I’m writing code for MQL5 using visual studio code, every now and then I have a line like this :

I am using clang-format to format my C++ code.
I have ColumnLimit set to 120 in my .clang-format configuration file. I have verified that this configuration file is being used. However, in my C++ code, I have a C++-style comment(// …) line on its own that is much longer than 120 columns and the clang-format doesn’t do anything with it. What am I missing?

I understand, that setting the option AlignAfterOpenBracket to BlockIndent will put ‘the closing parenthesis’ on a new line for function calls, where the collection of arguments does not fit in one line.

I would like Allman style and break before brace;

I’d like to have clang format align consecutive short functions aligning various parts of those functions. Is this possible?

In clang-format 17 with an empty config file, clang-format would remove any space after a function before the bracket on a single line.
