Clang format splits if statement body into multipl

问题:

I have the following .cpp file:

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
void call_long_function_name(bool) {}
void sf(bool) {}
int main() {
  bool test = true;
  if (test) { call_function_name(test); }
  if (test) { sf(test); }
  return 0;
}

(the slashes delimit 80 characters). Using the following configuration file, clang-format suggests:

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
void call_long_function_name(bool) {}
void sf(bool) {}
int main() {
  bool test = true;
  if (test) { 
    call_function_name(test); 
  }
  if (test) { 
    sf(test); 
  }
  return 0;
}

even tho in the file I allow short if statements to fit into a single line.

• Did I set any options wrong?

• Which options can I use to minimize wasted vertical space?

回答1:

Newer versions of clang-format have an additional option "AllowShortBlocksOnASingleLine", which controls this behavior.

回答2:

It appears that clang-format only applies the AllowShortIfStatementsOnASingleLine option if you omit the brackets. I tested the following:

void call_long_function_name(bool) {}
void call_long_super_duper_long_really_really_long_way_long_function_name(bool) {}
void sf(bool) {}
int main() {
  bool test = true;
  if (test) 
    call_function_name(test);
  if (test)
    sf(test);
  if (test)
    call_long_super_duper_long_really_really_long_way_long_function_name(test);
  if (test) {
    return 0;
  }
  return 0;
}

And got:

void call_long_function_name(bool) {}
void call_long_super_duper_long_really_really_long_way_long_function_name(
bool) {}
void sf(bool) {}
int main() {
  bool test = true;
  if (test) call_function_name(test);
  if (test) sf(test);
  if (test)
    call_long_super_duper_long_really_really_long_way_long_function_name(test);
  if (test) {
    return 0;
  }
  return 0;
}
