clang-format stack all if-statement arguments if they are too long

Question

I have an if statement that has several ored arguments. I have stacked them vertically as below for readability.

    if (health.fla         


        

Answer 1

Not directly, but you can achieve something like it with BreakBeforeBinaryOperators. Try setting this value to NonAssignment. This will put your || operators before each additional condition, though, not after them.

Answer 2

The only solution I've found is usage pair of // clang-format off and // clang-format on comments. E.g.

// clang-format off
if (health.flag_a || 
   health.flag_b ||
   health.flag_c ||
   health.flag_d ||
   health.flag_e ||
   health.flag_f ||
   health.flag_g ||
   health.flag_h ||
   health.flag_i ||
   health.flag_k) {
do_something();
return false;
}
// clang-format on

Yes, this is not a solution at all, but at least it prevents your stacked conditions from being re-formatted by clang-format.
