Bug ID: 45465
Summary: Feature request: Add capability to emulate earlier
versions
Product: clang
Version: unspecified
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P
Component: Formatter
Assignee: unassignedclangb...@nondot.org
Reporter: jo...@lippuner.ca
CC: djas...@google.com, kli...@google.com,
llvm-bugs@lists.llvm.org
As you know, the formatting produced by different versions of clang-format is
not entirely consistent. So if you use clang-format-9 to format some code, the
result will the slightly different than if you use clang-format-8 even if the
config file is exactly the same.
This is causing some issues for our collaboration since different developers
have different version of clang-format installed and available on their various
Linux distros.
It would be great if a later version of clang-format was able to emulate the
formatting of a previous version. For example, if the project decides to use
clang-format-8, those people who have clang-format-9 could just pass a flag to
clang-format-9 that tells it to format the code like clang-format-8 used to do
it.
I know this may be non-trivial to implement, but I think there would a number
of collaborative coding projects that would benefit from this feature.
