnOneLineOrOnePerLine** (``bool``)
  If the constructor initializers don't fit on a line, put each
  initializer on its own line.

  .. code-block:: c++

    true:
    SomeClass::Constructor()
        : aaaaaaaa(aaaaaaaa), aaaaaaaa(aaaaaaaa), aaaaaaaa(aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa) {
      return 0;
    }

    false:
    SomeClass::Constructor()
        : aaaaaaaa(aaaaaaaa), aaaaaaaa(aaaaaaaa),
          aaaaaaaa(aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa) {
      return 0;
    }

**ConstructorInitializerIndentWidth** (``unsigned``)
  The number of characters to use for indentation of constructor
  initializer lists.

**ContinuationIndentWidth** (``unsigned``)
  Indent width for line continuations.

  .. code-block:: c++

     ContinuationIndentWidth: 2

     int i =         //  VeryVeryVeryVeryVeryLongComment
       longFunction( // Again a long comment
         arg);

**Cpp11BracedListStyle** (``bool``)
  If ``true``, format braced lists as best suited for C++11 braced
  lists.

  Important differences:
  - No spaces inside the braced list.
  - No line break before the closing brace.
  - Indentation with the continuation indent, not with the block indent.

  Fundamentally, C++11 braced lists are formatted exactly like function
  calls would be formatted in their place. If the braced list follows a name
  (e.g. a type or variable name), clang-format formats as if the ``{}`` were
  the parentheses of a function call with that name. If there is no name,
  a zero-length name is assumed.

  .. code-block:: c++

     true:                                  false:
     vector<int> x{1, 2, 3, 4};     vs.     vector<int> x{ 1, 2, 3, 4 };
     vector<T> x{{}, {}, {}, {}};           vector<T> x{ {}, {}, {}, {} };
     f(MyMap[{composite, key}]);            f(MyMap[{ composite, key }]);
     new int[3]{1, 2, 3};                   new int[3]{ 1, 2, 3 };

**DerivePointerAlignment** (``bool``)
  If ``true``, analyze the formatted file for the most common
  alignment of ``&`` and ``*``.
  Pointer and reference alignment styles are going to be updated according
  to the preferences found in the file.
  ``PointerAlignment`` is then used only as fallback.

**DisableFormat** (``bool``)
  Disables formatting completely.

**ExperimentalAutoDetectBinPacking** (``bool``)
  If ``true``, clang-format detects whether function calls and
  definitions are formatted with one parameter per line.

  Each call can be bin-packed, one-per-line or inconclusive. If it is
  inconclusive, e.g. completely on one line, but a decision needs to be
  made, clang-format analyzes whether there are other bin-packed cases in
  the input file and act accordingly.

  NOTE: This is an experimental flag, that might go away or be renamed. Do
  not use this in config files, etc. Use at your own risk.

**FixNamespaceComments** (``bool``)
  If ``true``, clang-format adds missing namespace end comments and
  fixes invalid existing ones.

  .. code-block:: c++

     true:                                  false:
     namespace a {                  vs.     namespace a {
     foo();                                 foo();
     } // namespace a;                      }
