Just a quick check:
version 9 does not have the --dry-run option:
https://releases.llvm.org/9.0.0/tools/clang/docs/ClangFormat.html
version 10 does:
https://releases.llvm.org/10.0.0/tools/clang/docs/ClangFormat.html
and version 12 (under development) does keep it:
https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormat.html
I have not played around with that, though.
